Consumables

At Tecan, we work continually to assure that the Tecan instrument meets your application requirements. We provide Instrument and Operational qualifications of your Tecan instrument together with your choice of Tecan Tips. The performance of the entire system is dependent on every aspect; right down to each individual tip.

Disposable tips

Liquid Handling (LiHa) disposable tips

Carefully designed, produced and validated to ensure reliable performance using Liquid Handling (LiHa) Arms and Flexible Channel (FCA) Arms on Tecan platforms. Available in a variety of tip volumes, with or without filters, and made of conductive polypropylene to allow capacitive liquid level detection. Available in three purity levels (Tecan Standard, Tecan Pure and Tecan Sterile) tailored towards specific applications.

MultiChannel Arm™ (MCA) 96 disposable tips

Designed, validated and manufactured to ensure optimal performance of your MultiChannel Arm 96. Available in four volume sizes – 50, 100, 200 and 500 μl. Supplied in ANSI/SLAS-format racks, allowing up to 768 tips per position on the worktable, or 3,840 tips in a Te-Stack™ column.

MultiChannel Arm™ (MCA) 384 disposable tips

Available in three volume sizes – 15, 50 and 125 μl – enabling 96- or 384-channel pipetting over a volume range of 0.5 to 125 μl, as well as single row or column pipetting. The advanced design of the MCA 384 disposable tips incorporates multiple stabilization guides and flexible sealing rings to provide excellent seal integrity. This ensures accurate, reproducible, low volume pipetting results over a broad volume range, offering a reliable solution to maximize productivity while reducing maintenance requirements.

Labware

Reagent troughs

Tecan offers a collection of reagent troughs of varying volumes and shapes that are designed for the liquid handlings arms on Fluent and Freedom EVO Liquid Handling Platforms.

Compatibility with strict application needs is guaranteed by our certified purity levels.

Functional consumables

Dispensehead cassettes

D300e Digital Dispenser
The T8+ and D4+ Dispensehead cassettes allow dispensing of up to eight fluids per cassette, from 11 picoliters to 10 microliters of small molecules and biomolecules in DMSO or aqueous solution.

Quality Assurance with QC Kit

The QC Kit is a quality control tool for pipetting volume verification of your liquid handling platform, ensuring full regulatory compliance. It consists of hardware, consumables and software, guides the user through the testing protocol, and provides CV and accuracy values for pipetting volumes.

AC Extraction Plate™

The AC Extraction Plate speeds up your sample prep routine, and is a perfect match to our Freedom EVO and Fluent liquid handling platforms. It simplifies your LC-MS sample prep routine for apolar small molecules, such as vitamin D, certain therapeutic drugs and testosterone.

Protein affinity capture tips

MSIA Streptavidin Affinity Capture Tips are affinity microcolumns with the capability to capture and purify antibodies and other proteins from various samples.

Narrow Bore Extraction columns

Sample preparation continues to be the most time-consuming part of an analytical workflow. Tecan’s range of smart consumables, coupled with its automation expertise, can help improve the throughput and quality of your sample preparation workflow.

Cerex ® columns

Immunoassays automation

Autoimmunity

Autoimmune disease are chronic inflammatory processes. They can be either organ-specific or systemic in nature. Autoimmune diseases predominantly affect women and correlate with the production of disease-associated autoantibodies. The impact of autoimmune diseases on the cost of healthcare and effective treatment underline the importance of accurate and reliable methods for diagnosis, prognosis and monitoring autoimmune diseases.

Complementary Medicine

Changes in sex hormones and adrenal hormones can lead to neurotransmitter imbalances. And vice versa. Testing both neurotransmitters and hormones provides a comprehensive view of the body’s functional neuroendocrine status, and brings light to additional factors that may be contributing to symptoms.

Endocrinology

We provide you with a comprehensive portfolio of highly sensitive, reliable immunoassays for measuring steroids, peptides, proteins and amino hormones from a variety of sample matrices. They can overcome the disadvantages of working with radioactivity without the need for huge investments. This is especially interesting to departments that have no access to MS equipment. Numerous studies have shown that most of our assays correlate strongly to LC-MS/MS and RIA.

Immunology

Immunology is the medical field that addresses the study of physiological functioning of the immune system in health and disease. Dysfunctions of the immune system are generally termed “immune disorders”. These types of disorders can be characterized in different ways.

Infectious Diseases

Infectious disease are caused by pathogenic microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, parasites or fungi. Some infectious diseases can be passed from person to person; some are transmitted via bites from insects or animals. We offer a wide range of ELISAs for detecting infectious diseases caused by pathogenic microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, parasites or fungi. Our assays are based on detecting specific antibody classes (IgA, IgG, IgM) in serum, plasma or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) or detection of antigens from stool samples.

Neurodegeneration

Neurodegeneration or neurodegenerative diseases are a group of disorders that are characterized by progressive loss of structure respective function of neurons, including their death. Most known neurodegenerative diseases are Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Multiple sclerosis and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. Yet, research in the field of neurodegeneration elucidates many more often overlapping diseases that have similar cellular and sub-cellular pathogenic mechanisms.
