Product news

Tecan provides innovative flexible and reliable liquid handling technologies to drug discovery laboratories, bringing improved efficiency and process security to almost any life sciences workflow. Find out more at this year's ELRIG and learn how the Freedom EVO® platform provides you with the tools needed to automate laboratory research and how the MultiChannel Arm 384 offers flexibility and speed for compound management and screening with on-the-fly exchange between a variety of tip formats.

The optional gripper module can be used to move labware. Instant Pipetting is a unique, patent pending module for direct, real-time control of pipetting workstations through an easy-to-use touchscreen, without the user needing any previous knowledge of programming. This allows the user to perform common pipetting operations, like sample distribution, reagent addition and serial dilution in an easy and interactive way. Even without programming skills or a pre-defined script, the user can immediately start pipetting.

MultiChannel Arm 384 (MCA384)

Tecan

Increase efficiency and speed of pipetting processes for higher throughputTecan is offering a new 384-Multi Channel Arm Option (MCA384) for the Freedom EVO® liquid handling workstation, providing higher productivity to automated liquid handling processes in pharmaceutical and biotechnology research applications. The head can be mounted onto Tecan’s Freedom EVO 100, 150 or 200 platforms increasing the efficiency and speed of pipetting processes for higher throughput as well as delivering a greater level of flexibility. The head can rapidly change during a run to a 96-tip format for plate re-formatting or for pipetting into 96-well plates. The head can mount four sets of 96 tips from a box of 384 tips, saving considerable deck space and decreasing the number of tip boxes necessary for a run. It can even mount single rows of 24 or columns of 16 tips, utilizing all the tips in a single box; this feature can be used to pipette controls or conduct in-plate serial dilutions. This flexible and fast option is a great asset for all your pipetting applications. 384-Multi Channel Arm Option highlights are: - Broad volume range: 0.5 to 125 μl - Automatic exchange of disposable and washable fixed tips - Ability to pipette in either 384- or 96-well format or using individual rows or columns of tips - Works in parallel with other arms

Pipettes and DispensersPipettes and dispensers are essential lab equipment used to dispense measured volumes of liquid accurately. Explore a range of manual and electronic pipettes, including single and multichannel, serological and volumetric pipettes, as well as a range of pipette tips. Bottle-top dispensers are also available for simple and fast solvent dispensing. Find the best pipettes & dispensers in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Robotic InstrumentsRobotic instruments can be used for high-throughput automation of many lab processes. Such processes use instruments for assays like cell based assays and ELISA, for sample preparation like shakers, centrifuges and incubators, and for analysis such as sequencing and western blot analyzers. Useful features of robotic instruments include speed, reproducibility, barcode readers, software and automation.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.
