Tecan has launched a new generation of high quality MCA 384 Disposable Tips designed to optimize the performance and reliability of the versatile MultiChannel Arm™ (MCA) 384 pipetting option on Freedom EVO® workstations. The new range of MCA 384 Disposable Tips has been extended to include a 15μl tip size alongside the existing 50μl and 125μl sizes, providing high quality, reliable pipetting across a broad volume range.

All MCA 384 Disposable Tips are now available in Tecan’s enhanced Tecan Pure and Tecan Sterile purity levels, with filtered versions of Tecan Sterile tips also available in all sizes. Tips are precision manufactured to deliver reliable 96- or 384¬channel pipetting, as well as single row or column pipetting, and have a patented design which ensures high accuracy and low CVs even at low volumes, helping to save valuable reagents and reduce maintenance requirements. The new range offers maximum format flexibility, including the use of 1,536-well plates with 15 μl tips, full depth access to 96 deep-well plates with 125 μl tips and use of typical 0.7 ml and 1.4 ml 96 storage tube formats, providing customers with a comprehensive solution to meet their automation needs. In addition, each product is supplied with a Certificate of Conformity (CoC) which ensures full traceability and guarantees that the product meets the stated specifications, helping to meet regulatory and quality documentation requirements.

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

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.
