Tecan Freedom EVO Liquid Handler Configuration

When deciding on a liquid handler it is important that you 
know the configuration that will suit your needs.

 

 

What assays will I run?

Knowing the assays that you wish to automate and the requirements each will include is important. The reason is you will need to know what labware will need to be used. Will it be tubes, microplates, PCR plates, or reagents?  Also, will they need shaking, heating/cooling, magnetic or vacuum separation, and so on?

Throughput now and beyond.

For each assay, we will want to know your intended output and future output, if possible. Each system comes in multiple sizes and can handle on deck different amounts of plates, reagents, and supporting devices.

When making an investment, you will need to know that you have the coverage to fit your budget in case of a failure.

What assays will I run?

Most use cases will require Span channels.

Span channels provide versatile functionality, transferring liquids from tubes, reagent reservoirs, or other wall plates into well plates, making them a core feature of liquid handlers. They are available in configurations ranging from 2 to 16 channels, with 8 channels being the most common, and can utilize either Air or Liquid LiHA technology to suit various applications.

Liquid LiHa

  • Can Use Fixed Tips: Due to washing requirements, Liquid LiHA is required for fixed tips, allowing for saving on disposable tips and reliable septa piercing. Additionally, fixed tips allow for reaching the bottom of longer tubes and other deep labware.

  • Positive Displacement: The liquid system utilizes a solid column of liquid and can generate positive pressure that can be used for Protein purification and parallel chromatography when paired with complimentary accessories such as RoboColumns.

  • Low Volume Advantage: Small volumes below 10µL can have better CVs by up to 0.5%

 

 

Air LiHA

  • No Cross Contamination: With disposable tips and the capability to free dispense down to 0.5µL, cross-contamination is a non-issue.

  • Low Maintenance: By not having the added tubing and related hardware for a liquid system, the maintenance costs are lower when using an Air system.

  • Excellent CVs Over Larger Range: with the ability to dispense up to 1000µL, the Air LiHA maintains lower CVs with more versatility.

 

 

 

Deckware Manipulation for More Productivity

Robotic arms like the RoMa and PosID enhance system versatility by transferring deckware between peripherals, such as on-deck shakers and plate readers, automating sample tracking and improving overall efficiency and functionality.

Robotic Manipulator (RoMa) Arm

The RoMa arm swiftly transfers microplates and other labware between the worktable, peripheral devices, and storage areas, optimizing workflow efficiency and enabling seamless integration with automated processes for extended assay runs and increased productivity.

 

 

PosID Automatic Barcode Reader

Streamline labware identification with PosID. The system performs automatic barcode reading at any position on the worktable, allowing carriers and labware to be identified in real-time and ensuring sample and reagent traceability throughout processing.

 

 

 

Extended Robotic Manipulator (RoMa) Arm

The extended-range RoMa arm provides access below the worktable, facilitating the integration of devices like centrifuges and expanding options for additional storage and incubation solutions.

 

 

    

Simultaneous Pipetting of 96 channels and Parallel Processing

The MCA96 head allows for efficient high-throughput pipetting, handling all 96 wells of a plate simultaneously with precision and speed, making it ideal for tasks like plate replication, reagent distribution, and assay setup in high-volume workflows.

Pipette with 96, 12, or 8 tips as needed.

 

The MCA 96 head offers flexibility by functioning as an 8- or 12-channel pipette, selectively using a single row or column of disposable tips. This adaptability is ideal for tasks like pipetting standards, controls, or performing serial dilutions.

 

 

 

Reduce costs with washable tip compatibility.

 

The MCA 96 can seamlessly switch between disposable and washable tips during a run. Opting for washable fixed tips for routine tasks like handling reagents and buffers minimizes consumable usage and lowers costs.
