Tecan will be demonstrating its full range of products for genomics, proteomics, drug discovery and clinical diagnostic applications at Biotechnica 2005, at BiotechForum, and at Scanlab
Visitors will have the opportunity to see a unique new feature on Tecan's Freedom Evo series of automated workstations that allows two liquid handling (LiHa) arms to act completely independently, offering unrivalled processing speed and flexibility for a variety of applications, including hit picking and serial dilutions.
Each arm of eight variable-spacing pipetting tips can be adapted to handle high volumes, for example of cell culture media, as well as low volumes of precious reagents or samples.
The new Infinite 200 series of flexible, upgradeable microplate readers will be on display with a choice of monochromator or filter system and combining reagent dispensing with several detection modes.
The unique modular design means the Infinite 200 is able read fluorescence assays from the top and bottom as well as luminescence or absorbance assays in 6 to 384-well microplates, PCR plates and cuvettes.
Also on show will be a range of Tecan Freedom Evo liquid handling workstations, the HS 400 Pro fully automated hybridisation station, the high sensitivity LS Reloaded scanner and the flexible Safire2 microplate reader.
