Ease Of Use - Labcyte Echo 520 User Manual

1.2.3 Ease of use

An Echo liquid handler is quickly ready for use.
 Minimal operator training is required.
 User calibration or recalibration are not required.
 Preparation for liquid transfers requires little more than defining a
transfer protocol and selecting the source and destination plates
being used.
Protocols or destination plates can be quickly defined by the operator.
 Liquid transfer requires only a few "clicks" by the operator, using the
software, which is included with each instrument.
 The Echo liquid handler can be operated manually by a researcher or
as part of a fully automated drug discovery lab.
For example, Figure 1.4 demonstrates the simple, two-step process
required to run an existing fluid transfer protocol using the software
program.
