The combination of the throughput, precision and robustness of a Tecan automation platform with the reproducibility, efficiency and minimal cross-contamination of GE Healthcare’s pre-packed MultiTrap 96-well plates protein purification technology, will enable scientists to move forward more quickly in their research and focus on their areas of expertise.
The first application resulting from this collaboration focuses on protein expression screening. It provides a complete solution, optimizing multi parallel screening of tagged proteins, screening and optimization of expression buffer conditions and identification of protein constructs.
Konstantin Fiedler, general manager, GE Healthcare Protein Sciences, said: “As the biotech industry’s focus on proteins intensifies, the value for researchers of bringing together the complementary strengths of GE Healthcare and Tecan in protein separation, detection and laboratory automation is clear. This collaboration is designed to provide customers with a seamless experience between GE’s chemistry and Tecan’s hardware, bringing maximum efficiency and reliability to their workflow.”
