Tecan has reshaped liquid handling and process automation with Fluent, an exceptional instrumentation concept providing a choice of workstation capacities, and robotics, liquid handling and application options to suit the process-specific needs of your laboratory.
Fluent offers new opportunities to laboratories looking for state-of-the-art automation to:
Increase productivity
Streamline workflows
Optimize assay precision and consistency
Relieve operators from repetitive tasks
The systems fully modular, open architecture allows each instrument to be individually configured with robotic arms for pipetting and labware movement, helping laboratories to meet throughput, cost saving and productivity targets.
Intended Use:
The Fluent is a fully automated laboratory liquid handling platform for general laboratory use. It is intended for routine laboratory tasks, such as pipetting, liquid handling, and robotic manipulation of labware in certain test procedures.
The Fluent is used for pipetting tasks with robotic arms. The robotic arms can aspirate from and dispense to various containers, such as sample tubes or microplates.
Segments
The Fluent deck, which is the sample zone of the instrument, is composed of segments. Deck segments are interchangeable deck components that can have various dimensions and features. CAUTION! Do not operate the system without deck segments.
Grid Number
The segment width is expressed in grid numbers. A grid is 25 mm wide and corresponds to the distance between the positioning pins of a segment. Grid numbers are also used for expressing the location of segments or runners on the deck.
