Echo 550
Acoustic Liquid Transfer System
The Echo 550 from Labcyte is a liquid handler optimized for transferring volumes as low as 2.5 nL of liquid between microplates with any-well-to-any-well capability coupled with any volume transfers. It uses the revolutionary Acoustic Droplet Ejection (ADE) technology for non-contact transfers, eliminating cross-contamination, reducing cost, and eliminating wasteful plastics.
Acoustic Droplet Ejection (ADE) focuses ultrasonic acoustic energy at the meniscus of a fluid sample to eject small droplets of liquid from open wells. There is no contact between the ejection mechanism and the ejected sample. This technology is especially well suited to biological applications in which precision measurements are critical and cross-contamination of samples can interfere with accurate interpretation of the results. The acoustic mechanism completely eliminates the need for pipette tips, pin tools or nozzles.
The Echo 550 includes:
- Touchless transfer operation. No tips, no nozzles and no pin tools means no cross-contamination and no waste
- Screening package with 70-100% DMSO calibrations
- Omics package with biological reagents calibrations
- User friendly cherry picking and dose response software
