Glossary of Terms and Instrument Options
Standard
Liquid containing a defined concentration of the substance to be tested. It is
used to create a standard curve allowing the concentration of the analyte in
the samples to be determined. The properties of the standard are well known
and stable.
Standard tip
A Tecan “Standard Tip” is a special type of → Fixed tip that has predefined
characteristics. There are various models of standard tips (with/without
coating, various volumes).
Strip Rack
A rack which holds a single row of sample tubes (i.e. it has a single column of
wells). → Tube Rack.
Structured Query Language (SQL)
A standard language used to communicate with databases to perform tasks
such as update data on a database, or to retrieve data from a database.
Submerged dispensing
Dispensing liquid where the tip is submerged in the liquid. The opposite of
submerged dispensing is → Free air dispensing. Submerged dispensing is
sometimes called contact or surface dispensing.
Sunrise reader
Fully automatic, microprocessor controlled reader designed for professional
use, enabling the user to measure the light absorbency (optical density) of
samples in 96-well microplates. By reading twelve wells simultaneously, the
instrument is able to measure a microplate in approximately six seconds. With
an innovative range of options, this versatile MTP reader provides a wide
range of features for numerous applications.
Symbol LS-1220
Fixed barcode scanner option which requires a RoMa or PnP to bring the
plates or tubes to the scanner. Barcodes can also be scanned by the
→ PosID.
Syringe
Part of the → Dilutor. A glass cylinder with a motor-driven → Plunger that
aspirates/dispenses the required quantity of liquid.
System liquid
Liquid (e.g. water) that fills the liquid system of the pipetting instrument.The
use of a system liquid (and the absence of air bubbles) is important for
pipetting accuracy. The system liquid can also be used as a washing fluid and/
or can be added to selected samples, analogously to an additive. The system
liquids option for the pipetting instrument (formerly called the ChemSystem
option) allows you to switch between up to 6 different system liquids.
TCP/IP
TCP/IP stands for stands for Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol.
It is a collection of protocols, or rules, that govern the way in which data
travels from one computer to another across networks. The Internet is based
on TCP/IP.
Te-Fill option
The Te-Fill option uses a bi-directional pump instead of the diluter to aspirate
and dispense large volumes of liquid, for example buffer solutions. The Te-Fill
can be optionally provided with a 6-way valve, which allows you to switch
between six different liquid containers. The combination of Te-Fill and 6-way
valve is called the Tecan DynamicFill system.
