Automated Liquid Handler
The Echo qualified reservoir for the Echo 525 is a liquid handler source plate designed to enable convenient assay assembly and efficient large volume reagent transfers. The reservoir enables scientists performing genomic, proteomic and cell-based assays to reduce the use of costly reagents while achieving rapid fluid transfers.
The Echo 525 liquid handler utilizes ultrasound acoustic droplet ejection (ADE) technology to rapidly transfer liquids between microplates in nanoliter increments. Without using pins or tips, the liquid handler can precisely and accurately dispense 25 nanoliters per droplet, enabling assay miniaturization and improving data quality. The system requires no user calibration as it adjusts the transfer parameters for each well based on the acoustic analysis of the fluid to be transferred.
The Echo qualified reservoir is specifically designed for the liquid handler to improve the efficiency when transferring a single fluid to many wells in a destination plate. The product’s 6-well design enables the transfer of over 15 milliliters from a single plate. The working volume for each chamber is 2.6 mL and each chamber can contain a different fluid, making assay assembly more flexible.
