Automated liquid handling robots (a class of devices that can include automated pipetting systems as well as microplate washers) dispense and sample liquids in tubes or wells and are often integrated as automated injection modules as the front end of liquid chromatographic systems. These critical labor saving devices offer precision sample preparation for high throughput screening/sequencing (HTC), liquid or powder weighing, sample preparation, and bio-assays of many kinds. The automated pipetting systems handle volumes ranging from .5 ul to 5 L. These units may have built in components in order to feed samples into heating and cooling systems for thermal cycling or shaking systems depending on the target application, or are physically constructed for easy integration with peripheral labware. Liquid handlers with robotic arms allow the user to program the devices to manipulate external labware to extend the systems uses. Other desirable features include programs to control start/stop functions and to choreograph sequential steps necessary for chemical and biochemical assays and for injection options.

Build Complex Assays Quickly The flexibility, speed, accuracy, and precision of the Echo 525 Liquid Handler enable researchers to build assays that are not possible with traditional liquid handlers. The use of acoustic sound energy removes the traditional boundaries of tip and pin tool based liquid handlers. Transfer variable fluid heights and viscosities from one source plate to enable rapid assay creation in one fluid transfer run. Say goodbye to fixed plate designs as the Echo Liquid Handler moves fluids from any well to any well enabling researchers to design the experimental plates they need to make new discoveries. Efficiently Transfer Build Reagents with Echo Qualified Reservoir Assay assembly and the transfer of one reagent to many wells is simplified using the Echo Qualified Reservoir. With the capability of transferring up to 2.5 µL from each micro-well, you can build your assay without requiring an instrument change – saving time and money. Flexible and Reliable Transfer of Genomic Reagents The Echo 525 Liquid Handler transfers a wide range of fluids during one transfer including distilled water, buffers, nucleic acids, and reagents containing up to 50% glycerol. With its versatile fluid range, transfer volume range, any well to any well transfer capability, and powerful applications software the Echo 525 Liquid Handler supports a wide range of genomic assay workflows: - Gene Synthesis
- PCR and qPCR assay set-up
- RNA and DNA NGS sequencing workflows
- Sanger sequencing assay set-up
- Single-cell sample preparation
