How It Works

Washing and multiple reagent dispensing

There is 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 multitasking system. For benchtop use or integrated into automated systems, the EL406 does the work of multiple instruments.

Bead washing: magnetic and polystyrene

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 is Luminex xMap compatible. Bead washing is available for 96- and 384-well microplates.

96-, 384-, and 1536-well plate compatible

The 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 to 36 seconds, keeping all your processes efficient.

Applications

Gentle processing for cell-based assays

Cell-based assays can be challenging to wash and 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.

Modularity enables application versatility

Applications for the EL406 Washer Dispenser run from simple dispense operations to full scale automation of liquid handling steps in preparation for downstream processes. Here are a few important applications of the EL406.
