Product news

Tecan, a leading player in the growing life sciences industry, will be demonstrating its products for genomics, proteomics, drug discovery and clinical diagnostic applications at IBC’s Drug Discovery Technology® & Development 2006 World Congress exhibition in Boston, Massachusetts, from 8-10 August 2006, at booths 644 and 743 in the World Trade Center Boston and the Seaport Hotel.

Visitors to the show will have the opportunity to see Tecan’s Freedom EVO® 200 automated liquid handling workstation, demonstrating yet again the evolutionary concept of the Freedom EVO series. There will also be the chance to see REMP’s latest development, the Small Size Store™ (SSS), and the REMP Tube Technology™ Consumables, which can be combined with Tecan’s liquid handling workstations for fully automated sample storage and retrieval, for any sized laboratory.

Representing Tecan’s broad portfolio of incubation and detection systems will be Tecan’s Infinite™ 200 series of flexible, upgradeable microplate readers, the GENios Pro™ high performance injector reader, and the monochromator-based Safire2™ microplate detection system.

MicroplatesMicroplates are multi-well plates used to increase the throughput of biological investigations. The number of wells microplates contain can range from 6 to 3243 wells, with the 96-well format being the most commonly used. Microplates can come tailored for a range of applications including cell culture, PCR, filtration, storage, non-binding surface, protein crystallization, as well as pre-coated, deep well and normal Standard microplates. Additionally, options for microplate colors include clear , black, white or black with clear bottom and white with clear bottom for absorbance microplate reader applications. Find the best microplates for your lab in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Labware and Lab SuppliesLabware and lab supplies include various forms of glassware, plasticware, reagents and personal protective equipment (PPE) and are used across all scientific laboratories, enabling daily tasks to be performed. Explore a range of flasks and beakers, petri dishes, carboys and storage bottles. Labware such as condensers, desiccators and burettes are also available for more specific tasks.

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.

Biopharmaceuticals may be produced from cell lines, plants, or microbial cells. Important considerations of biopharmaceutical use include application, cost, production process and purification.
