Tecan 

Tecan has reshaped liquid handling and process automation with Fluent, an exceptional instrumentation concept providing a choice of workstation capacities, and robotics, liquid handling and application options to suit the process-specific needs of your laboratory.

Fluent offers new opportunities to laboratories looking for state-of-the-art automation to:

• Increase productivity
• Streamline workflows
• Optimize assay precision and consistency
• Relieve operators from repetitive tasks

The system’s fully modular, open architecture allows each instrument to be individually configured with robotic arms for pipetting and labware movement, helping laboratories to meet throughput, cost saving and productivity targets.

Our innovative liquid handling technologies are flexible and reliable. Their advanced designs will bring improved efficiency and safety to almost any life science laboratory workflow. In addition, we provide numerous standardized and validated packaged solutions for specific applications.

The Freedom EVO series offers four different worktable capacities (75, 100, 150 and 200 cm) each with building-block modularity that brings precision, reliable liquid handling and easy-to-use robotics.

Each of the robotic platforms offers an advanced, proven and reliable liquid handling system for different scales and throughputs. With the choice of various liquid handling and manipulative robotic arms we provide an extendable work area and variable configurations. Freedom EVO workstations can automate a diverse range of applications including primary and secondary screening, cell growth and maintenance, nucleic acid sample preparation, hit picking, library management and sample weighing.
