The HTA has secured funding through an NIH S10 grant to purchase a new robotic liquid handling system. Replacing the Biomek FX liquid handlers, the new Fluent is due to be installed in mid-November.
Fluent was designed to meet the needs of various life science workflows, such as high throughput genomics, by combining high precision liquid handling – down to 200 nl – with straightforward set-up of normalization, sample transfer and reagent distribution using Smart Commands. Its freely configurable architecture allows rapid integration of devices for DNA quantification and processing, and offers exceptional storage capacity for plates and tips.
