SCIEX collaborates with Beckman Coulter Life Sciences to bring automation to the Echo MS system

SCIEX has announced a new collaboration with Beckman Coulter Life Sciences, a company specializing in laboratory workflow automation and innovation. This collaboration will provide comprehensive workflows for high-throughput screening, HT-ADME and synthetic biology studies. The Echo^® MS system, built on Acoustic Ejection Mass Spectrometry technology from SCIEX, is now compatible with the Biomek and Echo liquid handler lines from Beckman Coulter Life Sciences

The Beckman Coulter Life Sciences automatic liquid handling solutions are comprised of the Echo and Biomek lines. Both offer a broad range of flexible and scalable liquid handling solutions for a variety of workflows. Customers with existing or planned installations of Echo and Biomek Liquid Handlers can connect them to the Echo MS system and automate sample handling.

“Through this collaboration with SCIEX, we are elated to showcase the powerful combination of our Biomek and Echo Liquid Handlers with the SCIEX Echo MS system and CE analysis instrumentation and the workflow enhancements this might provide in a variety of areas, including early drug discovery” said Amy Yoder, Director of Product Management for Automation and Genomics at Beckman Coulter Life Sciences.
