Phase Separator™
Phase Separator is a unique, new pipetting capability on the Fluent® Automation Workstation. This patented liquid separation technology can detect liquid-liquid interfaces and effectively separate neighbor phases while avoiding contamination. Suitable for removing the plasma phase from a centrifuged blood sample, it delivers up to double the speed of camera-based systems for plasma separation.
Time is crucial, precision is non-negotiable, and each sample may hold life-changing information.
With the Phase Separator on the Fluent® liquid handling platform, process more samples in less time without compromising accuracy. Suitable for removing the plasma phase from a centrifuged blood sample, Phase Separator is a unique, pressure-based capability of the pipetting arm. It detects interfaces between liquid layers while aspirating.
Automation helps ensure consistent results, part of enabling faster, more precise analysis. Regardless of your operation's size, Phase Separator stands up to the task, giving labs the throughput they need while handling samples regardless of label positioning.
Precision
- Accurate and precise liquid phase detection
- Phase detection inside the tube
- No optical line of sight to the sample needed for the phase detection unlike camera-based systems
Efficiency
- No wasted time moving tubes or analyzing images
- Process eight samples in parallel per arm. Dual arm option enables 16 tubes at the same time
- Plasma separation for 24 samples under 10 min* per arm
*Timing is volume dependent. Time given for separation volumes of 5 ml.
