WE ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT SUPPORTING AND EMPOWERING LABS AND DIAGNOSTIC COMPANIES
LIFE SCIENCES BUSINESS
PARTNERING BUSINESS
Supporting and equipping individual labs and lab chains to further scale up COVID-19 testingSupplying in vitro diagnostic companies with instruments, components and/or disposable pipette tips
Robotic Pipette Tips: a Seemingly Simple Product
FULLY AUTOMATED PRODUCTION LINES, PRECISE MOLDING, INLINE VISUAL QUALITY TESTING
• In this unprecedented time, Tecan recognized its responsibility to enable the scale-up of diagnostic testing
• Increase in global manufacturing capacity, resulting in a tripling of Tecan's worldwide pipette tip production
• In October 2020, the U.S. Government awarded a USD 32.9 million (CHF 29.8 million) contract/grant to support equipping a U.S. pipette tip manufacturing facility; start of production expected in fall 2021
High Precision
Defined Airflow
Purity
For performance accuracy, injection molding of automation pipette tips requires: minimal warping clean and smooth surfaces and edgesAirflow in the pipette tips is critical for aspiration step:
Molecular Diagnostics requires high purity:
property range of filter is close to production variance
precisely defined filter position
tested to ensure tips are free from human DNA, PCR inhibitors, RNase and DNase
