Fluent® Laboratory Automation Workstation for Genomic Workflows

Tecan

Fluent’s groundbreaking design delivers more capacity and productivity for genomic workflows. This innovative workstation offers superior precision, higher throughput and longer walkaway times, allowing scientists to get more done in less time, with greater confidence. The Fluent Laboratory Automation Workstation for genomic workflows offers high precision liquid handling – down to 200 nl – for accurate quantification set-up and normalization of DNA, as well as PCR/qPCR set-up and NGS library preparation. It’s freely configurable architecture allows integration of devices for molecular biology protocols, and can easily be adapted to additional workflows. Whether you want to increase throughput or reduce variability for nucleic acid purification, quantification and normalization or reaction set-up, Fluent provides greater throughput and more consistent results.   The platform’s intuitive FluentControl™ software allows protocols to be written for virtually any genomics application, with dedicated commands for creating standard curves, DNA/RNA normalization, etc. An Active Stop and Resume function permits instant access to the workdeck during a run – allowing set-up errors or omissions to be corrected simply by opening the door – while advanced Method Recovery options further enhance process security. Features: Choice between liquid and air displacement technologies Minimizes risk of errors with smaller sample volumes Built in touchscreen interface Enhanced process security FluentControl Software Integration options

Cell / Tissue CultureCell culture or tissue culture is used to study the biology of cells or tissues and to isolate cellular products in an environment which can be manipulated and well defined. Accurately control your culture environment with bioreactors or culture incubators, bind your cells to a surface or together with an extracellular matrix. Distinguish cell types with differential media or proliferate cells with certain characteristics using selective media. Enrich your media with supplements such as growth factors, sera and vitamins. Find the best cell and tissue culture products, kits and equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Bioprocessing / FermentationBioprocessing is the use of biological materials to perform commercial, scientific or medical research processes. Biological materials used include cells, enzymes and organisms. Usually bioprocessing requires a batch or continuous bioreactor such as a fermentor or cell culture system. The advantages of using a reactor include high productivity, easy configuration, adjustable values and automation.GenomicsGenomics is the study of genomes, focusing on the sequencing, analysis, and interpretation of genetic material. It is key in understanding genetic diseases, evolutionary biology, and personalized medicine. Techniques like next-generation sequencing (NGS) are commonly used in genomics research. Browse our peer-reviewed product directory to find the best genomics tools, compare products, check reviews, and get pricing directly from manufacturers.Cell BiologyCell biology studies the structure, function, and behavior of cells. Understanding cellular processes is essential for research in areas such as cancer biology, stem cell research, and neurobiology. Techniques like flow cytometry, microscopy, and cell culture enable researchers to explore cellular mechanisms in detail.
