The next step in liquid handling automation
Automated workstation offers a combination of versatile, modular robotics and software to provide a flexible, upgradeable automation solution
Using these advanced features, the Genios Pro is suitable for many applications in proteomics, genomics, and drug discovery including gene expression studies, luciferase assays, Bret (bioluminescence resonance energy transfer) assays and molecular interaction studies as well as cell-based assays.
Based on a modular concept, the Genios Pro has been designed to deliver both excellent performance in all detection modes and cost-effectiveness to users in both academic and biopharmaceutical research settings.
To further extend the capabilities of the Genios family, Tecan has applied its experience in liquid handling to its family of detection devices.
The result of this synergy is a state-of-the-art injector system that allows simultaneous reagent dispensing and reading.
These unique features enable flash luminescence and flash fluorescence measurements to be easily performed.
In addition, the detection device is fully compatible with the complete range of Tecan robotic platforms and Tecan's new versatile Connect stacker which allows batch processing of up to 50 microplates.
The Genios Pro, which is fully supported by Tecan's XFluor and Magellan software, is said to be the ideal choice for laboratories in academic research facilities, biotechnology enterprises and pharmaceutical companies.
At an excellent price performance ratio, the Genios Pro is the perfect solution for scientists demanding high sensitivity and a wide range of detection possibilities for the most demanding research applications.
