It’s time for a thread on Tecan Introspect.

  1. Are you using it? (or do you want to use it?)
  2. How have you utilized it?
  3. How have you incorporated into your workflow (outside of the installation)?
  4. Any wishlist items?
  5. Any concerns?

I’ll share my experiences when others do as well.

Mainly used for Tecan connect app on phone to monitor robots, which only another team member and I used. now has a missioncontrol dashboard which hoping a wider base will use to monitor their runs. Not used the data side too much yet.

Mildly fun fact but if you have a MacBook for your daily driver, you can download the app to your laptop and just have it on in the background of your desktop

I just started using “next gen” Introspect this week. I noticed that the consumables tracker is not including our MCA tip usage (96 tip box) and is only showing the FCA hanging tips. I don’t see it in the labware tracker either. Are these not tracked, or do I need to enable the view somewhere?

Hey Sean,

I just checked and I have the following listed,

  • FCA, 200ul Filtered SBS
  • 200ul Filtered SBS

My guess is that the latter are the MCA96 tip boxes. What version of Introspect do you have installed?

Also the new dashboard is looking pretty nice and it’s fast.

Agreed I’m really liking it so far. 1.2.3 is the version on the web viewer and v2.8 is the client.

“MCA96_200ul_Box” is the labware we’re using, but only the FCA tips are listed on the dashboard.

Are you using the new MCA96 head or the older MCA head? Weird.

Hey Sean!
Is this for an Evo or a Fluent?
I might have to ask around to confirm, but I recall there’s a difference in how Evoware treats MCA tips vs how FluentControl accounts for them
Something along the lines of Fluent “logging” the tips at pickup, and Evo does so at disposal

Hi Parker,

This is on a Fluent 780 with Fluent Control v3.5.

Update: The MCA tips are now captured on my dashboard. I’m not sure if that was an update pushed to the web, or if there was a delay in exporting/communicating that labware data set after our initial install of the client.
