F.A.S.T.™ Liquid Handler

Precise Nanoliter Sample Transfers

The F.A.S.T. (Flow Axial Seal Tip) is a reliable and easy-to-use liquid transfer system designed to move any viscosity of liquid quickly with its one-of-a-kind positive displacement, 96-channel head. With its high accuracy, precision, and reliability for low volume sample transfers, the F.A.S.T. system saves researchers time and reduces reagent costs.

Benefits:

• Fast: Save time on your liquid transfers with the unique 96-tip head that can pick up both LV (13 µL) and HV (50 µL) tips.
• Flexible: Save on consumables by using your choice of 1, 8, 12, or 96 tips to transfer reagents between 96- and 384-well plates. Minimize interruptions for tip box replacement by getting optional storage for tip disposal.
• Versatile: Perform cherry-picking, serial dilutions, and plate copies (broadcast, mother-daughter transfers) with ease.
• Liquid Class Agnostic: Forget having to program liquid classes ever again; the positive displacement tips mitigate the effects of viscosity on accuracy.
• Compact: Save on lab space as the system’s small footprint allows for desktop use yet is open for integration with complementary automation.
• No Cross-Contamination: The positive displacement disposable tips ensure the integrity of your samples without any risk of cross-contamination.
• Smart: Conduct your transfers with confidence as the system features multiple state-of-the-art failsafes including tip position sensors, automatic tip arrangement, and ultra-sensitive collision detection.
• Automation-Friendly: F.A.S.T.'s software offers an open API for seamless integration, showcasing how effortlessly integratable it is.
• Biosafety Cabinet Compatible: With its compact dimensions (532 mm x 403 mm x 596 mm), the F.A.S.T. can be used in various biosafety cabinets to accommodate workflows that require this level of safety.
