TouchTools provides a fully customizable user interface for FreedomEVO® workstations, greater flexibility for instrument programmers, and a structured, user-friendly environment for operators. This intuitive user interface allows quick and easy experimental setup through customizable wizards (such as nucleic acid purification wizards), and visually guides the operator through the setup process, thereby reducing training requirements for new operators. Programmers can develop custom maintenance and runtime workflows to quickly and easily create custom graphics and easy-to-use FreedomEVOware® commands. TouchTools also allows embedding laboratory SOPs and critical pre-operation checks into the instrument workflow, thereby reducing the need for paper instructions. These tools help ensure smooth daily operations, reduce operator errors, improve compliance, and enhance process safety and traceability.
