l Operating space envelope (minimum):
l Width: 61 cm (24 in) with bottle caddy in back
l Depth: 99 cm (39 in) including 30.5 cm (12 in) of exhaust space behind the instrument.
l Height: 97 cm (38.2 in)
l Clearance:
l Top: It is recommended to have 25.4 cm (10 in) above the instrument to remove the top cover for servicing.
Note: The instrument can be installed with a minimum of 2.5 cm (1 in) if there is sufficient space to lift the
top and slide it all the way forward. Talk to your Labcyte service representative for additional details.
l Front: It is recommended to have 40.6 cm (16 in) to allow sufficient clearance to load and unload microplates by
hand or by robot.
l Side: It is recommended to have 121.9 cm (48 in) minimum on left and right sides to allow for serviceability. The Echo
Liquid Handler should have sufficient space to be rotated, otherwise it will need to be removable for service.
l Rear: It is recommended to have 30.5 cm (12 in) minimum behind the instrument to allow for cables, hoses, tubing,
and maintenance access.
Note: Additional space for the client PC, coupling fluid chiller (if it is on the work surface), any robotics in the
system, and microplates must also be considered. The coupling fluid bottle and caddy fit within the rear
clearance.
