“When we used to manually pipette, I had a lot of back pains from sitting in a fixed position and having to do the same arm movement repeatedly throughout the day, so it really is a game changer in many ways.”

“Hands-on time have been reduced from 2:15 hours to 20 min when running up to 8 biomarkers simultaneously in the lab. It also allowed us to increase the throughput from 4-5 ELISA plates to 6-8 plates per technician and reduce pipetting injuries.”

“To load a 96 well plate manually took me about 45 minutes. With the flowbot I do it in about 10 minutes. Previously we did around 3 plates per day, but we have been able to scale up to 6 plates per day by automating, and thus doubled our throughput. We could do many more if we did not have to wait for the PCR machine to finish.

“We experience a faster turn-around time – 30 % faster now. The patients get the results much sooner than before we automated our procedures.”

“The flowbot® ONE was definitely the easiest instrument to integrate because of its very simple API”

“I can run 8 plates per day now and have managed to double my throughput, mainly due to increased walk-away time. I can focus on other things such as research or analysis while flowbot® ONE does the pipetting. Or I can use the time to prepare for the next run so I can do the clean-ups in close succession.”

“From our point of view, the best feature in the flowbot® ONE is that it is able to transfer from 96-well plates into 384-well plates. That was the feature that drove us towards it and, because it has 12 areas for the plates, it gives us a lot of flexibility around what operations we can perform on the plates.”

“Our flow is more efficient because we can do other things, such as prepare the next racks, while the robot is working. This frees up a lot of our time.”

“It increased the speed of throughput so much that we have a pile of experiments to evaluate afterwards. That would never have happened without the flowbot® ONE”
