Reliable and efficient.
Application Area:High throughout pinning and liquid handling
"The Tecan Freedom Evo 100 with MCA96 and attached pin tool is fast and reliable. No problems with liquid transfer or operation. However the software is a bit dated and there is a small learning curve."

Great instrument!
Application Area:High content screening
"We have a 384-well pipetting head that we find very robust and reproducible. The software is easy to use and functioning properly apart from some bugs (which is one of the drawbacks, the software doesn't evolve much although some issues are known). The after sales care is very efficient and reactive. The price of the system is coherent within the possibilities of the instrument, the tips remain a little the major cost."

I have always had good customer service and price breaks from Tecan."

"I've been using TECAN robotic liquid handlers since 1998. The Freedom/EVO workstations are a welcome addition and improvement. The software is still not quite as easy to use as I believe it should be, but after a short learning curve anything is possible. The hardware is, as always top rate. I never go to work worrying about the dispensing or aspirating CV's, and in all the years I've worked with TECAN instruments I've never had the misfortune of the instrument breaking down. I would be happy to recommend the EVO line to any of my colleagues."

" We have two Tecan Freedom EVOs and both have been robust and accurate instruments for our work. Our EVO100 is integrated on a larger robotic system and is great for serial dilutions and plate additions of expensive reagents. Our EVO200 is utilized for a wide variety of applications including compound additions, serial dilutions, hit picking, and automated PCR. The software can be daunting at first but provides users with superior control over all aspects of pipetting."

The intuitive Freedom EVOware® user interface optimally combines pipetting, robotics and scheduling of multiple devices in a single package.
Freedom EVO workstations provide unrivalled flexibility, uniquely offering a choice of pipetting technologies – even allowing you to combine air and liquid displacement – on a single workstation. Two-, four- and eight-channel liquid displacement (LiHa) or four-/eight-channel air displacement (Air LiHa) pipetting arms are available, offering a volume range from 0.5 to 5,000 µl or more. For true parallel processing, the MultiChannel Arm 96 offers simultaneous pipetting of 96 channels, providing timely addition of liquids directly into microplates, helping to optimize assay results. The MCA 96 has the flexibility to work with both disposable and washable tips, which can be automatically exchanged during a run. It can also operate as an 8- or 12-channel pipette by picking up a single column or row of disposable tips. To further increase throughput and productivity, a MultiChannel Arm 384 is also available. It offers a very broad volume range – 0.5 to 125 µl in 384-well format or 0.5 to 500 µl in 96-well format – and can use washable and disposable tips interchangeably during a workflow, picking up rows of 12 or 24 tips and columns of 8, 16 or 32 tips if required.
