FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE September 11, 2003 Tecan (UK) has announced the availability of issue 2 of its global newsletter for researchers involved or considering using laboratory automation. Focusing on new techniques & tools for automated research … Tecan (UK) has announced the availability of issue 2 of its global newsletter for researchers involved or considering using laboratory automation. Marking the recent launch of the Freedom EVO laboratory workstation the latest issue provides a rare insight into the development of a new state-of-the-art product. Consolidating 20 years of liquid handling and robotic experience in a new and scalable platform Freedom EVO enables the flexible integration of a range of powerful application tools to optimally serve drug screening and ADME applications, nucleic acid sample preparation and protein crystallisation solutions up to powerful workstations for clinical diagnostics. New tools for automated research are presented in the form of customer articles. New visions for genomic research - describes how the collaboration between Tecan and the Max Planck Institute for Experimental Endocrinology (Hannover, Germany) has developed a system that allows automated in-situ hybridisation. The new technique provides ten-fold higher throughputs compared to manual processing and improved reproducibility opening new doors in functional gene analysis. A second paper from the Institute for Genetic and Molecular and Cellular Biology (IGBMC) in Strasbourg (France) describes how their automated protein crystallisation workstation has accelerated solving the 3D structure of nuclear receptor proteins. In addition news is provided on the implementation of a Parallel Artificial Membrane permeation (PAMPA) assay on a Tecan Genesis Workstation as a first line permeability screen for pharmaceutical drugs in early drug discovery and optimisation phases.
