The Advantages of Acoustic Liquid Handling for Drug Sensitivity Screening

Recently identified associations between variants of cancer genes and drug resistance have increased the value for comprehensive drug sensitivity screening in combination with molecular profiling of cancer cells. Echo® Liquid Handlers use acoustic energy to provide high throughput, non-contact, liquid handling for a range of applications. This poster discusses the implementation of miniaturized drug sensitivity screening, at the Institute of Molecular Medicine in Finland (FIMM), with assay-ready plates produced by the Echo liquid handler.
