Tecan has introduced a Te-MO 3/3 multi-channel pipetting device for its Genesis platform. Through its compact design, it does not increase the footprint of the whole workstation. Plates can be loaded on the system while other plates are being pipetted. The instrument pipettes 96-, 384- and 1536-well plate formats. It works with most workstation modules and is controlled by Tecan’s Gemini software.
Agilent has launched its 1100 series nanoflow liquid chromatograph for mass spectrometry-based proteomics applications. It is designed to provide stable ultra-low flow control and is suited for one-dimensional and multi-dimensional separations. The instrument uses a solvent delivery technology. Its pump is optimized for nanoliter-per-minute flows and features active-feedback flow control, which automatically compensates for partial blockages or back pressure changes. The instrument’s price starts at $55,890.
