Plate washing and dispensing
BioTek EL406 Washer Dispenser
The Dual-Action manifold optimizes washing for loosely adherent cell monolayers. The proprietary Ultrasonic Advantage prevents blockages in the manifold tubes before washing, to reduce assay failure. This modular microplate washer dispenser offers flexibility with both syringe pump and peristaltic pump dispensers, along with plate washing, on a single platform.

Agilent BioTek Ultrasonic Advantage
Poor microplate washer maintenance can lead to ELISA assay failure, system downtime, and increased costs. Unexpected clogging of the washer manifold tubes is the single largest contributor to failures, but cleaning can be a time consuming and labor intensive process.
Learn MoreDual Action Manifold
Agilent BioTeks dual-action manifold design allows independent control and positioning of both the aspirate and dispense sections of the manifold, providing major benefits.
Learn MoreParallel Dispense Technology
Microplate dispensers typically use either peristaltic pumps or syringe pumps to deliver reagents. Each pump type has advantages, depending on the assay requirements. Agilent BioTek combines the two pumps in its Parallel Dispense functionality, making a single instrument capable of performing multiple tasks.
