Tecan Fluent 1080 Automated Liquid Handling Workstation with Span-8 FCA, MCA Multi-Channel Arm, and RGA Gripper

The Tecan Fluent 1080 Liquid Handler is a high-throughput, automated liquid handling workstation designed for precise and flexible sample processing in biotechnology and molecular diagnostics laboratories. Equipped with a Span-8 Flexible Channel Arm (FCA) capable of handling volumes up to 1000 µL per channel, it facilitates individual well access for precision liquid transfers. The integrated MultiChannel Arm (MCA 384) includes a 96-channel adapter compatible with standard SBS-format plates, enabling simultaneous processing of up to 96 wells.

A Robotic Gripper Arm (RGA) enhances workflow efficiency by automating labware movement across the system deck. The deck supports 72 positions, accommodating diverse labware including plates, reservoirs, and carriers, and is configurable with multiple accessory nests such as DiTi racks and waste segments. This disposable tip system minimizes cross-contamination risks, making it ideal for sensitive applications such as PCR setup, next-generation sequencing (NGS) library preparation, ELISA, and cell-based assays.

Key features include:

This system is widely adopted in synthetic biology, gene editing, and biomanufacturing applications, where reliable, scalable liquid handling automation is essential. The Fluent 1080 supports a broad range of biotechnology research fields, including molecular cloning workflows and pharmacological assay development.

The instrument is serviced, calibrated, and tested with precision volume verification using Artel MVS technology to ensure reproducibility and accuracy. Optional on-site setup, training, and method development consulting are available, making it a turnkey solution for advanced life science laboratories.

By selecting a pre-owned Fluent 1080, laboratories benefit from a sustainable choice contributing to reduced environmental impact without compromising on technological performance or reliability.
