Echo 655T® LIQUID HANDLER, Labcyte (CAT#: AM-AUTO-0167-LY)

The Echo 655T® LIQUID HANDLER is manufactured by Labcyte. The device supports the transfer of samples directly from the Echo Qualified sample tube to realize the complete non-contact liquid treatment process from sample storage to the analytical preparation plate. It is able to transfer liquid as low as 2.5 nl from the microplates of wells 384 and 1536, as well as the sample tubes now arranged in 96 tube format. In addition, it transfers at the highest speed to meet the needs of high-thoughput biochemical and cell-based screening.
