Beckman Echo650 Acoustic Liquid Handler
Beckman Echo650 Acoustic Liquid Handler is a nanoliter(nl) range liquid handler capable of transferring liquid from nanoliter to microliter (in multiples of 2.5nl) with the use of acoustic energy. Dynamic Fluid Analysis ensures accurate liquid transfer of various type of fluid, depending on the fluid properties measured in real-time. This touchless transfer technology requires no tips or pin thus can dramatically reduce carry-overs and cross-contaminations. Echo 650 offers high throughput compound screenings and samples preparation with great precision and accuracy.
Applications:
-
- 384-well qPCR plate preparation
- Drug serial dilution and preparation
- Drug screening on tissue culture

Amaxa Nucleofector™ II system
A high efficiency transfection system used with proprietary reagent and cuvette. Nucleofector system is capable of transfecting DNA, RNA or proteins into a variety of cells with electroporation technology. It is a powerful tool for transfecting large DNA fragments and achieving good transfection efficiencies in cell lines. It enables highly efficient transfection of primary cells, stem cells, neurons, and cell lines that have traditionally been difficult to transfect by electroporation and other non-viral transfection methods.
