The Tecan Freedom EVO Series offers versatile liquid handling platforms and flexible robotic workstations serving a full range of life science applications.
Building on over 20 years of Tecan experience, the Freedom EVO platform delivers even more flexibility and possibilities for expansion according to future needs. Powered by a new intuitive software, Freedom EVOware®, each Freedom EVO system is equipped to successfully automate genomic, proteomic, drug discovery, and other life science applications.
Tecan offers the Freedom EVO platform in four different base sizes (75, 100, 150 and 200 cm). Each platform can be combined with a wide choice of robotic arms, liquid handling tools and application options powered by a straightforward software to meet individual needs, so now all laboratory personnel have access to a platform that will advance with their application needs.
Highlights of the Tecan Freedom EVO portfolio include:
• Unique parallel processing by up to three liquid handling & robotic arm options
• Choice of one or two high precision liquid handling arms that can each be equipped with one, two, four or eight washable or disposable pipetting tips
96- or 384- multi-channel pipetting head options
• Freely configurable worktable that may include separation and detection devices, shakers and incubators in addition to standard labware carriers and is easily reconfigured for multiple applications or different users
• Fully automated, high security source and destination barcode identification via Tecan’s PosID™ option and standalone barcode readers
• Investment protection through field upgradability via additional options or, capacity extension via extensive storage options
The Tecan Freedom EVO is an open automation platform product for general laboratory use. It is intended for routine laboratory tasks, such as general purpose pipetting and general purpose liquid handling and robotic processes.

"I have worked with Tecan liquid handlers for over 15 years and have found them to be the most reliable liquid handlers on the market. The EVOware software is very user friendly and intuitive to learn and quickly develop new protocols for business critical operations." |

"It is easy to use and produces reproducible results. I have had a positive experience after purchase and helpful tech support." |
| Vicky Vydra Status: See all reviews Member since 2007 Organization: Bristol-Myers Squibb Read more » | RATING: 3.3
"It’s a reliable system and has been in use for several years in our lab. It integrates with Atoll plate based columns which is critical for our application. The Freedom Evo software is easy for our end-users to develop new protocols on the system." |
| Cindy Allan Status: See all reviews Member since 2013 Organization: NIH/MRIGlobal Read more » | RATING: 4.3
"I have been using the Tecan Freedom Evo System as my liquid handling instrument for viral infectious load assays, cell staining, antibody neutralization assays, and nucleaic acid purification for 3 years now. The system is easy to use. Tecan does a great job in after purchase service and support, helping with maintenance and scripting. I would recommend this system because it is very versatile and can be setup for multiple uses rather than a single process approach." |
Eric Struminger Status: See all reviews Member since 2013 Organization: Transnetyx, Inc Read more » | RATING: 4.0
"The Freedom EVO is useful as an automation tool in genotyping. We use it for combining samples from one plate to another. Using both arms has been an issue in the past, as they cannot come together to a centralized plate; however the machine as a whole is very useful." |
| Jim Federico Status: See all reviews Member since 2013 Organization: Pfizer Read more » | RATING: 5.0
"The Tecan Freedom EVO is my automated liquid handler instrument of choice. An extremely robust system by nature, the Tecan is easily recovered from crashes. Parts are cost effective and readily available. The modular nature of the Tecan, span 8, 96/384 channel flexibility along with shakers, hotels and incubators is nothing short of incredible. The GUI is simple and easy to navigate; programming is a snap with many customized features already in place. The integration of the instrument with third party LIMS software is easy. " |
