Tomtec, Inc. products

The Quadra Wash 2 workstation is a small footprint, self contained, automated microtiter plate washing station.  The unit supports washing cycles with two different concentrations of buffered solutions, such as Phosphate Buffered Saline (PBS) and/or water. Dispense/aspirate volumes and rates are set with simple pressure/time adjustments allowing the user to program repeatable fill/dispense volumes at known rates with integrated volume check function, which provides feed-back for quality control. Two separate inputs are provided for buffered solution, used in the wash cycle. The solutions are contained in a 10 Liter pressurized (2 - 5psi) PVC bottle. The effluent from the wash cycle can be aspirated to, and retained in, an Autotrap.  It can also be emptied to a waste disposal system by pressurizing the container from the Quadra Wash 2 control panel.

The AutoSeal thermal sealer is a small footprint bench top workstation designed to hermetically seal a variety of 96, 384 or 1536 assays plates within a single run, enabling a complete walk away automation process. The platform is ideal for a wide range of work-flows from the elution of Dried Blood Spot plugs to incubation of ELISA assays. The AutoSeal comes standard with a set of plate stackers capable of holding up to 25 low profile microplates per run. There is also an optional second stacker for doubling queuing capacity.

The Autogizer and Autogizer2 are fully automated tissue homogenization systems. The Autogizers can accommodate a wide range of lab applications such as tissue homogenization, emulsions and suspensions, cell disruption, protein extraction and various classes of medical laboratory research. Our Ultrasonic model can handle liquid volumes as low as 150ul and up to 150ml at varying intensities.  With five Ultrasonic probes specified by you, our engineers can design a custom system to meet your needs, and properly accessorize the Autogizer to address your heat and noise concerns.  For sturdier samples, our mechanical system can process up to 19 unique tissue groups with four or five variable speed cutters for a total run of 95 samples.

Since the fall of 2009 Tomtec has taken a leadership role in advancing the art of dried blood spots (DBS) bio-sampling focused on the preclinical and clinical markets. We offer a wide range of solutions supporting the entire work flow from sample collection, harvesting, storing to eluting. Tomtec has developed a new class of patented DBS systems and methods which leverages prior art in Bioanalytical automation, GLP, and maintaining chain of custody.  We have integrated that knowledge into our DBS bio-sampling instruments, leveraging our pre-etched bar-coded PDMS cards.
