The Echo Liquid Handler can emit vibration while in operation and is susceptible to vibration
from other devices. For this reason, the Echo system should be placed on a surface that is
isolated from surrounding equipment or designed to suppress the transmission of vibration
from devices. The surface must be sturdy, level, and water-resistant with cross-bracing or
welded joints.
The surface must be capable of supporting a minimum of 142 kg (313 lbs) weight with
sufficient surface area to accommodate the Echo Liquid Handler in the recommended
operating envelope (see Echo Liquid Handler Dimensions). If the mounting surface is a table
top, the table legs should not rest on casters. If the table has casters, they should be locked.
If the chiller will be installed on the bench surface, it must accommodate an additional 14 kg
(31 lbs).
At installation, ensure common destination plates to be used with the instrument are
available for tuning the destination plate gripper.
Use only ASTM D-1193 Type 1 water in the fluidics system
Coupling Fluid Temperature: 22.1°C ± 0.9°C (71.8°F± 1.6°F)
