The Freedom EVOlution software enables an easy set up of sophisticated pipetting procedures for pre-analytical sample distribution, assay preparation and fully automated ELISA that are processed on the Freedom EVO® Clinical and Freedom EVOlyzer® workstations – our IVD-D (98/79/EC) platforms.

The package allows sample-based pipetting procedures for a wide variety of tasks:

• diluting of samples
• dispensing of reagents
• preparation of assay controls
• common pre-dilution
• split of source tubes into multiple destination tubes* New
• pipetting of archive plate* New

* only on the Freedom EVO Clinical possible

The Freedom EVOlution software offers different pipetting options such as:

• sample dilution in tip
• preparation of pre-dilutions in 96-well plates or tubes
• single, multi or parallel pipetting options to reduce process time and consumable consumption
• 96-well and strip plates handling

You can select between Teflon®-coated stainless steel tips (standard tips) and disposable tips. The cost effective standard tip contains an “in-process” tip decontamination that reduces possible sample carryover. Disposable tips are used for applications with the highest requirements on sensitivity and a minimum of cross contamination.

The guided graphical user interface is available in different languages and has touch-screen compatibility.

Barcoded samples and reagent vessels are automatically tracked and reported with the position indentification and related error codes in the output files. A Worktable Loading Interface facilitates the interaction with the operator during the run and triggers a re-scan after intervention. Reload of samples, reagents, microplates and disposable tips allows a continuous operation for the high throughput. The safety concept is based on full process traceability and documentation, with guided maintenance and full audit trail.
The user can choose between batch, worklist or ASTM (NCCLS LIS1 / NCCLS LIS2) operating modes.

Benefits

• Simplified control of complex pipetting procedures
• Fast set up up of fully automated ELISA processes
• Increased throughput due to continuous loading of samples
• Easy operation via wizard-driven GUI
• Documentation track of maintenance tasks for audits
