Miniaturization of DNA Assembly for Synthetic Biology

17 Nov 2016

Traditional DNA assembly methods require reactions of 10-20 microliters per well. The Echo liquid handler can reduce that volume 10-fold, drastically cutting costs. With the ability to reliably transfer volumes as low as 2.5 nanoliters, Echo systems can extend the useful life of a primer library and eliminate the need to dilute high concentration primers, saving on storage and primer costs, and preventing dilution errors.

Echo® 525 Liquid Handler

Beckman Coulter Life Sciences

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.
