The world's first digital analytical syringe and 2010 R&D100
award winner, eVol®, continues to revolutionize laboratory liquid
handling with brand new features available from June 2011. The new eVol® 2011
firmware includes these features incorporated as a result of user feedback:
-
a new slow aspirate and dispense "timed move" capability
especially useful for titrations and reaction rate control;
- Pharmaceutical and customers with GLP or regulatory requirements
will be pleased with the new Write Protect and Password Protect options;
- a new 100μL syringe gives eVol® users even more flexibility to
simplify laboratory workflows;
- a doubling of the number of syringes, methods and custom programs
that can be saved - 20 now possible;
- Russian ‘help' screens added to the languages already available -
Chinese, English, French, German, Japanese and Spanish;
- usability improvements including improved battery life indicators
and ‘save custom program' prompts to prevent accidental loss of unsaved
programs.
The new features are available with any eVol® purchased
from June 2011, but existing eVol® owners can also take up the
new features by returning their eVol® to their local office to
receive a firmware upgrade for a small fee. eVol® is the only laboratory product
of its kind that offers firmware updates after initial purchase. The ability to
update firmware means eVol® can keep pace with the rapid changes occurring in
laboratory liquid handling for years to come.
What is eVol®?
eVol® has been created by the coupling of a precision
analytical syringe to a digitally controlled electronic drive. The result is a
product that eliminates user error and allows significantly improved levels of
precision and accuracy in manual dispensing thereby improving laboratory
workflows and the reliability of reported results independent of operator
skill. eVol® can be easily calibrated enabling laboratories to
comply with stringent global laboratory standards (e.g. GLP, GMP, FDA). eVol® is
enabled by SGE's patented XCHANGE® technology - an innovative
coupling mechanism. The coupling device enables syringes to be rapidly and
easily removed and replaced, allowing them to be dedicated to individual
liquids and/or methods and prevent possible cross contamination.
