FLO i8® Positive Displacement Liquid Handling System

Description

FORMULATRIX's FLO i8 system is an automated liquid handling platform that employs positive displacement technology. This approach allows the instrument to pipette a wide range of reagents without being constrained by pre-defined liquid classes, a feature described as liquid class agnostic. The positive displacement mechanism provides enhanced accuracy and precision, especially when handling challenging liquids like viscous, volatile, or foamy solutions that can compromise the performance of air displacement pipettes. The system is applied in workflows such as assay development, Design of Experiment (DoE) setup, and enzyme-related assays, offering reliable liquid transfer for sensitive cell culture and biological research applications.
