The Labcyte Echo® Acoustic Liquid Handlers have been adopted across pharmaceutical sample management and screening programs for the dispensing of reagents in a wide variety of molecular and cellular assays. The key features of non-contact acoustic liquid handling include lower transfer volumes (as little as 2.5nL) and no sample-tip interactions - eliminating compound lose due to adhesion to or contamination from the tip plastic itself. As a result, use of acoustic liquid handling often leads to improved data quality, higher throughput and lower assay costs.

Downstream pharmaceutical groups responsible for bioassay development and testing have expressed interest in using the Echo® Liquid Handlers for very similar reasons, however, are often governed by strict regulations designed to maintain full traceability for all aspects of bioassay development and deployment. During this tutorial, we will discuss the benefits to non-contact liquid handling when running bioassays, how Labcyte is supporting customers working within regulated environments and share feedback from our customers on our latest software solution, Echo® 21CFR11 Compliance Manager.
