Freedom EVO 100: Automated Liquid Handling Workstation for Laboratories
The Freedom EVO 100 by Tecan is an advanced solution for automating liquid handling, ideal for laboratories that require high performance and maximum flexibility. This compact system is designed to meet the needs of low-to-medium throughput environments, such as pharmaceutical, forensic, and quality control laboratories.
At the heart of the Freedom EVO 100 is precise pipetting technology that enables efficient and error-free liquid management. The system features configurable pipetting arms with 1, 2, 4, or 8 channels, suitable for a wide range of volumes from 100 nanoliters to over 10 milliliters. With this flexibility, the Freedom EVO 100 can handle aqueous, organic, or biological solutions with exceptional accuracy, whether using disposable or washable tips.
The Freedom EVO 100 integrates Tecan’s Positioning System (Te-PS™), which ensures optimal precision through sophisticated laser-guided technology. This system is particularly effective for pipetting into high-density plate formats, such as 1536-well plates, where precision is crucial. By combining real-time correction with continuous monitoring, the Freedom EVO 100 ensures reliable protocol execution even with minimal supervision.
One of the key features of the Freedom EVO 100 is its ability to evolve according to user needs. The modular system allows for starting with a basic liquid handling configuration and subsequently upgrading by adding robotic arms or other modules. This scalability enables laboratories to easily adapt their equipment to new requirements or emerging applications without the need for a complete system redesign.
Tecan’s Freedom EVOware® software plays a crucial role in optimizing operations. Its intuitive design allows users of all skill levels to create protocols easily through a drag-and-drop interface. The software also offers powerful tools for 3D protocol simulation, easy method transfer between systems, and automated task scheduling to maximize productivity and assay throughput.
The Freedom EVO 100 is also designed with a focus on ergonomics and space efficiency. Its compact footprint and vertical design optimize laboratory space usage while allowing for quick reconfiguration of the worktable with a variety of accessory holders. This facilitates the management of different types of containers and the integration of various peripheral equipment.
To ensure the integrity of samples and reagents, the Freedom EVO 100 is equipped with a barcode identification system that automatically verifies samples and reagents throughout the process. This feature enhances result reliability and minimizes the risk of errors.
The Tecan Freedom EVO 100 is an extremely versatile and powerful workstation that provides a comprehensive solution for laboratory liquid handling automation. With its precise pipetting, modular flexibility, and advanced data management capabilities, it represents a strategic investment for any organization looking to enhance laboratory processes while staying at the forefront of technological innovation.
