Tecan Freedom EVO® 100

The Tecan Freedom EVO® 100 liquid handler is one of the most flexible instruments available to automate the DNA IQ™ System. Tecan scripts allow you to process aqueous and swab samples, start with samples in microcentrifuge tubes or deep-well plates, and process any number of samples between 1 and 96 to minimize reagent waste.

Features

Number of tips: The Freedom EVO® 100 is configurable as either a lower cost 4-tip instrument or a higher throughput 8-tip instrument. The user can select the instrument configuration based on the need for lower cost or higher throughput.


Adjustable tip spacing: The liquid-handling arm of the Freedom EVO® 100 can adjust individual tip spacing. This allows users to present samples in either a 2.2ml deep-well plate or individual microcentrifuge tubes.


Independent tip control: Since the height and pipetting volume of each tip on the Freedom EVO® can be controlled independently, 1–96 samples can be processed without wasting reagents on empty wells in a column.
