Next generation of PMP-Pressing Monitoring Pipetting
Tecan’s new pressure monitored pipetting (PMP) tool is an independent option for Freedom EVO ® platforms that brings a number of benefits
to biopharma applications, including DNA extraction and screening assays. With PMP, the pipetting quality can be observed online for both
aspirations and dispensations, and anomalies including tip leakage, air bubbles, occluded tips or inappropriate sample volumes can quickly
be detected. The PMP can also detect the liquid level of non-polar organic liquids (pLLD or DUAL LLD).

Automated Cell Culture Moves Into the Smallest Lab:
Presenting Two New Systems – CompacT SelecT and CellBase
The new – CompacT SelecT and CellBase bring the benefits of automated cell culture in a package that fits smaller budgets and
standard laboratories. This workshop highlights how TAP has downsized the SelecT to enable processing of full size, T175 flasks in a
space that is only slightly larger than a standard Class II safety cabinet. By using standard tissue culture flasks rather than specialized ‘automation’
flasks, virtually any attachment dependent cells grown manually in T-flasks can be rapidly introduced onto the system
without developing new procedures and either output as a harvested suspension or automatically plated into 96 and 384 formats.

Large-Scale Automated Biological Sample Storage at -80°C:
The Challenges in Designing an Automated Bio-Repository for Biobanking
This workshop describes the unique issues, challenges and possible solutions an organization should consider if planning for a large-scale
automated repository for their biological samples. Concerns about larger collections requiring ultra-low temperature (ULT) storage such as
accuracy of sample identity, tracking of sample history and continuity of controlled sample condition are discussed. This workshop is based
around The Automation Partnership’s development of the Polar ULT robotic sample archive. Polar’s novel design meets the growing
demand from national Biobanks, academic institutions and private facilities for a new type of large-scale repository for long-term storage
(20-25 years) of biological samples at -80°C.
