Fast and scalable multi-channel pipetting

Two scalable solutions deliver significant time saving through true parallel processing and support fixed as well as disposable tips within a broad pipetting range

Tecan has introduced two new integrated multi-channel pipetting platforms for liquid handling applications: Freedom Evo96R and Evo384R.

Tecan's new Freedom Evo multi-channel solutions bring rapid sample dispensing and microplate processing to many key procedures in genomics, proteomics and drug discovery such as sample preparation, compound management or high-content screening.

With its 96-channel head, Freedom Evo6R is described as the pipetting platform of choice for medium to high throughput pipetting in the range of 1ul to 200ul.

Its brother, the Freedom Evo384R multi-channel pipetting platform, is suitable for high precision volume dispensing into 384-well plates and is ideal for medium-to-high throughput applications that demand a broad pipetting range reaching submicrolitre volumes (200nl - 50ul).

The unique wash system minimises the risk of cross-contamination and removes the need for expensive disposable tips normally associated with this level of performance.

"Tecan's new Freedom Evo multi-channel solutions offer significant time savings by allowing essential tasks, such as pipetting, head washing and tip exchange to be performed in parallel with robotic arm movement, tip loading, plate handling, detection, or any other scheduled process step", comments Christoph Kaufmann, product group manager liquid handling, at Tecan.

"The new platforms are smarter, faster and simpler.

"They represent 20 years of Tecan's experience in lab automation and liquid handling systems, delivering the best possible value to our customers".

Both new platforms are controlled by Tecan's Freedom Evoware software.
