See Tecan’s broad range of automated laboratory systems at SBS 2008

Tecan, one of the world’s leading players in the growing life sciences industry, will be demonstrating a range of its latest products for genomics, proteomics and drug discovery applications at SBS, booth 1001, 6-10 April in St Louis, Missouri.

Visitors to SBS will be able to see the Infinite^® M1000, Tecan’s new multimode flagship microplate reader with premium quad4 monochromators™, bringing flexibility, sensitivity and speed in one high-end detection system to bridge the gap between research, assay development and screening. Tecan is also launching the Infinite 200 NanoQuant, the first microplate reader to be developed specifically for absorbance applications with low volumes. The Infinite M1000 and Infinite 200 NanoQuant join the existing Infinite series of detection systems.

Visitors will also see more of the REMP Sample Safe, a new, compact and fully automated sample management system for a wide range of biospecimens stored at -80 °C. The technology includes a unique robotic platform operating at -20 °C, where required samples are quickly cherry-picked.

Tecan’s new 384-channel head for the Freedom EVO^® liquid handling workstations will be available, designed to increase the efficiency and speed of pipetting processes for even better throughput and delivering a greater level of flexibility for all your pipetting applications.

There will also be the opportunity to see Tecan’s new generation of liquid handling technology components, the new pump and the new robot. The new pump complements Tecan’s current range of syringe pumps, including the Cavro^® XCalibur and Cavro^® XLP, bringing unbeatable longevity and a broader working volume range from a single syringe size compared to other similar pumps. The innovative new robot is robust, reliable, and easy to install and operate, making it the ideal OEM robotics component choice.
