Tecan CNS works with Fluent, Spark and Freedom EVO systems, giving users the freedom to work longer and further away from their instrument. Available for Apple and Android mobile devices, it allows remote monitoring of instrument status, alerting the user if manual interactions are required.
Remote monitoring increases productivity by allowing laboratory staff to perform other tasks, confident that they will be informed if the system requires attention. This is particularly useful if the instrument is in another room or building, or difficult to access, such as in a cold store.
CNS also offers connectivity with IFTTT, allowing laboratory staff to use changes in instrument status to trigger an ever-growing variety of internet services, such as:
- Change the color of an internet-enabled light in the office area when an instrument requires user intervention
- Add a line to a spreadsheet in a cloud when a run completes
- Broadcast a message on a messaging app when all plates have been read, and the instrument now free for another user
- This innovative connectivity option allows laboratories to take advantage of the ever-growing Internet of Things, creating a smart laboratory that uses the power of the internet to enhance the laboratory workflow."
The future of Alzheimer's biomarker testing
This video explores the latest advances in detecting central nervous system (CNS) biomarkers in blood—a critical step forward in understanding neurological diseases through research. The presentation begins by addressing the core challenges of measuring CNS biomarkers in blood, including their low concentrations and the influence of peripheral sources. It also highlights the role of blood-brain barrier dysfunction in allowing CNS proteins to enter the bloodstream, and discusses both the limitations and benefits of using blood as a testing matrix. The use of immunoprecipitation is presented as a powerful method to enhance the detection of these biomarkers, supported by recent study data and findings.
The discussion then turns to brain-derived tau (BD-Tau), a major breakthrough in blood-based testing for Alzheimer’s disease.
Viewers will gain insight into the biology of BD-Tau, how it differs from other tau isoforms, and why it offers greater specificity for Alzheimer’s pathology. Data from recent studies are shared to demonstrate the potential of BD-Tau in advancing biomarker research.
Finally, the video introduces Tecan’s innovative solutions that are helping researchers advance their CNS studies. From sensitive detection to automated workflows, Tecan’s technologies are designed to keep your research at the forefront of biomarker science.
