What “drag & drop” programming means to us
Drag, Drop, and Go
You’ve probably heard the term “drag and drop” tossed around when people talk about user-friendly pipetting robots.
But what does it actually look like?
Well, that depends which company you ask.
On the flowbot ONE, drag and drop means you can easily set up protocols without any coding, making automation simple and accessible for everyone in your lab.
Programme without scripting and coding
At its core, drag and drop is a software feature designed to eliminate coding and scripting entirely. While many solutions claim to offer this, not all deliver that experience you’d expect.
The flowbot ONE, however, stands out by providing one of the most intuitive drag-and-drop interfaces available.
Here’s how it works on the flowbot ONE:
- Select labware: Use a dropdown menu to choose your labware, then drag it onto your deck, which is visualized in the software.
- Set up pipetting steps: Simply click on your source and target, then drag to define your pipetting moves.
- Edit with ease: If you need to rearrange your protocol, just drag your labware or pipetting steps to a new position.
What Drag & Drop Means for Your Lab
With drag-and-drop programming on the flowbot ONE, lab automation becomes approachable, adaptable, and stress-free. It’s not just a feature—it’s the key to unlocking new possibilities for your workflows.
Here’s how it transforms your lab:
- Empowers every user: Whether you’re an automation expert or a first-time user, anyone in the lab can set up, edit, and run protocols.
- Supports versatility: Easily switch between protocols or repurpose the robot for different applications without complicated reprogramming.
- Eliminates coding errors: By removing scripting, drag and drop ensures no coding mistakes derail your experiments.
The flowbot® ONE is by far the easiest robot I’ve ever programmed.
