Echo® 525 Liquid Handler
The Echo 525 platform, like the other Echo liquid handler models, is designed to use sound energy to transfer reagents. Unlike the other Echo models, the Echo 525 platform transfers at a larger volume increment (25 nL). This enables the more rapid transfer of aqueous reagents required in biochemical and genomics assays setup. The benefits of acoustic transfer are enabled at volumes to allow full assay assembly at volumes that…

The echo 525 is the work horse of our lab
PCR Assembly
The echo 525 is the work horse of our lab. It greatly reduces the time needed to assemble PCR reactions. It removes any contamination issues and is very reliable.

The echo is the only option for high-throughput, miniaturized NGS library generation.
NGS library prep
The echo allows us to generate NGS libraries at a miniaturized scale that is not possible with any other liquid handling device. Miniaturization allows us to process samples for a fraction of the cost of traditional preps. Integrating our echos in a larger automated workcell is allowing us to generate libraries at an unprecedented throughput.

Love it! Makes my job easy
mix reagents to create PCR reactions
The Echo is fairly simple to use, more concrete directions could be useful in terms of different applications, and a better understanding for the size of the liquid flying prior to operation.

Days of work done in minutes!
Mixing chemical reagents for high throughput assays
Trying to do 400 reactions by hand in the complexity we need would take days. With the Echo, it takes minutes. Needless to say, the Echo's ability to quickly and precisely dispense liquids is mandatory for our lab.

The benefits of acoustic transfer are enabled at volumes to allow full assay assembly at volumes that are typical of medium and high-throughput screening assays:
- Elimination of the need for calibration through Dynamic Fluid Analysis™ technology, a patented Labcyte process
- Elimination of cross-contamination, carryover or leachates
- Tipless transfer, resulting in dramatic cost savings
- Greatly simplified assay development and dilution processes through the flexibility to transfer any volume of liquid from any well to any other well
- Accurate, precise movement of nanoliter-scale quantities, enabling assay miniaturization and further reducing costs
