- Equipped with our image analysis software VisualSpreadsheet®
FlowCam ALH – Automatic Liquid Handling System :
The FlowCam® Automated Liquid Handling system from Yokogawa Fluid Imaging Technologies integrates with the FlowCam® 8000 for uninterrupted processing of samples. The system allows up to 288 samples to be queued for unattended operation, improved repeatability, and increased productivity.
FlowCam® ALH Benefits:
- Pre-analysis sample preparation can be programmed using easy-to-use graphical and menu-driven operations.
- Heating and cooling features allow sample conditioning and control of sample degradation and evaporation during the processing.
- System is self-contained to protect against outside contamination and accidental disturbance of samples.
- Vertical architecture saves valuable bench space while a monitor provides access to current system status and review of workflows for both instruments.
- Uses standard SBS format labware that can be deployed on any of the general-purpose locations.
