Good system and good support from Tecan to resolve any issues
Application Area: Downstream Processing
"The set up we have has good reproducibility, the equipment works well. There is a design fault with the chromatography column setup which Tecan are aware of, currently under service package this is resolved fairly quickly just annoying. Plates operate well but set up of centrifuge and deck takes time for chromatography screening. Overall once you have invested the time the results can be reliable and fast."

Easy to use, highly reproducible data
Application Area:Early Drug Discovery compound integrity studies
"Easy to use with high degree of repeatability in data. Limited exposure to date, but initial results are promising."

Good results, workhorse of our team
Application Area:Resin screening, product prep
"The setup is slightly complicated, we needed to work on the shuttle quite a bit. The programming was easy, but there are some hardware challenges using the Robocolumns. The LiHa tips get gripped into the columns and sometimes LiHa takes the whole column to the wash station! Maybe an additional plate cover would help."

Very solid workstation, works well for us, configurable and overall easy to program.
Application Area:Biomarker Assays
"Software is much better than past systems I used. easy to program and lots of options for lab ware and custom configuration for in house lab ware. overall very nice pipetting station with options for span 8 pipetting as well as 96 well pipetting. we integrated multiple instruments on the system and once optimized for our configuration it works well. programs can be easily exported to other system with same configuration saving time setting up same method on several systems."

Save time and material, an innovative technology.
Application Area:Chromatography media and condition screen
"Using 0.6 ml Pre-packed (ATOLL) RoboColumn, chromatography process can be developed in a short time frame, the result obtained from Tecan-RoboColumn can be easily scaled up to larger scale."

Great tool to aid in the rapid process development of protein therapeutics.
Application Area:Downstream Process Development
"Use of Te-chrom to aid in process development reduces material consumption and increases the process knowledge in shorter period of time. Additionally, the use of the vacuum manifold and centrifuge is employed for rapid purification in batch format. These include resin and buffer screening, protein solubility mapping and the purification of Upstream samples to support cell culture process development."

A valuable instrument for our purification development work.
Application Area:Protein purification
"We have a Tecan EVO for a few years. At the beginning, it worked fine. In the recent one to two years, the T-shuttle starts giving us problems multiple times (it suddenly didn't move). The engineer came to repair it but the same problem occurred again afterwards which became annoying. I hope the new generation of T shuttle would be more robust."
Repligen’s OPUS® RoboColumns® are supplied prepacked with any commercially available or custom resin. This system represents a powerful tool for process development – such as bioreactor monitoring, condition screening, sample purification and other chromatography applications – allowing validation of chromatographic conditions without the need for sophisticated LC systems. Simultaneous, parallel processing of up to eight columns increases throughput, with collection of multiple fractions for the generation of chromatograms. The unique Te-Chrom® Wizard enables easy set-up of the whole chromatography process – from column equilibration, sample loading, washing and column regeneration – in the Freedom EVOware® software.
