Labcyte Echo 550 - High Accuracy, Precision, and Speed

1-10 Echo Liquid Handler User Manual
1.2.7 High accuracy, precision, and speed
High throughput capabilities are maintained without degrading fluid
transfer accuracy and precision.
Droplet-to-droplet volumetric precision exhibits a low CV (coefficient of
variation) for all fluid types tested to date. This is attributed to the
elimination of sample contact with the ejection mechanism. In addition,
dynamic real-time measurement of the fluid at multiple times during a run
allows the system to adjust automatically and instantaneously to changes in
fluid behavior.The use of a single, high-speed, serial mechanism reduces
sample-to-sample variability with the Echo liquid handler as compared to
tip-based and other instruments that use multiple mechanisms in parallel.
