The Agilent BioTek 406 FX washer dispenser is a compact instrument offering fast, full plate washing along with up to six reagent dispensers. The Dual-Action manifold optimizes washing for a variety of cell types, in addition to biomagnetic and filtration protocols in plate configurations ranging from 96- to 1536-well.

The non-contact plate dispensing capabilities offer maximum flexibility, including up to four syringe pumps and two peristaltic pump dispensers that enable rapid dispensing of reagents, cells and other precious reagents. Plate access on both the left and right side of the instrument allows the instrument to be completely automation friendly.

How it works

Multiple processes in a single instrument

The flexibility and capabilities of the Agilent BioTek 406 FX washer dispenser allow noncontact dispensing, and full-plate washing in a variety of plate densities, all in one instrument. This eliminates the need to move microplates between a plate washer (1), peristaltic pump dispensers (2-3) and syringe pump dispensers (4-5) for complex liquid-handling workflows.

Independent dispenser fluid paths

Multiple independent fluid paths means that up to six different reagents can be loaded and dispensed in a single procedure, eliminating the need to incorporate multiple dispensers.

Self-maintaining Ultrasonic Advantage system

The built-in Agilent BioTek Ultrasonic Advantage allows the instrument to clean buildup in the manifold tube automatically, preventing failure during wash procedures.
