Agilent BioTek EL406 406PUB1 Microplate Washer Dispenser with Ultrasonic and Peristaltic Pump
Product Description
The Agilent BioTek EL406 Microplate Washer Dispenser 406PUB1 integrates automated microplate washing and precise reagent dispensing using a peristaltic pump. Designed for 96- and 384-well microplates, this versatile instrument supports a wide range of bioanalytical workflows including ELISA, MSD assays, cell-based assays, bead-based assays, magnetic/vacuum filtration protocols, PCR setup, and serial dilutions.
Key technical features include:
- 96-Tube Dual-Action Wash Manifold enabling independent dispensing and aspiration with selectable wash parameters and crosswise aspiration to reduce residue. Optional 192-tube manifold available for high-throughput 384-well plate washing.
- Ultrasonic wash functionality for clog-free performance and enhanced auto-clean capability, ensuring consistent wash quality critical in molecular diagnostics and bioprocessing workflows.
- Dispense volume ranges:
- Peristaltic pump: 1–3000 µL (dependent on cassette), with precision typically <3% CV and <10% CV at 1 µL/well.
- Washer dispense: 50–3000 µL at <3.0% CV for 300 µL volumes.
- Supports single reagent dispensing with up to four wash buffers via optional valve module for flexible assay protocols.
- Additional integrated features: timed shaking, soaking, and sonication to enhance assay reproducibility during wash cycles.
- Compatible software (LHC) for advanced method creation, automation, and laboratory integration in biotechnology and clinical diagnostics settings.
- Compact bench footprint catering to labs with limited space, while delivering robust and reproducible results essential in biomanufacturing and gene editing research.
This model comes fully serviced, stress-tested, and configured with:
- Vacuum pump, source and waste bottles, dispensing tubing, power and communication cables.
- Optional on-site setup, training, and extended warranty services. Volume verification via Artel services is also available for precision-critical dispensing applications.
Widely adopted in synthetic biology research and molecular biology labs, the EL406 is critical for workflows requiring reliable high-throughput microplate washing and precise reagent dispensing. The use of ultrasonic cleaning technology reduces assay variability and improves throughput in biopharmaceutical, molecular diagnostics, and live-cell imaging applications.
This instrument is a proven workhorse predecessor to the EL406 FX, retaining cartridge compatibility to support sustained laboratory productivity. It offers significant cost savings relative to new models while maintaining high standards of performance and reliability.
