Tecan´s Automated Liquid Handling Workstations from Tecan

Description

Building on over 20 years of experience in providing versatile liquid handling platforms for the Life Sciences, the Freedom EVO platform delivers even more flexibility and possibilities for expansion according to future needs.'The Freedom EVO series offers versatile liquid handling platforms and flexible robotic workstations to successfully automate a wide variety of life science applications. The Freedom EVO platform comes in four different base sizes (75, 100, 150 and 200 cm), giving all laboratory personnel access to a platform that will advance with their application needs.

Each platform can be combined with a wide choice of robotic arms, liquid handling tools and application options powered by straightforward, intuitive software, (Freedom EVOware®) to meet individual needs.

Highlights of the Freedom EVO portfolio include:
  • Unique parallel processing by up to three liquid handling & robotic arm options
  • Choice of one or two high precision liquid handling arms that can each be equipped with one, two, four or eight washable or disposable pipetting tips
  • 96- or 384- multi-channel pipetting head options
  • Freely configurable worktable that may include separation and detection devices, shakers and incubators in addition to standard labware carriers and is easily reconfigured for multiple applications or different users
  • Fully automated, high security source and destination barcode identification via Tecan’s PosID™ option and standalone barcode readers
  • Investment protection through field upgradability via additional options or, capacity extension via extensive storage options
  • .

    With Freedom EVO you choose the freedom to evolve.
