Technical brochure describes range of systems, modules and protocols utilising the latest technologies for automated nucleic acid and PCR or sequencing reaction preparation
Tecan Europe has announced the availability of a technical brochure describing its wide range of systems, modules and protocols utilising the latest technologies for automated nucleic acid and PCR or sequencing reaction preparation.
The isolation, purification amplification and analysis of nucleic acids (DNA or RNA) are key steps in using molecular biology techniques for the study of gene function or genotype.
Compatible with all major nucleic acid processing techniques from commercial kits to traditional recipes, Tecan's range of liquid handling and robotic systems allows you to choose the system that best fits your specific application needs and throughput.
Tecan is able to automate extraction protocols using different separation technologies, such as solid phase extraction, magnetic bead separation and centrifugation.
These technologies can be automated in any desired throughput based on Tecan's portfolio of liquid handling systems.
Tecan offers a host of proven systems and protocols to ontrol important issues such as sample integrity and contamination.
To support all steps involved in an automatic nucleic acid sample preparation process and cope with differing requirements in sample throughput, Tecan offers a full range of liquid handling systems.
Plate replication and reformatting is made especially easy with the Temo multi-pipetting module, where reactions with 96 or 384 channels can be built simultaneously.
Freedom Evoware is said to set new standards in software flexibility and ease-of-use for all levels of users in life science research laboratories.
The intuitive graphical user interface sets new standards in user friendliness. Worktable definition is simplified through drag and drop robotic moves, and protocol creation even for complex tasks such as DNA normalisation is accelerated through application templates.
3D simulaion allows the user to see the process before running it, thus saving valuable time optimising protocols.
For the quantification of nucleic acid samples, Tecan offers several microplate-based detection systems.
The affordable Genios Pro allows for quick 280nm/260nm measurements in UV absorbance or, for higher sensitivity and specificity fluorescence based quantification of ssDNA, dsDNA, and RNA species.
For the ultimate in flexibility and assay optimisation, the Safire2 monochromator-based microplate reader affords multi-detection in a totally filter-free environment.
The Ultra Evolution microplate reader represents high performance, multi-mode detection for conducting high throughput SNP scoring and other genomics applications.
The systems that comprise Tecan's nucleic acid sample preparation suite are capable of performing almost any molecular biology procedure and providing unparalleled reliability, flexibility and quality of results.
