Sterile polypropylene reagent reservoirs for sensitive assays


To address the needs of sensitive molecular assays, Integra Biosciences has expanded its reagent reservoir collection to include 10 and 25 ml sterile polypropylene reservoirs featuring SureFlo™ anti-sealing technology. Manufactured from a highly chemically resistant material, these new additions offer broad reagent compatibility and reduced surface adsorption of proteins.


Applications like sensitive molecular assays often face challenges with binding events, making polystyrene reservoirs less suitable. The introduction of polypropylene reservoirs with SureFlo anti-sealing technology aims to overcome these challenges, minimising surface binding of macromolecules and ensuring reliable assay performance. In response to customer demands, these new additions extend the reagent reservoir product range, catering to a broader spectrum of applications.


The unique combination of polypropylene with SureFlo, coupled with a surface treatment for enhanced adhesiveness and wettability, results in ultra-low dead volume. This not only conserves costly reagents but also enhances assay compatibility. The latest generation of polypropylene reservoirs is particularly well-suited for applications involving fluorescent dyes, such as SYBR® Green and TaqMan® qPCR. These applications include forensic analyses, microarrays, next-generation sequencing, gene cloning, and protein work.

Automation innovations in liquid biopsy and biobanking


Tecan introduces Phase Separator™, a ground-breaking liquid separation innovation for enhanced time savings and precision in laboratory protocols. This revolutionary technology offers targeted advantages within liquid biopsy and biobanking, extending its positive impacts to genomics, proteomics, and various disease domains such as oncology, neurodegenerative conditions, and metabolic disorders.


The Phase Separator stands as an exclusive pipetting feature integrated into Tecan’s cutting-edge Fluent® Automation Workstation, empowered by the innovative Air Flexible Channel Arm™ (Air FCA). Designed to tackle the intricate task of identifying interfaces between liquids and accomplishing precise separation of adjacent phases, this technology adeptly mitigates contamination risks. Its application is particularly fitting for isolating plasma in centrifuged blood samples.


Tecan’s ground-breaking technology excels at attaining exceptional precision in identifying liquid levels within tubes, completely independent of any barcode or markings on the tubes. The Phase Separator seamlessly integrates phase detection into the pipetting process, enabling remarkable processing speeds whether working with tubes or plates. The efficiency is further amplified when all eight channels on the Air Flexible Channel Arm (Air FCA) operate in parallel, enabling the extraction of plasma from 24 tubes of centrifuged blood in less than 10 minutes. This speed is doubled on dual-arm systems. These advantages are attained without requiring additional bench space or extra equipment maintenance.


The introduction of Phase Separator reaffirms Tecan’s global dedication to advancing healthcare innovation on a larger scale. This pioneering patent-pending technology facilitates quicker, more precise, and highly efficient processing of biological samples compared to traditional approaches. These enhancements directly lead to heightened productivity and reduced costs for laboratories, particularly influencing the rapidly evolving field of liquid biopsy.
