The 3 Pillars of Flexibility
Flexibility—it’s a buzzword you’ve probably heard from every robotics company out there. But flexibility can mean wildly different things depending on who you ask. So, when we say the flowbot ONE liquid handler is among the most flexible solutions on the market, we mean something specific.
Let’s break down the flowbot ONE’s 3 pillars of flexibility and explore how this can transform your lab workflows.
Modify Existing Protocols Easily
Science evolves, and so should your automation. That’s why the Flowbot ONE lets you tweak protocols effortlessly whenever your needs change.
Updating an existing program is as simple as clicking “Edit.”
Whether you need to adjust labware, pipetting moves, volumes, incubation times, or special features, simply use the intuitive drag-and-drop to make changes.
This video shows you how to change a component.
Adapt to Multiple Protocols and Applications
The flowbot ONE is a multitasker, designed to juggle different protocols.
Got several workflows? No problem.
Just select your desired program, move the labware to the corresponding positions on the robot’s deck, and hit “Run.”
That’s it—the Flowbot ONE takes over from there.
This versatility makes it the perfect fit for labs handling multiple applications or agile workflows.

It’s very easy to switch between the protocols so we can use it for most of our pipetting. Having such a flexible robot is key to keeping our workflow efficient and simple. We didn’t have to change a lot when we implemented the robot. It just does it for us and then that’s it.
Evolve with Your Lab’s Needs
The flowbot ONE is built to grow with you, making it easy to repurpose for new workflows.
Creating a fresh protocol requires no coding or scripting — just set up your labware, choose your pipetting tasks, and press “Run.”
And if you need additional modules, devices, or labware to handle new applications, we’ve got you covered with great application support.
This video illustrates how you can rearrange your pipetting moves.
