      Handling

      Liquid handling is an essential part of laboratory processes around the world. The ability to manipulate liquid samples and reagents with increased accuracy, speed, and efficiency opens the possibility for huge productivity gains. 

      Revolutionizing Your Liquid Handling

      Lab scientists no longer need to spend hours at the bench, manually measuring and dispensing reagents. Across many applications, researchers are opting to replace laborious handheld pipetting with automated solutions to drive research efficiency, improve data quality and enhance lab safety. By adopting state-of-the-art liquid handling solutions, scientists can produce consistently accurate results while minimizing risk of human errors and potential occupational hazards, such as repetitive strain injuries and exposure to harmful liquids. 

      Whether you operate on a nanolitre, microlitre or millilitre scale, we have developed a suite of robotic liquid handling solutions that provide a cost-effective way to streamline everyday tasks and increase walk-away time. 

      Whatever you’re hoping to achieve, whether it’s automating simple tasks or managing complex workflows – we have liquid handler for you. 

       

      Accelerate Genomics Research

      Over the past few decades, the field of genomics has undergone a revolutionary transformation, leading to a deeper understanding of health and disease. The introduction of Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) has enabled scientists to obtain sequencing data at a higher scale and lower cost. Traditionally, NGS library preparation is often seen as a bottleneck in the workflow, consisting of many highly repetitive and sometimes complex pipetting tasks, but this has been transformed with the advent of automated liquid handling technology.

      firefly, the perfect solution

      Our firefly liquid handling instrument has been designed specifically to streamline NGS sample and library preparation. It brings together the capabilities of multiple instruments into a single compact design, including pipetting, dispensing, incubating and shaking, so you can be sure you’re making the most of precious samples, reagents, and laboratory space. Setting up protocols is easy through firefly’s powerful, intuitive software, and the ability to author and share to any PC through the cloud makes automation truly accessible to all. 

      The firefly liquid handling instrument provides researchers with all the automated liquid handling tools they need for fast and reliable NGS library preparation. Centered around our innovative positive displacement dispensing technology, firefly can handle even the most volatile or viscous liquids, and magnetic beads, without any compromise to speed or accuracy. The pipetting functionality offers complete versatility across 96 and 384 well plates, so you can drive throughput across a range of genomics liquid handling tasks such as magnetic bead clean up, PCR and qCPR setup, DNA quantification and normalization, and sample pooling, with significantly reduced hands-on time. 

      Deliver Accurate Dispensing

      Although a simple concept, liquid dispensing is an ideal candidate for automation. By transitioning away from a menial, hand-held approach, automated systems significantly improve the accuracy and efficiency of liquid dispensing, whilst also alleviating the environmental footprint of your laboratory with reduced pipette tip use.

      dragonfly, accuracy every time

      Our dragonfly liquid dispensers deliver accurate and consistent non-contact nanoliter to milliliter reagent dispensing. They are completely liquid-class agnostic thanks to our innovative positive displacement technology, making them compatible with a wide range of applications across molecular biology, drug discovery and genomics. Simple to run and low-maintenance, dragonfly provides an optimal user experience every time. 

      Whatever volumes or liquid classes you work with, dragonfly's accurate dispensing capabilities make it an essential tool for any laboratory looking to improve efficiency in reagent addition. Its non-contact dispensing technology means that a single pipette can be used across multiple plates and experiments for each reagent, drastically reducing consumables waste. A truly versatile instrument, dragonfly can not only enable miniaturization, but also increase productivity reagent dispensing for genomics workflows, assay development, cell culture, functional genomics, proteomics, and structural biology.
