Automated parallel chromatography for
bioprocesses
Tecan and Atoll announce a combination of their RoboColumn and Freedom Evo platforms to create automated parallel chromatography systems for high throughput bioprocess development
Tecan and Atoll have successfully integrated Atoll's MediaScout 96-array RoboColumn with the Tecan Freedom Evo liquid handling workstation to allow fully automated bioprocess parameter screening and high throughput screening of chromatographic resins This simplifies handling of a large number of samples and testing of chromatographic conditions during development of purification methods

MediaScout RoboColumns deliver the separation performance of regular ready-to-use LC columns with very high reproducibility.
These columns are offered with almost every adsorptive resin available and for multiple sample desalting applications with small pore GPC-materials (eg preconditioning for mass spectrometry).
The freely configurable Freedom Evo workstation provides precise and reliable liquid handling and accommodates a wide range of devices, including a Te-Stack plate stacker module and a robotic manipulator (RoMa) arm to transfer 96-well plates into a plate reader.
Integrating the two technologies entirely removes all manual steps for buffer preparation, sample injection and elution, including detection, allowing 96-array plates to be completely processed in just minutes, depending on the protocol used.
The integration offers a powerful new tool for high throughput sample conditioning and process development users.
Tecan points out that this scientific instrumentation is not for use in human clinical or diagnostic procedures.
