Product news

Tecan, a world leader in laboratory automation, is exhibiting the latest innovations in liquid handling and detection at the SLAS2013 Conference and Exhibition in Orlando, Florida, from the 12th to the 16th of January. Tecan innovation is everywhere – from state-of-the-art pharmaceutical development facilities to the smallest academic laboratories – so visit Tecan at booth #701 to see how the Company’s comprehensive range of laboratory automation, detection and OEM liquid handling solutions could benefit your laboratory.

This year’s exhibition will give delegates the opportunity to learn about the benefits of Tecan’s user-oriented approach to instrument design, taking advantage of many years of expertise and industry experience to create solutions which can help you to improve productivity and create simpler, more efficient laboratory workflows. The latest generation of Tecan’s TouchTools™ touchscreen user interface is a perfect example of this approach, making programming and operating the Company’s powerful Freedom EVO® workstations easier than ever before. By introducing a fully customizable user interface, TouchTools 3.0 offers greater flexibility for instrument programmers and a structured, user­friendly environment for operators. And to ensure laboratory productivity stays at optimal levels, the new Tecan Academy will soon be offering on demand, web-based training to get new users up to speed faster and ensure more consistent, error-free operation of Tecan hardware and software.

SLAS2013 will also showcase Tecan’s innovative Infinite® 200 PRO multimode reader with patent pending Gas Control Module (GCM™). This flexible instrument is a breakthrough for cell-­based experiments, allowing simultaneous control of atmospheric O2 and CO2 levels within the reader’s measurement chamber for the first time. Combined with continuous shaking and heating functions, this makes the Infinite 200 PRO the first hybrid incubator/reader on the market, offering a truly comprehensive solution for cell-based studies.

In addition to highlighting these latest developments, Tecan will be supporting ongoing educational programs through participation in various presentations and interactive forums, as well as hosting several tutorials.

Join Tecan at booth #701 to learn more about the latest systems and technologies on offer.

Microplate Readers / DetectorsMicroplate readers are used to automate the detection and analysis of labeled or label-free components in microplates during assays or live-cell monitoring. Microplate readers are generally distinguished by their mode of detection. Types include absorbance, luminescence, fluorescence intensity, fluorescence polarization, TRF / FRET and multimode microplate readers. Microplate readers deliver a high throughput of samples by reading multiple wells simultaneously, with the 96-well format the most commonly used. As a result, microplate readers are often used in the drug discovery, bioassays, research and pharmaceutical industries for screening applications. Microplate loading can also be automated, with robotic microplate stackers to increase throughput. Find the best microplate readers in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Assay AssemblyAssay Assembly is technique used in drug discovery to develop assays to test the cytotoxicity, genotoxicity, or other activities of a compound on a cell. Assay assembly requires chip assembly, a delivery system and a detection and analysis method. Beneficial features of assay kits or automated systems include high-throughput, high speed and sensitivity and low signal to noise ratio.Protein PurificationProtein purification is a vital step in drug discovery, therapeutics, biotech and life science research. The purification process typically involves subcellular or membrane protein extraction with cell lysis kits, separation of proteins from cell debris by filtration or spin columns, and the isolation of proteins of interest from other proteins and impurities with affinity purification (including fusion protein tags and antibody binding proteins A, G and L), immunoprecipitation or chromatographic methods, such as ion exchange, size exclusion and immobilized metal affinity chromatography. All purification methods come in multiple formats for your laboratory needs, including agarose or magnetic beads, resins, columns and filter plates. Find the best protein purification equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Robotic WorkstationsRobotic workstations are automated platforms enabling the user to perform high-throughput, multi-application processes, from sample preparation tasks such as PCR set-up, DNA purification and NGS library preparation, to integrated sample prep and analysis workstations. Automation makes processes consistent, fast, precise and fully walk-away. Find the best robotic workstations in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Automated Liquid HandlingAutomated liquid handling equipment is used to mix, dilute and dispense allotted volumes of liquid into microplates and other vessels automatically. The robotic, liquid handling arms can dispense from single channel to 3456 multichannel as well as operate nanoliter dispensing, enabling high throughput of samples. Find the best automated liquid handlers in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.SLASThe Society for Laboratory Automation and Screening (SLAS) is an organization focused on laboratory automation, high-throughput screening, and biotechnology innovation. SLAS promotes scientific advancements through conferences, publications, and industry collaborations. Liquid Handling WorkstationLiquid handling workstations automate the process of sample preparation, improving accuracy and efficiency. These systems are essential for high-throughput applications in biological, chemical, and pharmaceutical research, reducing human error and increasing reproducibility. Workstations come equipped with robotic arms, pipetting tools, and other accessories to streamline lab workflows.
