Why is it important?

Acoustic liquid handling uses sound to move liquids without any physical contact. This changes many laboratory processes. Precision and accuracy are markedly improved. Results are more biologically meaningful. Experiments that were previously impractical become simple and inexpensive. Applications range from drug discovery, sub-microliter genotyping, synthetic biology, protein crystallography, protein science, mass spectrometer interfaces, personalized medicine, and more.
