Description
- System provides automated processing of microarrays on slides, from pre-hybridization and on-board denaturation, to automatic slide drying
- The Tecan HS 400 PRO has been designed to avoid hands-on operation and give researchers better reproducibility, sensitivity and reliability than they can expect from traditional procedures with even less labor involved. It offer standardization and strict control of the entire process that are key factors in enhancing data quality and consistency. Its performance maximizes the value of genomic and proteomic research, increasing productivity in the laboratory. Low chamber volumes also help to save precious samples and cost
- Temperature control: incubation/wash temperature range 4–85 °C (±1.0 °C)
- denaturation temperature range 50–99 °C; max. 10 min
