The EL406 microplate washer dispenser from Biotek Instruments offers fast microplate washing and reagent dispensing in 1536-well microplates, along with 384-well and 96-well formats.
By combining microplate washing and up to three reagent dispensers, researchers no longer need to purchase and maintain separate instruments for each assay wash and reagent dispense step.
The EL406 incorporates many of the washing features of the ELx405 microplate washer.
Biotek's dual-action manifold provides optimised applications from gentle washing of loosely adherent cell monolayers to complex washing routines.
The EL406 is self maintained, using integrated and ultrasonic advantage to reduce or eliminate clogged manifold tubes.
A valve switching module automates reagent switching of up to four different buffers.
Accurate and precise reagent dispensing is available in peristaltic and microprocessor-controlled syringe drive reagent dispensing technologies.
All functions are controlled via liquid handling control (LHC) PC software or the instrument's onboard keypad, including multiple custom protocols, instant recall via Quickwash and Quickdispense, and downloaded protocols from LHC software.
All EL406 models are Biostack microplate stacker compatible to automate long assay processes of up to 50 standard height microplates.
