Complete automation for cartridge-based filtration and SPE.
Two independently controlled vacuum positions.
Software-controlled vacuum pressure with feedback.

Te-Shake™ – Consistent Assay Results
The Te-Shake is an orbital shaker compatible with various labware types, offering full software control for shaking and heating parameters to ensure reliable assay results.

Handles microplates, deep-well plates, PCR plates, and tubes.
Automated transport of plates for increased walkaway times.
Configurable with a heating option.

Te-MagS™ – Walkaway Magnetic Separation
This tool is designed for DNA, RNA, and protein purification, as well as cell isolation, using magnetic bead-based separation. It supports 96-well microplates and PCR plates, with full software control for extended walkaway times.

Monitored Incubation Option (MIO)
The MIO provides precise control of microplate incubation, suitable for ELISA and cell-based assays, with temperature control from room temperature +5 to 60 °C.

Supports up to four or six microplates.
Temperature-controlled carriers for consistent assay conditions.

Storage Solutions
Te-Stack™/Stacker™ offers high throughput storage for microplates and disposable tips, maximizing walkaway time with fast delivery.

Each stacker holds up to 40 standard microplates or tip racks.
Allows pipetting directly to and from the transfer station.
