Our Acoustic liquid dispensing apparatus offers efficient and precise dispensing capabilities, allowing rapid execution of any-well-to-any-well transfers, including complex dispensing tasks such as DNA/RNA normalization, barcoding, and library pooling, which can now be completed in minutes rather than hours. With the ability to dispense samples in a high throughput and contactless manner, these acoustic liquid dispensing systems have become an essential component of laboratories, significantly reducing the time required for constructing engineered DNA libraries. The non-contact acoustic transfers ensure accurate and precise dispensing of small molecules, peptides, proteins, and nucleic acids with utmost confidence.
FEATURES
Essential Features of Our Acoustic Dispenser
- The liquid dispensing apparatus delivers exceptional performance, providing precise and reliable dispensing capabilities for various applications.
- Acoustic liquid handlers have been used in early preclinical drug discovery efforts by major pharmaceutical and biotech companies for over 20 years. The utility of the platform has been extended from small molecule-based research to include dispensing of antibody/antibody-like molecules, complexed lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) as well as antibody drug conjugates (ADCs).
- Built with high-quality materials and advanced technology, our system ensures accurate and consistent results, meeting the stringent quality standards required in generating underlying datasets used in deep learning research applications in life science.
- The apparatus is engineered to withstand heavy usage in clinical laboratories, offering exceptional durability that reduces the chances of any loss of sample, providing reliable and uninterrupted performance over an extended period.
APPLICATIONS
Applications of our Acoustic Dispenser
- Our acoustic liquid dispensing systems are widely used in drug discovery workflows for accurate and high-throughput compound dispensing, enabling efficient screening, counter-screening, highly precise dose response curve generation as well as combinatorial screens for potential drug candidates.
- They are finding roles in leading-edge applications such as combinatorial synthesis and screening of macrocycles. The combinatorial nature of the platform can accelerate design-build-test-learn cycles to days versus a typical weeks-long MedChem cycle.
- They play a crucial role in the cell line development workflow by facilitating precise dispensing of media, reagents, and cells.
- In oligonucleotide characterization, our liquid dispensing apparatus enables the precise transfer of small volumes, contributing to the accurate measurement and analysis of oligonucleotide samples.
- It plays a vital role in synthetic engineering applications, enabling the precise dispensing of DNA fragments, enzymes, and other components for constructing genetic constructs, optimizing DNA variant libraries, and accelerating genetic circuit synthesis. It also supports pDNA template creation and plasmid DNA purification, which is essential for gene synthesis and synthetic biology research.
- In a similar application, the combinatorial touchless nature of acoustic dispensing facilitates large numbers of peptide, peptide-like and proteins to be tested in a scalable manner using technologies such as cell free protein synthesis (CFPS).
FAQs
What are the factors to consider when buying a liquid handler?
When purchasing a liquid handler, it's important to consider the following factors:
- Application Compatibility: One should evaluate whether the Echo Liquid Handler is compatible with specific application requirements, including high-throughput sample transfers, precise dispensing, and compatibility with desired plate formats.
