1.4.2 Echo applications
Labcyte provides the following Echo Applications that extend beyond the
basic Echo software to enable the operator to easily create a variety of
more complex destination plates.Labcyte currently provides the following
software applications:
 Echo Dose-Response: eliminates the tedious and error-prone steps
in manual serial dilution to produce assay-ready microplates for IC
50
,
EC
50
, and dose-response curves; includes creation of intermediate
plate for additional concentrations; generates customizable reports in
common data formats.
 Echo Cherry Pick: transfers sample from any source well to any
destination well; uses customer-provided pick list to automate plate-
mapping; generates customizable reports for tracking sample data.
 Echo Plate Reformat: automates microplate replication, down-
stacking and up-stacking microplates; also provides custom plate
mapping for pooling, transposing or interleaving samples.
 Echo Array Maker: automates sample transfer for specialized
microplates, such as protein crystallization; enables custom array
creation to SBS-compliant destination labware.
 Echo Plate Audit: enables customers to collect information on
sample properties such as fluid height, fluid volume, and
composition; quickly assess sample quality across plates.
For customers requiring additional customization, Labcyte also provides
Echo application programming interfaces and code examples to integrate
the Echo system into their own laboratory automation system.
