Tecan Fluent 1080 Automated Liquid Handler with Span-8 Air FCA and Robotic Gripper Arm
Product Description
The Tecan Fluent 1080 Liquid Handler is a versatile automated liquid handling workstation featuring a Span-8 Air Flexible Channel Arm (FCA) for precise single- and multi-channel pipetting with volume capacity up to 1000 µL per channel. Equipped with a Robotic Gripper Arm (RGA), it facilitates efficient plate and labware movement across the deck, supporting complex workflow automation essential in cutting-edge biotechnology research and molecular diagnostics.
Key technical features include:
- Span-8 Air FCA arm enabling flexible, contamination-free liquid transfers across plates, reservoirs, and tubes, critical for bioprocessing and gene editing workflows.
- RGA gripper arm supports barcode reading integration for reliable sample tracking, increasing data accuracy in high-throughput screening (HTS) and next-generation sequencing (NGS) library preparation.
- High-capacity, customizable deck with multiple segments including 5-position and 6-position FCA nests, accommodating various labware types used in ELISA, qPCR setup, and cell-based assays.
- Disposable tip system prevents cross-contamination, vital for synthetic biology and molecular cloning applications.
- Modular design supports optional upgrades such as higher volume liquid handling, shaking, cooling/heated positions, magnetic extraction, vacuum positions, and on-deck thermal cyclers to enhance biomanufacturing process automation.
This system’s automation capabilities significantly increase laboratory throughput and precision, making it widely adopted in biotechnology, clinical diagnostics, and biomedical engineering laboratories focusing on complex liquid handling protocols. Its reliable, scalable platform is ideal for sample normalization, serial dilutions, drug discovery assays, and custom assay programming involving molecular diagnostics and synthetic biology.
The Fluent 1080 is shipped fully serviced, with preventive maintenance performed and stress-tested for operational integrity. Optional on-site setup, training, Artel volume verification, and method development consulting are available to optimize integration into your laboratory environment.
