There’s no need for multiple instruments when you have an EL406 in the lab! The EL406 is microplate washer with peristaltic and syringe pump modules available to make it into an efficient multi-tasking system. For benchtop use or integrated into automated systems, the EL406 does the work of multiple instruments.

BioTek’s Dual-Action™ manifold quickly washes 96- and 384-well plates. For 1536 washing, unique aspirate and dispense manifolds rapidly dispense and aspirate across the plate. Wash speeds for the three plate types range from 13 seconds to 36 seconds, keeping all your processes efficient.

Cell-based assays can be challenging to wash - too often, cell monolayers are disrupted by vigorous dispensing or overly intense aspiration. The EL406 Dual-Action manifold and plate carrier have x-y-z adjustments, and flow rates are fully adjustable - to optimize parameters for even the most sensitive assays. Angled dispense tubes direct fluid flow to the well sides, further minimizing disruption.

The EL406 is a powerhouse for many standard plate washing and dispensing protocols, but it also automates more complex operations like magnetic and polystyrene bead washing workflows – and it’s Luminex® xMap® approved. Bead washing is available for 96- and 384-well microplates.

EL406 has a number of automated system maintenance features, including. BioTek’s Ultrasonic Advantage™. The dispense and aspirate tubes are immersed into the built-in ultrasonic bath in the priming trough while the automate cleaning program runs, dislodging and aspirating away salt crystal and protein buildup in the tubes.
