Tecan has collaborated with the Translational Genomics Research Institute in Phoenix, Arizona, and the Biodesign Institute at Arizona State University on an automated sample preparation system.
The system is based on Tecan's Freedom Evo 200 liquid-handling platform and has been developed for proteomic biomarker discovery and validation.
The platform can prepare nearly 1,000 samples in less than 24 hours in the Stable Isotope Standards with Capture by Anti-Peptide Antibody (SISCAPA) workflow, from receiving samples in cryovials to eluting selected peptides into 96-well plates ready for analysis by mass spectrometry.
