Modular Workstation Mode - Labcyte Echo 525 User Manual

What system configurations are supported?

Modular Workstation Mode

Modular workstation mode differs from manual mode using the Liquid Handler software with the addition of a robot to automate
the loading and unloading of source and destination plates. Typically, a custom program is written that controls and synchronizes
the Echo Liquid Handler and robot interactions.
An operator is still involved and performs the following functions:
Deliver master source microplates from the reagent library.
l
Maintain a supply of empty destination microplates.
l
Select and execute the fluid transfer protocol.
l
Deliver the filled assay microplates to the next step in the process.
l
Monitor the status of the Echo Liquid Handler and the robot, possibly with the assistance of a custom software program.
