Tecan Focuses on Sample Preparation at ASMS 2014
1 Jun 2014
Tecan will be offering delegates at this year’s American Society for Mass Spectrometry Conference the chance to learn how the Company’s laboratory automation solutions can accelerate and streamline mass spectrometry (MS) workflows. Visitors to booth #118 will be able to see first-hand how the flexible Freedom EVO® workstation can be used to reduce the need for labor-intensive manual sample preparation in ‘dilute and shoot’, solid phase extraction (SPE), liquid-liquid extraction and positive pressure SPE protocols.
Tecan will also be showcasing its innovative AC Extraction Plate™*, an easy-to-use consumable device that reduces the preparation of small non-polar molecules to a simple ‘pipette and shake’ routine. This eliminates the need for filtration, centrifugation and solvent evaporation steps, helping to simplify and streamline laboratory workflows.
For those wishing to further explore the sample preparation capabilities of the Freedom EVO workstation, Tecan will also be hosting a free breakfast tutorial on Wednesday the 18th of June from 7:00 to 8:15 in Room #336. This interactive session will provide the opportunity to discuss the end-to-end automation capabilities of the system for a wide range of applications, helping to eliminate sample preparation bottlenecks for even the most challenging applications.

AC Extraction Plate™
TecanThe Tecan AC Extraction Plate* with TICE™ (Tecan Immobilized Coating Extraction) technology revolutionizes your sample preparation routine. The AC Extraction Plate is a 96-well, deep-well microplate, with each well having a proprietary TICE™ coating. TICE is a material with distinct absorptive properties, and this coating efficiently extracts specific small molecule analytes from aqueous solutions, releasing them when in contact with a suitable organic solvent. A simple pipette and shake sequence, with no filtration, centrifugation or solvent evaporation, is all that is required. The AC Extraction Plate is easily integrated into automated processes, making it a perfect match with Tecan’s Freedom EVO® liquid handling platform. AC Extraction Plate™ Features: Cost-effective – Simple pipette and shake workflow, without labor intensive centrifugation, filtration and solvent evaporation steps. Convenient and fast – Just unpack and start, no conditioning or other preparations needed. Highly reproducible – Pipette and shake routines are easily standardized and automated on a liquid handling platform, eliminating random errors and increasing consistency of results. * For research use only – not for clinical diagnostic applications
