Tecan Evo75

Automated Pipettor

The “Hit Picker” at the ICCB-L Screening Facility is comprised of two instruments, the Tecan EVO75 Liquid Handling Platform (left), and a Velocity11 2R BenchCel Stacker (right) integrated together using Visual Basic programming. The EVO75 has 2 independent disposable tips (DiTis) and is capable of picking a maximum of 300 wells per hour. A bar code reader has been incorporated into the system for tracking plates and real-time error detection. The EVO75 can accommodate both 96- and 384-well plates, and volume ranges from 1 uL to 250 uL. A comma separated (.csv) input file is used as the source for the picks.

This instrument is operated by ICCB-Longwood Screening Facility staff members.
