Modern research demands efficiency and precision, particularly in areas like multiomics studies where complex workflows require seamless integration. Tecan plays a key role in enabling labs to achieve a level of automated capability that neither of the players can achieve on their own.
One example of this connected approach comes from Illumina, a leader in DNA sequencing technologies. Illumina and Tecan have created a powerful solution using SomaLogic’s scan assay that combines genomic sequencing with high-throughput protein analysis to uncover deeper biological insights such as identifying protein biomarkers associated with early-stage disease progression or therapeutic response.
Recently, Illumina also announced a collaboration with UK Biobank and biopharma partners for a pilot proteomics program to analyze 50,000 samples, combining genomic and proteomic data to gain deeper biological insights. Tecan's automation tools and consumables are essential in optimizing these workflows, ensuring scalability and reproducibility while helping laboratories to manage the complexity of multiomics with ease.
Tecan’s automation tools not only optimize workflows but also enhance the overall scalability and reproducibility of the assays. By providing automation, consumables and modular platforms, Tecan ensures workflows remain consistent and scalable, supporting research labs in tackling the complexity of multiomics without added pressure or workload.
Predefined workflows and digital tools simplify time-intensive processes, freeing up research teams from constant oversight. Instead of managing the challenges of manual interventions, scientists can trust Tecan to deliver reliable and high-throughput solutions.
By enabling projects like Illumina’s collaboration with UK Biobank, Tecan demonstrates how its automation and scalability solutions empower labs to achieve groundbreaking discoveries that shape the future of life sciences. These collaborations reflect Tecan’s commitment to strengthening research ecosystems and driving innovation across critical fields such as genomics and proteomics.
