Automation to meet extraordinary laboratory needs

The speed of change is fast in life science research, frequently outpacing product development in the laboratory industry. Tecan Labwerx creates customized solutions to address the ever-changing needs of this market.

Since 1996, we have delivered over 1,000 projects – from simple modified workstations to large-scale robotic integrations. Today, Tecan Labwerx is a complete business unit with all the expertise necessary to drive a project from design and implementation to road testing our solutions with the same applications that you will use in your lab.

Tecan Labwerx translates your workflow into a unique automated system based on three pillars

Tecan platforms
Customized modules
Third-party integrations

Tecan platforms

We take Tecan’s industry-leading platforms, the Freedom EVO® and the Fluent® Automation Workstation, beyond the standard capabilities.

Modules

We can design new customized components for your unique challenge and adapt Tecan modules to your needs.

Third-party integrations

We bring your solution to life by seamlessly pulling together novel elements and third-party components and instruments.

Laboratory automation – when only a custom solution will do

Collaboration lies at the heart of customization

Whether your project requires modification of standard liquid handling workstations, integration of large-scale robotics, or the design and manufacture of completely new devices, we work with you as a partner to develop a solution that matches your workflow and protocols.

Building blocks for adaptive workflows

Creating your ideal solution depends on solving the individual steps in the process. Each step can require a different functionality, which must be seamlessly integrated into the workflow. Tecan Labwerx helps you map the options, some of which are presented below.

Tubes and vials

Transport		Agitate
Read barcode		Heat/cool
Cap/decap		Centrifugate
Crimp		Detect the interface between layers
Weigh

Plates and microtubes

Transport		Agitate
Read barcode		Heat/cool
Seal/unseal		Centrifuge
Lid/unlid		Stack

Recent project highlights

Our comprehensive technical capabilities range from the design and manufacture of modified workstations, invention of novel devices and creation of new software, to the development of large-scale robotic integrations. We lead the way by automating analysis and development methods that are beyond the ordinary. Here are a few examples.

Aircapper for automated capping and decapping

A short demonstration of one of Labwerx’s many automation capabilities, showing the Aircapper capping and decapping 50 ml sample tubes and 15 ml centrifuge tubes.

Unique custom fingers

Six unique custom fingers by Tecan Labwerx. The fingers can be exchanged to manipulate multiple different types of labware on the same worktable.

Lift under worktable

Equipment accessibility and use of laboratory space is optimized with this elegant under-bench solution – a lift designed by Tecan Labwerx that can easily be pulled out when needed.

Small tube manipulation

Tecan Labwerx makes automated small tube manipulation easy with custom fingers that can grip and transfer low volume sample tubes.

Cell engineering

This comprehensive automation solution from Tecan Labwerx automates the entire cell culture process. Cells are kept comfortable and warm while they are suspended, seeded and moved to the incubator.

Bacterial engineering

A complete workflow in 50 ml conical tubes with capper/decapper and tumble mixer.

A deciding factor in choosing Tecan was its ability to deliver what no other company on the market could: precise sampling and dosing on a moving microplate. Más información
