Labcyte Echo550 is a nanoliter(nl) range liquid handler capable of transferring liquid from 2.5nl – 1ul (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. Echo550 offers high throughput compound screenings and samples preparation with great precision and accuracy.
Applications:
Detailed Configuration – Echo550
Standard Operation Protocol – Echo550
Location: L6-03, Laboratory Block, 21, Sassoon Road

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.
Applications:
Detailed Configuration – Amaxa Nucleofector™ II system
Location: L6-01, Laboratory Block, 21, Sassoon Road
