Plate washing and dispensing
BioTek EL406 Washer Dispenser
The BioTek EL406 washer dispenser is a compact instrument offering fast, full plate washing along with three reagent dispensers. The EL406 capabilities include washing and dispensing for standard assays, plus biomagnetic separation and vacuum filtration protocols.
The Dual-Action manifold optimizes washing for loosely adherent cell monolayers. The patented Ultrasonic Advantage prevents blockages in the manifold tubes before washing, to reduce assay failure. This modular plate washer dispenser offers flexibility with both syringe pump and peristaltic pump dispensers, along with plate washing, on a single platform.

Product Details
Features
- Washing and multiple reagent dispensing system eliminates the need for multiple instruments. Efficient and multitasking, the microplate washer with peristaltic and syringe pump modules provide flexibility for benchtop or integrated automated systems
- Compatible with 96-, 384-, and 1536-well plate configurations, the Dual-Action manifold has rapid wash speeds for increased efficiency in your workflow. Wash speeds for the three plate types range from 13 to 36 seconds, saving time in the wash process
- Gentle processing for cell-based assays with a plate carrier that has x-y-z adjustments and flow rates that are adjustable can minimize disruption of cells. The ability to optimize parameters for the most sensitive assays can diminish disruption of sample
- Magnetic and polystyrene bead washing and standard plate washing and dispensing protocols for flexible operation. Automated bead washing for 96- and 384-well plates. Compatible with Luminex xMap
- Easy user maintenance with Ultrasonic Advantage automated system maintenance features. Built in ultrasonic bath and automated cleaning program dislodges and aspirates salt crystals and protein build up in the system, saving time and preventing clogging
