Tecan and Dynal begin magnetic
partnership
Flexibility of liquid handling platforms complements the magnetic bead technology to isolate and concentrate cells, DNA, mRNA, organelles and proteins from the most difficult sources
Life science companies Tecan and Dynal have joined forces, combining Tecan's Freedom Evo automated liquid handling platforms with Dynal Biotech's Dynabeads magnetic bead technology for isolation of any biological starting material, including mRNA, DNA and recombinant proteins The flexibility of the Freedom Evo series of platforms offering a variety of liquid handling and robotic arm options complements the Dynabeads, whose compatibility with a wide variety of molecular tags makes it possible to isolate and concentrate cells, DNA, mRNA, organelles and proteins from the most difficult sources, says the companies

Tecan and Dynal Biotech have jointly developed several application-specific protocols, including the recombinant protein purification procedure, which combines Tecan's Te-MagS magnetic separation technology with Dynabeads' Talon system to isolate histidine affinity-tagged proteins from lysed cells.
The Dynabeads mRNA Direct kit rapidly isolates pure, intact mRNA from lysates of biological tissues using a Freedom Evo platform with a Tecan Te-MO 96-channel pipetting module and robotic manipulator arm.
Dynabeads are also effective with this equipment in the sequencing clean-up system, for consistent, high quality purification of DNA sequencing reactions.
Whatever the application, multiple batches of Dynabead-isolated samples can be processed with Tecan's Freedom Evo platforms without any user intervention, making higher throughput easy to achieve.
