Tecan and GE Healthcare collaborate to optimize solutions for high throughput protein applications

Two suppliers collaborate to bring increased quality and consistency to customer processes and workflows

08-Nov-2007

Tecan announced that it will collaborate with GE Healthcare in the area of protein handling and screening. With recognized expertise in their respective fields of Laboratory automation and protein detection, analysis and purification, the two companies will work together to optimize the combination of Tecan's automated instrumentation with GE Healthcare's pre-packed chromatography media, specifically in the area of high throughput protein applications.

According to the companies, 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(tm) 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.
