Artel is to present a workshop providing guidance on validation and optimisation for the Tecan Freedom Evo liquid-handling platform.
This workshop, which will be held on 31 January during the Labautomation 2011 conference in Palm Springs, will give automation specialists a better understanding of the relationship between liquid-handler equipment configurations and their impact on pipetting accuracy and precision.
Workshop participants will examine accuracy and precision data relating to a variety of equipment configurations gathered using the Artel MVS (Multichannel Verification System).
Attendees will be able to see first-hand data showing how various factors - such as tip type, tip size, syringe volume and tubing size - affect volume transfer performance of Tecan automated liquid handlers.
The workshop, which will be led by Khovananth, will provide tips on how to optimise each channel on a Tecan automated liquid handler to ensure accurate performance tailored to specific assay needs.
Attendees will also get an exclusive look at how Tecan uses the Artel MVS system as part of the Installation Qualification in non-clinical reference laboratories.
Using Artel's proprietary ratiometric photometry technology, which measures light absorption by two specially formulated dyes to verify delivered volume for each dispensing channel of a liquid handler, the MVS provides performance measurements of up to 384 channels in one rapid procedure.
The MVS technology will also be demonstrated at Labautomation2011, on 29 January - 2 February.
