Simplicis Partners with Beckman Coulter in Innovative Digital Solutions
Indianapolis, Feb. 10, 2026 – Simplicis has officially announced its partnership role as the launch collaborator for the Beckman Coulter Life Sciences Echo Ready Digital Solutions Program. This partnership introduces the Ledger™ Echo Ready Platform, set to transform workflows in drug discovery, biotherapeutics, and synthetic biology using echo acoustic liquid handling technology.
Echo acoustic liquid handling is synonymous with excellence in contactless liquid dispensing. This methodology has become crucial for achieving advanced workflows across various scientific fields, among them early-stage drug discovery and the emerging domains of biotherapeutics engineering and synthetic biology. Its precision enables comprehensive workflows and miniaturization, ensuring the generation of high-quality assay-ready plates while significantly reducing contamination risks that are often prevalent in traditional liquid handling methods.
The Echo Ready partnership initiative is designed to enhance value for Beckman Coulter Life Sciences’ clientele and collaborators. It offers ready-to-deploy kits and chemistries that are dispensed directly from Echo Qualified source labware. Furthermore, it includes digital solutions that seamlessly interface with Echo instruments, optimizing the handling of large datasets and mitigating the risks typically associated with manual data management. This advancement is crucial for ensuring the reproducibility of scientific research.
Simplicis addresses these challenges with a wealth of experience in acoustic dispensing workflows, having launched the Ledger™ Acoustic in 2011. Over the years, Simplicis has cultivated an intricate integration that works in concert with Echo instruments and Access Workstations, allowing it to adeptly handle complex experimental designs involving pooling, mixtures, and dynamic curve generation. With over 15 years in this specialization, Simplicis offers a tailored data and workflow management platform optimized for scientific experimentation.
The Ledger™ Echo Ready Platform is an evolution of the original Ledger™ Acoustic, broadening accessibility to a wider range of users and ensuring high-level data management across diverse Echo instrument models. Validated in over 300 different workflows, the platform's data integrity is sample-agnostic. The complete digital chain of custody ensures that all acoustic operations maintain a comprehensive audit trail, which is vital for compliant and efficient laboratory operations.
The Ledger™ Echo Ready Platform operates as a comprehensive LIMS-in-a-box solution tailored specifically for Echo users. This commercially applicable platform grants Echo customers worldwide easy access to ready-to-execute workflows.
Both Simplicis and Beckman Coulter Life Sciences operate out of Indianapolis, IN, further establishing the region as a hub for life sciences innovation. For more information on the Ledger™ Echo Ready Platform or the Echo Ready Digital Solutions Program, interested parties can reach out to:
