Due to their outstanding throughput, high transfer accuracy and precision down to nanoliter volumes and any-well to any-well transfer capabilities, Echo Liquid Handlers have long been integral to state-of-art sample management and high throughput screening solutions.
Offering these same benefits, the Echo 650T Liquid Handler now supports sample transfer directly from Echo Qualified sample tubes enabling a fully non-contact dispensing workflow from sample storage all the way to assay ready plates. Capable of transferring as little as 2.5 nL from 384-well and 1536-well microplates and now acoustic tubes arrayed in a 96-tube format, the Echo 650T Liquid Handler is ready to meet the needs of a wide variety of molecular and cellular assays.
The FluidX AcoustiX Sample Tube (FAST) was developed in collaboration with and is sold by Brooks Life Sciences for ultra-high-density sample storage. The acoustic tube offers the following benefits:
To meet the broad spectrum of sample throughput needs, the Echo 650T Liquid Handler seamlessly integrates with the highly configurable Access Dual or Single Robot System accommodating a wide variety of devices and enabling a fully automated workflow. Whether your workflow requires plate reformatting, hit picking, daughter plate creation or adding samples and reagents for screening assays or genomics workflows, Labcyte offers a fully integrated Echo 650T Liquid Handler solution to meet your needs.
