Freedom EVO 150 base unit

• Our core liquid handling and robotics workstation for small, busy laboratories or medium to high throughput research and diagnostic laboratories.The larger footprint significantly increases the integration area for devices, enabling a broad range of automated processes.
• 45 grids of worktable space
• Up to three arms can be mounted

Choice of Arms:

• Air LiHa
• Convenient Air LiHa Arm
• This innovative air displacement arm provides accurate and reliable pipetting without the need for system liquids, providing greater convenience and lower maintenance requirements for applications using disposable tips.
• Available with four or eight pipetting channels, it offers a broad volume range from 0.5 to 1,000 µl per channel, with non-contact dispensing down to 0.5 μl.
• Liquid LiHa
• Precision Liquid LiHa Arm
• The Liquid LiHa is offered with disposable or fixed tips. Fast wash pumps ensure total system cleanliness through rapid washing of fixed tips from behind to minimize sample carry-over.
• All LiHa arms offer variable Y-spacing, enabling sample transfers to and from a variety of labware types.
• MultiChannel Arm MCA 96
• True parallel processing
• Simultaneous pipetting of 96 channels provides timely addition of liquids directly into microplates.
• Robotic arms
• The robotic arms transport microplates, tubes and other labware quickly and efficiently between worktable, peripheral devices and labware storage enabling longer assay runs and walk-away time.

Choice of Accessories:

• Te-Shake
• Highly effective orbital microplate shaker with heating option
• Tecan's Te-Shake handles microplates, deep-well plates and PCR tubes, with the added option of sample heating up to 80° C.
• Process scale-up can be realized by parallel use of multiple Te-Shake options on one single workstation.
• With its dynamic shaking range, configurable orbit/amplitude and variable rotating direction, Te-Shake allows easy optimization of extended mixing protocols.
• Te-VacS

1. Automated solution for vacuum solid phase extraction
2. The Te-VacS is a complete automation option for cartridge-based filtration and solid phase extraction (SPE).
3. The system can be assembled by the RoMa Arm for fully automated operations, and is ideally suited to DNA/RNA extraction and compound purification.
4. Different modes of smooth pressure regulation allows safe sample extractions without contamination.

• MIO

1. Powerful temperature control
2. Temperature control is crucial for many molecular biology and ADMET applications, both on and off the worktable.
3. Tecans MIO – monitored incubation option – (RT +5 to 60 °C) provides incubation for four or six microplates on the workdeck, with or without shaking, and is ideally suited to ELISA and cell-based assay applications.

• Te-Stack

1. Plate and tip stacking option
2. The Te-Stack module gives laboratories an efficient and affordable way to automate the storage, retrieval and delivery of microplates and disposable tips, for unprecedented process throughput in a wide range of genomics, proteomics, and drug discovery applications.

• Carousel

1. Random access for up to 280 microplates
2. This is a fast access storage system, which gives users increased walkaway time and is ideal for high throughput applications in genomics, drug discovery and proteomics.
3. The Carousel provides unmatched speed for random access to 280 microplates, with an average access time of just 12 seconds per plate.
4. One unit can efficiently handle microplates, half-height plates and deep-well plates.

• PosID

1. Positive Identification System
2. PosID provides automatic barcode reading for labware and carriers at any position on the worktable.
3. Carriers and labware can be automatically identified before or during processing, confirming the identity of samples, reagents and assay vessels.
