firefly is a benchtop instrument optimized for performing genomics liquid handling workflows. There are genomics and non-genomics variants, and a choice of 3 or 6 dispensing heads.
It features a 384 air displacement pipetting head and positive displacement dispense heads, with reagent temperature control from an optional reservoir thermal module, to provide flexible, high performance approaches to a range of applications such as NGS library prep and PCR set up.
A two tier moving deck system, with an additional basement level optionally equipped with a plate shaker and plate thermal module, enables firefly to carry out multiple protocol steps with fewer user interactions.
firefly is available with an optional vertical laminar flow module with HEPA filter.
The optional firefly+ module expands firefly's plate handling capability, enabling longer and more complex protocols to be run without user interactions. firefly+ can include a thermocycler, to more fully support NGS applications.
