Simplicis has launched the Ledger™ Echo Ready Platform as the launch partner for the Beckman Coulter Life Sciences Echo Ready Digital Solutions Program, expanding digital workflow and data management capabilities for Echo acoustic liquid handling users.

Echo acoustic liquid handling has earned wide recognition as a gold standard for contactless liquid dispensing. Laboratories use the technology across early drug discovery and emerging applications such as biotherapeutics engineering, synthetic biology, and nanotechnology. Echo workflows support highly combinatorial experiments, enable miniaturization, and help generate high-quality assay-ready plates while reducing contamination risk linked to traditional liquid handlers.

The Echo Ready partnership program focuses on delivering expanded value to Echo users through ready-to-execute kits, chemistries dispensed directly from Echo Qualified source labware, and digital solutions that interface directly with Echo instruments. Within this program, Simplicis contributes digital infrastructure designed to address data and workflow challenges associated with acoustic dispensing.

Acoustic workflows generate large volumes of experimental data, and manual data handling can introduce risks to reproducibility. Simplicis has built expertise in this area over more than 15 years. Since launching Ledger™ Acoustic in 2011, the company has developed comprehensive integrations for Echo instruments and Access Workstations. This experience underpins a data and workflow management platform that supports complex experimental designs, including pooling strategies, mixtures, and dynamic curve generation.

The Ledger™ Echo Ready Platform represents the next evolution of Ledger™ Acoustic and broadens access to these capabilities for a wider user base. The platform works with all Echo instrument models and delivers robust data management validated across more than 300 workflows. It supports sample-agnostic data integrity and captures all acoustic operations within a fully digital chain of custody, creating a complete audit trail to support compliant and efficient laboratory operations.

As part of the Echo Ready Digital Solutions Program, the Ledger™ Echo Ready Platform provides a LIMS-in-a-box solution designed specifically for Echo users. The commercially deployable platform enables ready-to-execute workflows for Echo customers worldwide, supporting standardized execution and data traceability across laboratories.

Both Beckman Coulter Life Sciences and Simplicis operate from Indianapolis, Indiana, reinforcing a close collaboration between the two organizations as they expand digital solutions for acoustic liquid handling workflows.
