BioTek Instruments has introduced the EL406 microplate washer dispenser.
The instrument offers full microplate washing along with peristaltic and microprocessor-controlled syringe drive reagent dispenser technologies to optimise liquid-handling processes in microplate format.
By combining washing and dispensing technologies in one compact unit, BioTek said users can save bench space as well as the expense of multiple dedicated instruments.
The EL406 integrates peristaltic and syringe drive dispensing, affording the researcher a technology choice for different assay requirements.
Up to three reagents may be dispensed at one time using either technology.
Washing is available with up to four buffers and BioTek's Dual Action manifold provides independent control of aspirate and dispense functions for precise control of all washing parameters, including fragile or loosely adherent cell monolayers.
Integrated Ultrasonic Advantage provides automatic wash manifold maintenance, eliminating clogged manifold tubes.
The EL406 may be interfaced with the BioStack Microplate Stacker for automated processing of up to 50 standard height microplates.
