Simultaneous execution of plate loading and pipetting considerably increases productivity of robotic workstations without increasing system footprint
Tecan UK has announced the availability of Te-MO 3/3, a multi-channel pipetting option for its Genesis, Freedom and Freedom Evo platforms.
Te-MO 3/3 significantly increases the productivity of Tecan robotic workstations without increasing system footprint.
The simultaneous execution of plate loading and pipetting considerably increases throughput of the Genesis, Freedom or Freedom Evo workstation, freeing the multi-channel pipetting arm for more complex pipetting patterns such as hit picking - a perfect combination of speed and flexibility.
The Te-MO 3/3 is ideal for a wide range of applications including assay development, lead optimisation and medium throughput genomics.
As a logical addition to the Te-MO 3/5, the Te-MO 3/3 comes in a smaller format that is specifically adapted to the Genesis, Freedom or Freedom Evo worktable.
The deck of the Te-MO 3/3 offers nine carrier positions (Te-MO 3/5: 15) in three lanes for plates, troughs, wash stations or racks for disposable tips. Through its compact design, the Te-MO 3/3 does not increase the footprint of the whole workstation.
This allows customers to use the productivity advantage of the Te-MO 3/3 in a wide range of settings including those where available lab space may be limited but where the highest possible safety requirements need to be met.
The Genesis, Freedom or Freedom Evo platform may be upgraded by the addition of the Te-MO 3/3 to give a system featuring a pipetting head and robotic manipulator arm that can work independently and in parallel.
Plates can simultaneously be loaded on the system while other plates are being pipetted (multi-tasking).
The Te-MO 3/3 option pipettes 96-, 384- and 1536-well plate formats.
Te-MO 3/3 works with most workstation modules, maximising walk-away time and allowing integration of complete assays from pipetting to detection.
Te-MO 3/3 is controlled by Tecan's popular Gemini software, a user-friendly icon- based program.
With these features Te-MO 3/3 is said to offer a perfect combination of easy setup and medium to high throughput making it a versatile solution for many applications.
