New TouchTools™ PCR Wizard Aids Automated PCR set-up Tecan has launched the TouchTools™ PCR Wizard, an easy-to-use Freedom EVOware®
PCR reaction set up on Freedom EVO® add-on offering straightforward automation of platforms. This new tool simplifies the set-up of applications – including end-point, real-time and
multiplex PCR, sequencing, genotyping and gene expression, as well as pathogen and mutagenesis detection – helping to reduce training time and costs.
The PCR Wizard’s effortless touchscreen operation and step-by-step instructions guide users through the set up process, allowing sample information to be entered manually, imported from a file or identified by barcode scanning. Users can quickly and easily optimise 96- and 384-well PCR plate layouts to meet specific workflow needs, using up to 96 master mixes and defining their own controls and dilution curves, with just a single set-up required for multiple PCR plates per run. To avoid the risk of transcription errors, data can be exported in formats ready for the most popular real-time cyclers from Bio-Rad and Life Technologies, and optional integrated sample tracking further increases process security. For maximum flexibility, the PCR Wizard can be used in conjunction with the Freedom EVOware Normalization Wizard, providing simple, user-oriented solutions for the entire genomics workflow.

Synthesis and Evaporation In Pear Shaped Flasks
Asynt has developed a version of DrySyn heating block purpose designed to allow scientists to perform safe, productive heating and stirring experiments with pear shaped flasks commonly used with rotary evaporators.
Pear shaped flasks are popular with organic chemists as concentrated samples can be removed much more easily than from a round bottom flask. Pear-shaped flasks are used for evaporating solutions to dryness post synthesis using a rotary evaporator, the ‘rounded V’ shape of the flasks enables solid materials to be scraped out more efficiently than from a round bottomed flask. Martyn Fordham, Managing Director of Asynt commented: “By designing a version of the DrySyn to accept these flasks - chemists can now eliminate the need for sample transfers between reaction flask and an evaporator (pear-shaped) flask, allowing the same flask to be used for both Synthesis and Evaporation.”
Made of chemically resistant, anodised aluminium, the DrySyn range of heating blocks for pear-shaped flasks (100mL, 250ml, 500mL, 1000mL) offer excellent heating performance to over 300ºC and can heat a reaction flask 25% faster than an oil bath. Providing excellent heating and stirring performance but without the inherent risks and mess of an oil bath, DrySyn heating blocks help laboratory scientists create a safer, cleaner and more efficient working environment. DrySyn heating blocks also offer a flexible, safe alternative to using heating mantles.

Multi-Mode Dispenser with RAD™ Technology Expands Capabilities
BioTek’s MultiFlo™ FX is now available with optional RAD™ (Random Access Dispense) technology to further extend its application range and flexibility. RAD technology offers single-channel dispensing to random individual microplate wells along with rapid reagent dispensing into large volume wells of 6- to 24- well microplates. MultiFlo FX can also be separately configured with an optional wash module for 6- to 384-well plates.
When incorporating RAD technology or the washing module, MultiFlo FX replaces up to five separate liquid handlers, thus saving time and instrumentation costs. The modular architecture allows users to purchase modules required now and upgrade as their assay needs evolve, eliminating the need to purchase multiple instruments. MultiFlo FX features BioTek’s unique Parallel Dispense™ technology which allows up to four independent reagents to be dispensed in parallel without risk of fluid carryover. A choice of peristaltic or syringe pump dispense technologies provides reagent conservation and unattended operation down to 500 nL with low maintenance and low consumable costs.
MultiFlo FX is especially suited for sensitive cell based assays, ELISAs and bead-based assays, with angled dispense tips and flexible flow rates to keep cells intact; and when integrated with BioStack 4™ Microplate Stacker, the process can be automated using lidded or non-lidded plates. Fast programming via intuitive on-board software and a color touch screen display provides total control of dispense patterns, and two integrated USB ports provide convenient file transfer and storage.
