Product news

Tecan will be showcasing the Fluent™ laboratory automation solution at exhibitions across Europe this autumn, giving drug discovery scientists the opportunity to see first hand how this innovative system can help to streamline their workflows and take the complexity out of cell biology research.


The latest addition to the Company’s world-class laboratory automation portfolio, the Fluent workstation brings together all the modules and devices required for automation of a wide range of cell-based assays in a single efficient and easy-to-use platform, and will be on show at both ELRIG Drug Discovery 2014 and MipTec 2014.

Visitors to booth H4/G4 at ELRIG Drug Discovery in Manchester, UK, or booth C40 at MipTec in Basel, Switzerland, will have the chance to discuss the potential benefits of this powerful solution with Tecan’s applications specialists and engineers. The Company will also be hosting workshops on the advanced automation capabilities of the Fluent platform at both events, as well as sponsoring a session at ELRIG Drug Discovery entitled ‘Innovations in screening and assay development’. To find out more about Tecan’s activities at ELRIG or MipTec, visit Tecan on booth H4/G4 and C40 respectively.
