NEW Tools Enable Total Assay Assembly on a Single Instrument
- siRNA screening
- Biochemical assays
- Cell-based assays
- 384- and 1536-well PCR
We have developed new acoustic droplet ejection parameters that for the first time enable users to eject multiple fluid types on a single instrument. These fluids include common biological buffers, protein and nucleic acid solutions, cell culture media, surfactants and DMSO. All Echo systems come pre-calibrated so that you can be productive right away. Switch fluid types instantly with a single mouse-click; no further adjustment is required to achieve the same superior precision and accuracy our users have come to expect from Echo liquid handlers.
These powerful new capabilities are available in bundled packages to provide exactly the tools you need for your applications.

Echo Liquid Handlers Enable Assay Miniaturization to Improve Results and Reduce Costs
Using truly touchless acoustic droplet ejection (ADE) technology, Echo liquid handlers deliver more precise and more accurate results, enabling miniaturization into higher density and lower well-volume microplates. Transfer fluids from as many as 640,000 wells per day with this unique technology. These systems use ADE to transfer any volume as low as 2.5 nL among 384- and 1536-well microplates, with any-well-to-any-well capability. Our patented acoustic control methodologies, exacting mechanical design and stringent quality control ensure that all Echo systems deliver the same unsurpassed volumetric precision and accuracy specifications for all fluid types.
Realize even greater productivity with application-specific software dedicated to maximizing the efficiency of your Echo liquid handler.
All Echo 500 series liquid handlers feature:
- Pre-calibration for the fluid types that you need so that you can be productive immediately
- Touchless transfer operation. No tips, no nozzles and no pin tools means no cross-contamination and no waste
- Dispense volume from 2.5 nL and up
- Upgradability as your needs evolve
- Automation- and integration-ready for robust 24-hour operation
Echo 555
The Echo® 555 liquid handler is the world’s fastest ADE liquid handling platform. It transfers 2.5 nL of up to 640,000 samples, or 50 nL of up to 463,000 samples, directly to assay wells in 24 hours. The Echo 555 liquid handler surveys each well to report the fluid volume in the wells and the water content for samples in DMSO. This system is ideally suited to any laboratory that requires very high-throughput liquid-handling.
Echo 550
As the world’s first ADE system available for life science applications, the award-winning Echo 550 liquid handler remains the proven choice for ultra-low-volume liquid handling in leading pharmaceutical companies. Like the Echo 555 liquid handler, the Echo 550 liquid handler reports both fluid volume and DMSO hydration.
Echo 520
The Echo 520 liquid handler delivers the same superior precision and accuracy as the 550 and 555 models, for laboratories with lower throughput needs. The Echo 520 liquid handler reports source well volume but does not report DMSO hydration values.
