System Description
3-21
Additional notes on Table 3.2
1. At low volumes, transfer times for the Echo 520 and 550 systems are similar; how-
ever, as the volume increases, the Echo 550 system shows a faster transfer time.
2. Transfer time is dependent on the number of transfers per plate; therefore, for a
full plate, transfer times for a 384-well plate will always be faster than for 1536-
well plate.
3. At higher volumes, the difference in transfer time between the Echo systems
changes significantly.
Supported fluids: Echo 550 and Echo 555 support a wide range of
aqueous and DMSO-based solutions. Echo 520 system supports DMSO-
based solutions only.
