Labcyte Advances Automatic Acoustic Liquid Handling With Dynamic Fluid Analysis™

Sunnyvale, CA, February 6, 2012 – Labcyte has patented and released a novel software algorithm that enables a greater range of fluid types to be automatically transferred with acoustic energy. Dynamic Fluid AnalysisTM enables the Echo® liquid handling systems to adapt to fluid properties changes such as surface tension and viscosity, and adjusts sound energy in real time with no operator intervention required. The advanced capabilities eliminate the operator calibration required by other liquid handling devices.
