Simplify Your Mass Spectrometry Sample Preparation with Tecan
20 Feb 2014
Industry news
Visit Tecan on booth #3504/3604 at this year’s Pittcon conference and exhibition to learn how to unlock the potential of your mass spectrometry (MS) laboratory. Returning to Chicago for 2014, this annual event runs from the 2nd to the 6th of March, and will give delegates the chance to learn about the latest innovations in laboratory science, including a broad range of laboratory automation solutions from Tecan.
Recent advances in MS instrumentation have led to an increasing number of laboratories choosing this technology for a wide range of applications. However, sample preparation techniques have not enjoyed the same rate of development, causing processing bottlenecks and reducing overall productivity. Automation of routine sample preparation can help to address these problems and, with a broad base of MS customers in drug discovery, clinical, toxicological, food and environmental laboratories, Tecan is perfectly placed to deliver innovative automated sample preparation solutions for virtually any application.
From solid phase and liquid-liquid extraction to protein precipitation and straightforward ‘dilute and shoot’ methods, Tecan provides seamless automation of routine sample preparation techniques. The Company’s broad portfolio ranges from consumable devices – such as the recently launched AC Extraction Plate™ – to fully automated Freedom EVO® workstations, ensuring an extensive range of systems and modules to perfectly fit your laboratory workflow and throughput. And with user-oriented software features – such as the TouchTools™ graphical interface, advanced process security and sample tracking options – Tecan is committed to helping MS customers maximize their laboratory output.

AC Extraction Plate™
TecanThe Tecan AC Extraction Plate* with TICE™ (Tecan Immobilized Coating Extraction) technology revolutionizes your sample preparation routine. The AC Extraction Plate is a 96-well, deep-well microplate, with each well having a proprietary TICE™ coating. TICE is a material with distinct absorptive properties, and this coating efficiently extracts specific small molecule analytes from aqueous solutions, releasing them when in contact with a suitable organic solvent. A simple pipette and shake sequence, with no filtration, centrifugation or solvent evaporation, is all that is required. The AC Extraction Plate is easily integrated into automated processes, making it a perfect match with Tecan’s Freedom EVO® liquid handling platform. AC Extraction Plate™ Features: Cost-effective – Simple pipette and shake workflow, without labor intensive centrifugation, filtration and solvent evaporation steps. Convenient and fast – Just unpack and start, no conditioning or other preparations needed. Highly reproducible – Pipette and shake routines are easily standardized and automated on a liquid handling platform, eliminating random errors and increasing consistency of results. * For research use only – not for clinical diagnostic applications
