Cell transfection workstations

Tecan offers a range of cell transfection systems to automate the time consuming and laborious processes of transfecting different cell types. All liquid handling steps are automated, from the preparation of cells and transfection mixes, to incubation of the transfection plates.

The Freedom EVO® Cell Transfection Workstation performs automated lipofection or Nucleofection (a method based on a combination of buffers and electrical parameters). The combination of Lonza’s Nucleofector® 96-well Shuttle® System with Tecan workstations allows automation of high throughput transfection of primary cells (e.g. T-Cells) and difficult-to-transfect cell lines (e.g. Jurkat cells).
The systems are based on Tecan’s flexible Freedom EVO liquid handling platform and include all the necessary components and features for unattended cell transfection, such as:

• Solution for biocontainment to protect cells and users from contamination
• Cooling and warming devices to supply cells with media of the right temperature, or to keep compounds, enzymes and reagents active
• Disposable tips for DNA / RNA processing and / or washable fixed tips for media transfers
• Integrated CO2 incubators to maintain cells in a suitable environment
• Detection devices for DNA quantitation, contamination control or cell-based assays
