High Throughput RT-qPCR for Gene Expression Analysis

The Echo® liquid handler revolutionizes liquid handling with acoustic energy. Sound waves eject precisely sized droplets from a source onto a microplate, slide or other surface suspended above the source. This product does not use tips, pin tools or nozzles—completely eliminating contact between the instrument and the liquid. The Echo liquid handler provides powerful benefits: Tipless transfer, resulting in dramatic cost savings Improved information about sample integrity and improved transfer quality through measurement of DMSO hydration level Elimination of the need for calibration through Dynamic Fluid Analysis™ technology, a patented Labcyte process Elimination of cross-contamination, carryover or leachates through non-contact transfer Accurate, precise movement of nanoliter-scale quantities, enabling assay miniaturization and further reducing costs Better results through direct dilution of compounds, an improvement over serial dilution methods Greatly simplified assay development and dilution processes through the flexibility to transfer any volume of liquid from any well to any other well

As the revolutionary Echo® liquid handlers drive life science applications to unmatched precision and accuracy, the POD automation platform from Labcyte similarly adds automated plate handling with unmatched performance and ease-of-use. In comparison to other integrated systems, the POD system uses the wizard-based Echo® software applications to schedule and control automation events, creating routines optimized for the most efficient use of the Echo platform. Installed within 90 days from order, the POD system is ready for use immediately after site acceptance. Regardless of their experience with automation, researchers can walk-up and quickly create protocols specific to their application while the POD system manages the rest.
