Product news

Tecan, one of the world’s leading players in laboratory automation in the growing life sciences industry, will be demonstrating a range of its latest products for genomics, proteomics, drug discovery and clinical diagnostic applications at the LabAutomation 2009 Exhibition in Palm Springs, California, on January 25-27, 2009, at booth # 205.

Visitors will be able to witness four Freedom EVO® liquid handling platforms at the booth, differently configured to demonstrate their flexibility to suit various applications. The workstations will feature the latest version of the Freedom EVOware®, the intuitive, easy-to-use software that has been designed to maximize the performance of the Freedom EVO series of workstations. Integrated with robotic manipulator and liquid handling arms, 8 Plus 1 Access™ pipetting arm, 384 MultiChannel Arm™, and modules for extraction and incubation, these systems demonstrate yet again the evolutionary concept of the Freedom EVO series. Also demonstrated on the stand will be REMP’s Small Size Store™ (SSS), combined with one of the Freedom EVO liquid handling workstations to create a fully automated sample storage and retrieval system, suitable for any sized laboratory.

As the newest representative of Tecan’s broad portfolio of detection systems, you will see the Infinite™ M1000 microplate reader and the HydroFlex™ 3-in-1 microplate washer. A full selection of Tecan Cavro® OEM components, including the new Cavro Omni Robot and Cavro Centris Pump, will also be displayed at the Tecan booth.

Microplate Readers / DetectorsMicroplate readers are used to automate the detection and analysis of labeled or label-free components in microplates during assays or live-cell monitoring. 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. Find the best microplate readers in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Sample ManagementSample management systems include sample storage devices such as freezers and plate storers, sample environment enclosures and sample organization, retrieval and sorter systems. Useful system features include high-throughput, automation, robotic arms, automated liquid handling and associated database systems. Accessories in sample management include barcode scanners, heat sealers and tubes.Cell-Based AssaysCell-based assays are used to monitor the presence, quantity and activities of a desired cellular analyte including drug molecules or biomarkers. This can reveal information on cell health (apoptosis, cytotoxicity, viability and proliferation assays), cell metabolism, cell migration and cell signaling mechanisms. Find the best cell-based assay products, kits and equipment with our peer reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receiving pricing direct from manufacturers.Robotic WorkstationsRobotic workstations are automated platforms enabling the user to perform high-throughput, multi-application processes, from sample preparation tasks such as PCR set-up, DNA purification and NGS library preparation, to integrated sample prep and analysis workstations. Automation makes processes consistent, fast, precise and fully walk-away. Find the best robotic workstations in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.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.
