Tecan and Artel partner to produce unique, fully integrated QC Kit for Freedom EVO® workstation

6-2-2012. Tecan has partnered with Artel – the worldwide leader in liquid handling quality assurance – to offer the QC Kit, a fully integrated performance verification solution for its Freedom EVO liquid handling workstations. The QC Kit incorporates Artel’s proprietary Ratiometric Photometry™ technology within the Freedom EVO system, enabling collection of precision and accuracy performance data regarding the volumes delivered by every channel of a liquid handling arm, with results fully traceable to international standards. This new tool provides clinical, pharmaceutical and forensic laboratories a simple and reliable way to meet increasing Quality & Regulatory demand for performance verification.
The QC Kit comprises an Infinite® F50 or Infinite 200 PRO microplate reader, a calibrator plate, shaker, barcode scanner and a Freedom EVOware® software add-on, plus a range of co­branded consumables, including characterized verification microplates and color dye solutions. All color dye solutions are traceable to international reference standards, allowing direct comparison of results between different sites and instruments. The liquid handling performance results can be obtained automatically in just 10 to 30 minutes – depending on the workstation configuration – without the need for a carefully controlled testing environment, sample preparation or standard curve generation.

Ratiometric Photometry refers to dual-dye, dual-wavelength absorbance measurements to determine a target volume of sample solution dispensed from a pipette or liquid handler. Two colorimetric dyes, with distinct absorbance maxima at 520 nm (red) and 730 nm (blue), are used to make this measurement possible. Volume measurements are determined by applying the Beer-Lambert Law, which states that the measured absorbance of a dye is proportional to the concentration of a dye, the molar absorptivity of the dye, and the pathlength of the sample holder. If both the molar absorptivities and concentrations of the dyes are known and closely controlled, which is the case with ARTEL Sample Solutions, the law can be used to determine an unknown pathlength traversed by a photometric light beam. By measuring the pathlength through the solution and by knowing the dye concentrations in the ARTEL Sample Solutions, the unknown volume can be calculated through a series of equations.

Dynamic Devices: Seyonic Partnership

30-012011. Dynamic Devices announces the strategic partnership with Seyonic SA of Neuchâtel, Switzerland. With the implementation of Seyonic's Senor Controlled Pipetting (SCP) independent tips as the pipetting base for Dynamic Devices i8 VVP Independent Tip Arm and the new co-development and exclusive distribution of the 96 VVP Independent Volume Head the first air based validated pipetting will be offered in a flexible automation liquid handling robot platform for the Life Science Industry.
Seyonic SA specializes in microsystem technology for measurement and control in laboratory instrumentation. Their core competency is accurate small volume liquid handling in the sub-microliter range. Seyonic develops applications, manufactures components, and assembles and tests OEM instrument sub-systems.  Seyonic was founded in 1998 and is based in Neuchâtel, Switzerland. The company is a spin-off from the Institute of Microtechnology at the University of Neuchâtel.  From thier roots in the silicon wafer industry, the flow sensor pipetting technology was developed for the life science industry out of a need to accurately aspirate and dispense nanoliter amounts of liquid.  
Dynamic Devices is a premier provider of liquid handling robots and lab automation solutions to the life science industry.  We are a recognized leader in motion control, liquid handling, microarray nano technology, high speed rapid prototyping and application development.  With the implementation of  Volume Verified Pipetting (VVP) and combinations of standard liquid handling platforms and custom integration services we deliver complete customer solutions
