Titian Mosaic integrates with Tecan

2018 Mosaic 
SampleBank™

What you need to know

Mosaic SampleBankTM brings the benefits of end-to-end sample inventory and workflow management to the Tecan Fluent® and Freedom EVO® via a dedicated integration. 
This means:

• Specification of the desired output plates or tubes, including required batches, concentrations and layouts,
  is performed in Mosaic via an easy to use interface
• Mosaic automatically translates the requirements into a workflow
• Users are guided through setting up a run on the Tecan liquid handler based on the parameters of the Mosaic workflow, including labware placement, tip selection, and reagent and standard/control positions and volumes.
• Mosaic validates the run and writes and executes the required Tecan instrument control scripts via a dedicated Mosaic application.
• As the liquid transfers are performed, inventory and workflow updates are made in Mosaic in real-time
• Full error handling to allow an operator to safely resume and complete an interrupted run.

Integrating New Instrumentation into Mosaic Sample Management

Here are some of the issues we are helping to solve:

• The ability to manage and process multiple output files and file types created by various types of instrumentation
• The consumption of the information contained in these files
• Reliance on MS Excel workbooks and macros to track samples and create reports
• The use of internally developed, custom solutions that can become outdated and inefficient as laboratory workflows change and instrumentation is improved
• Establishing IT support of bespoke systems without IT dedicated to smaller research lab applications
• Making the assumption that all sample preparation workflow steps are carried out as prescribed without the ability to audit and investigate data anomalies
• Managing multiple workflows involving multiple systems with confidence while insuring data integrity
