Agri-genomic research

is being driven by the need to improve crop yields and animal breeding to feed the growing global population.

This creates a demand for ever-faster, more powerful technologies offering higher sample throughput, multiplexing capabilities and increased automation and reliability, as well as solutions to deal with the complex polyploid genomes of many plant species.

Nucleic acid extraction

Tecan Fluent

Advances in gene editing and screening solutions are enabling agricultural researchers and crop companies alike to ramp up their research into improving plant traits. The extraction of plant nucleic acids is at the heart of these efforts, and selecting the right solution for your magnetic bead- or filter-based purification workflow is essential. Tecan offers scalable solutions to match your throughput needs, with the flexibility to process random access samples, 96- and 384-well formats as required.

Ensuring the health of production animals is a prerequisite for food safety and biosecurity, and is economically important for farmers and food producers alike. Surveillance and eradication programs, together with import/export testing, require reliable screening of large sample numbers, with sample numbers often peaking at certain times of the year. Automated testing workflows simplify traceability, enabling results to be tracked to an individual animal or flock and offering straightforward reporting according to CFR21 part 11 requirements.

Sample reformatting and tracking

Sample distribution and reformatting can become a task in itself when sample numbers are high. Automation not only removes the sample reception and handling bottleneck, it also enables safe and efficient tracking and archiving of samples.

Food quality

has become increasingly important over the last decade, requiring full declaration of the ingredients and their origins, additives used and allergens present in foodstuffs.

This demands constant, detailed analysis of foodstuff, water and environmental samples.

In addition, food researchers worldwide are continuously seeking ways to improve food production processes and to create functional foods.
