23 LIMS & Lab Automation 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.
“Phase Separator represents a significant advance in liquid-separation technology,” said Luca Valeggia, Senior Vice President of Laboratory Automation at Tecan. “With its precision and streamlined workflow, it will deliver new levels of efficiency and reliability for both research and clinical applications. It will make an enormous contribution to liquid biopsy workflows, impacting disease diagnosis and monitoring, and to broader research applications, where it will help to accelerate discovery.”
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.

59749pr@reply-direct.com Automated software for HPLC pump validation
Testa Analytical Solutions e.K. announce a new software tool for its AB4000X range of flowmeters to enable labs to automatically validate the performance of HPLC, uHPLC and GPC/SEC pumps.
The Pump Validation Software Suite has been designed to accept raw data generated by the Testa Analytical flowmeter PC-App and perform all necessary flow calculations automatically. Using this powerful software tool - all data and parameters are automatically validated for fitness of use for validation and a summary report generated which can be stored or printed for hard copy documentation.
This powerful software tool comes with a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) detailing the whole validation protocol. In addition, this new software can also be used to calculate ancillary pump performance parameters, such as real-time pulsation, which can be used to identify transient changes in pump performance.
The AB4000X flowmeter range from Testa Analytical sets the benchmark for real-time
monitoring devices for continuously measuring the performance of pumps serving HPLC, uHPLC, LC/MS, GPC/SEC, and flow chemistry systems. Compatible with all common solvents, the compact AB4000X flowmeter powers itself from a USB
connection. At the heart of each Testa flowmeter is a high-resolution thermal flow sensor that is both extremely accurate and sensitive. This non-invasive sensor enables the device to operate over a wide dynamic range. Each Testa flowmeter is supplied with an easy-to-use PC based App that allows users to continuously record, and store measured flow rate data from a HPLC system. Current flow rate is displayed on the devices integral high-resolution OLED display.
