SCIEX® Echo MS System

Challenge:
SCIEX partnered with SHEPPiD to develop the Echo MS System—a groundbreaking platform built to transform high-throughput mass spectrometry workflows. Leveraging Acoustic Ejection Mass Spectrometry (AEMS), the system combines SCIEX’s industry-leading quantitative detection with ultra-fast, contactless sampling. The challenge was to create an industrial design that matched the innovation behind the technology: a solution that could support large-scale biological screening with unmatched speed, precision, and reliability. SHEPPiD was tasked with designing a system that not only reflected the cutting-edge nature of the platform but also enhanced usability and integration in demanding lab environments.
 
Solution:
SHEPPiD delivered a cutting-edge industrial design for the Echo MS System, aligning it with the evolved SCIEX brand aesthetic we helped define. From initial concept exploration to final design for manufacturing (DFM), we led the development of all external enclosures and user-facing components. The result is a visually striking, highly functional platform that supports the advanced capabilities of Acoustic Ejection Mass Spectrometry while enhancing usability and reinforcing SCIEX’s leadership in high-throughput analytical technology.
 
Outcome:
SHEPPiD successfully executed the Echo MS System project from the ground up—delivering on time and within budget while coordinating seamlessly with SCIEX’s global internal teams and external partners. The final product reflects a cohesive fusion of advanced technology and refined industrial design, reinforcing SCIEX’s position at the forefront of high-throughput mass spectrometry and accelerating adoption in cutting-edge screening laboratories worldwide.
 
Features and Benefits:
  • Automation-Centric Workflow
    Designed specifically to enable full automation of previously manual, repetitive tasks—dramatically increasing speed, accuracy, and throughput.

  • User-Centric Safety Design
    An easily accessible emergency stop button is strategically placed outside the robotic arm’s swing path to ensure user safety at all times.

  • High-Speed Robotic Integration
    The automated pipette tray is loaded and unloaded with precision by robotic systems—delivering ultra-fast, contactless operation with consistent accuracy.

  • Service-Friendly Architecture
    A hinged front panel opens with a single tool for quick access, while each external enclosure is independently removable, streamlining maintenance and reducing downtime.

  • Refined, Futuristic Aesthetic
    The clean, forward-thinking industrial design reflects the next generation of scientific instrumentation—fully aligned with SCIEX’s evolving brand identity and professional appeal.
