FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE November 8, 2004. Tecan Europe has announced the introduction of LS Reloaded™, a new series of versatile automation-friendly microarray scanners. Versatile high performance microarray scanners .. Tecan Europe (www.tecan.com) has announced the introduction of LS Reloaded™, a new series of versatile automation-friendly microarray scanners.
The LS Reloaded series incorporates a range of technological developments that have resulted in a three-fold higher sensitivity than Tecan's popular and reliable LS 200/300/400™ systems. The new scanners offer full flexibility supporting both microplates and customised formats. With an unrivalled throughput and automatic gain control, the microarray scanners can use different laser and filter combinations in one scan. The new series of scanners are able to cover an extended dynamic range of intensities by providing a series of gain settings in batch scan option within the experiment. The unique laser beam angle is adjustable and supports high-sensitivity evanescence resonance scanning of glass wavers. Depending on the customer's needs, the LS Reloaded series is available with 2, 3 or 4 lasers and allows simultaneous 2-colour scanning. Linked to Tecan´s Connect™ generic microplate autoloader, the LS Reloaded laser scanners enable unattended throughput capability of up to 200 microarray slides or 50 microplates. The
laser scanners can be supplied with LaserCheck™ plate, a unique
kit that permits convenient automatic quality control through easy
calibration, that is independent of the fluorescence standards used.
The automated focus of the instrument is highly reliable and works
with any substrate, dimension, transparency or planarity. The system
also allows non-confocal and confocal detection with scalable confocality
according to planarity or bulkiness of the active substrate surface.
