Modular Workstation Mode
Modular workstation mode differs from manual mode using the Liquid Handler software with the addition of a robot to automate
the loading and unloading of source and destination plates. Typically, a custom program is written that controls and synchronizes
the Echo Liquid Handler and robot interactions.
An operator is still involved and performs the following functions:
l Deliver master source microplates from the reagent library.
l Maintain a supply of empty destination microplates.
l Select and execute the fluid transfer protocol.
l Deliver the filled assay microplates to the next step in the process.
l Monitor the status of the Echo Liquid Handler and the robot, possibly with the assistance of a custom software program.
