TECAN FREEDOM EVO 150
The TECAN Freedom EVO 150 is a highly versatile device capable of automating dozens of different applications. Our Tecan is currently equipped with a four-channel pipette manifold. The instrument supports a wide variety of fluid transfer operations for both 96 and 384-well microplates including reagent addition, continuous reagent dispensing, sample transfer, plate replication, plate-to-plate transfer (96 to 96, 384 to 384, 96 to 384) serial dilutions, and within-well mixing. The Tecan Freedom Evo 150 can accurately handle volumes between 2 and 200 ul.
