Tecan has launched the latest version of its easy-to-use, intuitive Freedom EVOware software, designed to control and maximize the performance of the Freedom EVO® series of liquid handling platforms. Freedom EVOware version 2.1 contains many new features that offer substantial improvements in throughput and operating speed, user-friendliness and data management. Freedom EVOware is available in two configurations: Freedom EVOware Standard, the script-based option for simple and intuitive control of the Freedom EVO; and Freedom EVOware Plus, which combines pipetting and advanced dynamic scheduling in a single package.

Further improvements in processing speed have been achieved with more efficient movement of the robotic arms and optimized scheduling. Usability has also been improved with realistic simulation of processes and customizable user dialogs. Other improvements include a modular user management that allows several installations to share one user database, and makes it possible to use account information from an external source, such as the Microsoft® Windows® user database. Freedom EVOware also supports the new 8 Plus 1 Access™ option for the Freedom EVO 75, offering optimized worklisting and disposable tip handling.
