Product description

High-precision Tecan Fluent 480 liquid handler with Span-8 Air FCA arm for automated, contamination-free biotech workflows.

The Tecan Fluent 480 Liquid Handler with Span-8 Air FCA is an advanced automated liquid handling workstation widely used in molecular diagnostics, genomics, proteomics, and biopharmaceutical research. Featuring a high-precision Span-8 air displacement pipetting arm, it accommodates volumes up to 1000 µL per channel with exceptional accuracy, ideal for applications such as NGS library preparation, PCR/qPCR setup, ELISA, and cell culture automation.

Key technical features include:

  • Automated liquid handling with disposable tips to prevent cross-contamination, critical in synthetic biology and gene editing workflows.
  • Flexible deck layout supporting multiple labware formats and integration of peripherals like thermal cyclers and magnetic extraction modules.
  • Configurable with additional accessories including shaking, cooling/heating positions, barcode readers, and robotic grippers for enhanced bioprocessing efficiency.
  • Controlled via the intuitive FluentControl software version 2.6, allowing precise workflow programming and method development consulting.
  • Includes preventive maintenance and validated aspiration/dispense accuracy tests to ensure performance reliability.

This system supports a range of laboratory disciplines, including biotechnology, clinical diagnostics, pharmaceutical development, and biomedical engineering, offering scalable throughput from small assays to high-throughput screening (HTS). The Fluent 480’s precision and automation streamline complex protocols, reducing manual labor and improving reproducibility in critical biomanufacturing and molecular cloning workflows.

Its modular design enables custom configurations for specialized applications, including automated serial dilutions, media exchange in cell culture, and reagent dispensing in drug discovery pipelines. The system’s robust engineering and comprehensive service options make it a dependable choice for research professionals demanding accuracy and flexibility in automated liquid handling solutions.

Why Questpair exists

Lab equipment markets are fragmented. Buyers spend weeks calling distributors, comparing quotes, and verifying supplier reliability. Sellers struggle to reach global research labs.

We built Questpair to fix this. Every supplier on the platform is verified before listing. Every quote you receive comes from a real, vetted seller. AI prepares your case in minutes, then a real specialist takes over.

We're an independent team based in The Netherlands, working with research labs and procurement teams across Europe and worldwide.

Frequently asked questions

How long does laboratory equipment typically last?

With a service contract, ten to fifteen years is normal for most benchtop instruments. Detectors and pumps are the parts that wear first.

Can I get service for older equipment?

Often, yes. Verified suppliers frequently work with service partners converting the instrument. If applicable, we can list servicing options alongside the offer.

Where can I buy parts?

Ask a scientist through the request button. Parts are often available even when the instrument itself is discontinued.

What is the typical lead time for refurbished equipment?

Two to six weeks, depending on refurbishment scope and whether calibration is included.

Does laboratory equipment ship internationally?

We ship to 38 countries. Crating and customs handling are quoted with the instrument.
