Agilent BioTek EL406 Microplate Washer Dispenser 406PUB2 with Peristaltic Pump and Ultrasonic Wash Module
Product Description
The Agilent BioTek EL406 Microplate Washer Dispenser 406PUB2 integrates precise microplate washing and reagent dispensing tailored for high-throughput biotechnology and molecular diagnostics workflows. Designed to support 384-well microplate formats, this system features a dual-action 192-tube manifold enabling efficient washing with selectable parameters and fast operation—completing 384-well, 100 µL aspiration/dispense cycles in approximately 17 seconds.
- Dispensing Module: Utilizes a single positive displacement peristaltic pump with autoclavable 8-tip cassette (1, 5, 10 µL options) offering reagent dispense volumes from 1 to 3000 µL with high accuracy (±2–5% depending on volume) and precision (<5% CV).
- Washing Capability: Includes ultrasonic bath cleaning to prevent protein and salt crystal buildup, with selectable cycles from 1 to 250 washes. Wash volumes range 25–5000 µL/well with precision ≤4% CV.
- Automation and Software: Equipped with an onboard software interface featuring a 2x24 LCD display and 25 programmable soft keys for protocol creation and execution. Compatible with Biostack plate stackers for automated high-throughput assay workflows.
- Additional Features: Supports shaking, soaking, and sonication protocols programmable up to 60 minutes. Chemical sterilization capability enhances bioprocessing and molecular biology applications.
- Applications: Widely used in ELISA, MSD assays, cell- and bead-based assays, magnetic and vacuum filtration, PCR microvolume dispensing, serial dilutions, and plate coating protocols critical in molecular cloning and synthetic biology research.
This model serves as a reliable, space-efficient solution favored in clinical diagnostics, biotechnology labs, and biopharmaceutical production pipelines requiring consistent microplate washing and dispensing reliability. Its ultrasonic wash technology and peristaltic pump dispensing make it essential for workflows demanding high precision and reproducibility across 96- and 384-well plates, supporting advances in gene editing and molecular diagnostics.
Key Technical Specifications:
- Plate Format: 96- and 384-well (upgradeable to 1536-well with additional options)
- Wash Manifold: Dual-action 192-tube (optional 384-well faster washing)
- Dispense Volume Range: 1–3000 µL (cassette-dependent), wash volume 25–5000 µL
- Dispense Precision: Typically <4% CV for dispense, <3% CV at 1 µL/well typical precision
- Wash Speed: 17 seconds per 384-well plate cycle
- Ultrasonic Cleaning: Integrated for wash head maintenance
- User Interface: 2 x 24 character LCD, 25 soft keys, programmable protocols
- Sterilization: Autoclavable and chemical compatible
- Compatible Automation: BioStack 2WR Plate Stacker support
The EL406 model supports essential biotechnology workflows including bioprocessing assays, molecular cloning setups, and synthetic biology research protocols where accurate microplate fluid handling and washing are critical. Its modular design and configuration flexibility accommodate diverse research demands in biomedical engineering and drug discovery.
This equipment is factory-serviced, stress-tested under load, and verified for volumetric accuracy across multiple dispense channels to ensure operational reliability. The system includes tubing kits, vacuum pump, and communication cables, with optional on-site training and extended warranty services available. Pre-owned units undergo rigorous maintenance protocols, making this washer-dispenser an economical yet dependable choice for research institutions and biopharma manufacturing environments.
