Save on Plasticware—Eliminate Intermediate Dilutions
 
A major pharmaceutical company has stated that a single Echo system saved them more than $200,000 in consumables plastic in one year. High-throughput screening is usually done at low micromolar concentrations of sample but those samples are usually stored in mM stock solutions. This requires using intermediate plates and tips to move the samples from stock solution to final assay. Elimination of the intermediate step also means less chance of contamination of the samples and improved transfer precision and accuracy. And, of course, you save not only by using less tips and no intermediate plates but you also reduce the amount of solid waste generated by the lab further reducing cost.

Save money by eliminating plasticware while getting better answers faster.


Save on DMSO—Eliminate Washes

Because there are no pipette tips or pin tools to wash, the amount of DMSO or other solvents used in screening is dramatically reduced. This not only saves money on the front end but the amount of DMSO waste can be reduced by thousands of liters a year saving significantly on disposal costs. The chart shows that acoustic droplet ejection can save a company almost $1.3 million in 5 years while generating better answers.

Don’t risk corrupting your assays with contamination.

            


Save on Reagents—Miniaturize Assays

Simply moving from 96-well format to 384-well format can save you 75% on reagent costs. And moving to 1536-well can save more than 90%.

Don’t be prevented from miniaturization by high CV%s. Switch to ADE for unsurpassed low-volume results.


Save on Sample

The compounds in your library are the company’s crown jewels. Don’t throw them away! By miniaturizing you can make sample stocks last 16 times as long or do 16 times as many assays.

Miniaturization cuts solid and liquid waste costs.
