Tecan has partnered with Artel to offer the QC Kit, a fully integrated
performance verification solution for its Freedom EVO liquid handling
workstations. The QC Kit incorporates Artel’s 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. This tool provides clinical, pharmaceutical, and forensic laboratories
a way to meet increasing quality and regulatory demand for performance
verification.

The QC Kit comprises an Infinite F50 or Infinite200 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 min depending on the
workstation configuration without the need for a carefully controlled testing
environment, sample preparation or standard curve generation.
