Te-Vac Vacuum Filtration Unit

Tecan

The Tecan Te-VacS is a versatile vacuum separation module designed for seamless integration with Tecan pipetting platforms such as the Freedom EVO®. Built to automate cartridge-based filtration and solid-phase extraction (SPE) processes, the Te-VacS eliminates the need for labor-intensive manual handling while delivering highly reproducible results. Supporting a wide range of SPE plates and cartridges from multiple suppliers, it offers exceptional flexibility for diverse sample preparation workflows in the life sciences.

Equipped with two independent vacuum positions and a high-performance pump, the Te-VacS ensures efficient processing with reduced risk of aerosol cross-contamination. Its modular design allows operation as a standalone unit or in combination with other Tecan modules, enabling scale-up and multi-batch processing without user intervention. Straightforward control through Tecan’s Pipetting Software Packages makes the Te-VacS a reliable, automation-ready solution for labs seeking high-throughput, hands-free nucleic acid, protein, and small molecule purification.
