Tecan
Europe has announced the availability of a technical brochure describing
its wide range of systems, modules and protocols utilising the latest
technologies for automated Nucleic Acid and PCR or Sequencing reaction
preparation.
The
isolation, purification amplification and analysis of Nucleic Acids
(DNA or RNA) are key steps in using molecular biology techniques
for the study of gene function or genotype.

Compatible
with all major Nucleic Acid processing techniques from commercial
kits to traditional recipes, Tecan's range of liquid handling and
robotic systems allows you to choose the system that best fits your
specific application needs and throughput. Tecan is able to automate
extraction protocols using different separation technologies, such
as Solid Phase Extraction, Magnetic bead separation and Centrifugation.
These technologies can be automated in any desired throughput based
on Tecan´s portfolio of liquid handling systems. Tecan offers
a host of proven systems and protocols to control important issues
such as sample integrity and contamination. From disposable tips
to customised wash protocols to complete customised enclosures,
Tecan has the right solution to ensure accurate results you can
trust. To support all steps involved in an automatic Nucleic Acid
Sample preparation process and cope with differing requirements
in sample throughput, Tecan offers a full range of liquid handling
systems. Plate replication and reformatting is made especially easy
with the TeMO multi-pipetting module, where reactions with 96 or
384 channels can be built simultaneously.
Freedom
EVOware sets new standards in software flexibility and ease-of-use
for all levels of users in life science research laboratories. The
intuitive graphical user interface sets new standards in user friendliness.
Worktable definition is simplified through drag and drop robotic
moves, and protocol creation even for complex tasks such as DNA
normalisation is accelerated through application templates. 3D simulation
allows the user to see the process before running it, thus saving
valuable time optimising protocols.
For
the quantification of Nucleic Acid samples, Tecan offers several
microplate-based detection systems. The affordable GENios Pro allows
for quick 280nm/260nm measurements in UV absorbance or, for higher
sensitivity and specificity fluorescence based quantification of
ssDNA, dsDNA, and RNA species. For the ultimate in flexibility and
assay optimisation, the Safire2 monochromator-based microplate reader
affords multi-detection in a totally filter-free environment. The
Ultra Evolution microplate reader represents high performance, multi-mode
detection for conducting high throughput SNP scoring and other genomics
applications.
The
systems that comprise Tecan's Nucleic Acid Sample Preparation Suite
are capable of performing almost any molecular biology procedure
and providing unparalleled reliability, flexibility and quality
of results. For further information or a copy of the Nucleic Acid
Sample Preparation Suite technical brochure please contact your
local Tecan sales office.
