New 384-channel Head

Tecan is launching the Multichannel Arm 384 for its Freedom EVO workstations, offering higher productivity to automated liquid handling processes in pharmaceutical and biotechnology research applications. It can be mounted onto the Freedom EVO 100, 150 or 200 platforms, increasing the efficiency and speed of pipetting processes for better throughput, and delivering a greater level of flexibility. The head features a very broad volume range of 0.5 ?l to 125 ?l, and works with both disposable tips and washable stainless steel tips, which can be automatically interchanged during a run. Alternatively, the head can rapidly mount 96 tips, or just a row of 24 or a column of 16 tips, for pipetting controls or conducting in-plate serial dilutions. An optional gripper can be mounted on the pipetting head to move plates or tip racks, for added functionality.
