Tecan’s New MCA 384 Disposable Tips Offer Enhanced Pipetting Flexibility

Tecan has launched a new generation of high quality MCA 384 Disposable Tips designed to optimize the performance and reliability of the versatile MultiChannel Arm (MCA) 384 pipetting option on Freedom EVO® workstations. The all new range of MCA 384 Disposable Tips has been extended to include a 15 μl tip size alongside the existing 50 μl and 125 μl sizes, providing high quality, reliable pipetting across a broad volume range.

All MCA 384 Disposable Tips are now available in Tecan’s enhanced Tecan Pure and Tecan Sterile purity levels, with filtered versions of Tecan Sterile tips also available in all sizes. Tips are precision manufactured to deliver reliable 96- or 384­channel pipetting, as well as single row or column pipetting, and have a patented design which ensures high accuracy and low CVs even at low volumes, helping to save valuable reagents and reduce maintenance requirements. The new range offers maximum format flexibility, including the use of 1,536-well plates with 15 μl tips, full depth access to 96 deep-well plates with 125 μl tips and use of typical 0.7 ml and 1.4 ml 96 storage tube formats, providing customers with a comprehensive solution to meet their automation needs. In addition, each product is supplied with a Certificate of Conformity (CoC) which ensures full traceability and guarantees that the product meets the stated specifications, helping to meet regulatory and quality documentation requirements.
