Precise Nanoliter Sample Transfers
The F.A.S.T. (Flow Axial Seal Tip) is a reliable and easy-to-use liquid transfer system designed to move any viscosity of liquid quickly with its one of kind positive displacement, 96-channel head. With its high accuracy, precision, and reliability for low volume sample transfers, the F.A.S.T. system saves researchers time and reduces reagent costs.

Benefits
Fast: Save time on your liquid transfers with the unique 96-tip head
Flexible: Save on consumables by using your choice of 1, 8, 12, or 96 tips to transfer reagents between 96- and 384-well plates
Versatile: Perform cherry-picking, serial dilutions, and plate copies (broadcast, mother-daughter transfers) with ease
Liquid Class Agnostic: Forget having to program liquid classes ever again; the positive displacement tips mitigate the effects of viscosity on accuracy
Compact: Save on lab space as the system’s small footprint allows for desktop use yet is open for integration with complementary automation
Zero Cross-Contamination: The positive displacement disposable tips ensure the integrity of your samples without any risk of cross-contamination
Smart: Conduct your transfers with confidence as the system features multiple state-of-the-art failsafes including tip position sensors, automatic tip arrangement, and collision detection
Best in Class Performance without the Risk of Contamination
With positive displacement pipette tips, the precision of the F.A.S.T. is not affected by the types of liquid samples that are being transferred. Without the need to account for each liquid class, less time is needed to set up your experiment, while greater accuracy and precision are achieved. The disposable tips ensure the integrity of your samples while preventing any cross-contamination.

Meet the F.A.S.T. - Liquid Handler
"I have worked with Daniel and his team at FORMULATRIX in testing the F.A.S.T. for qPCR quantification. I really like the instrument in its precision and accuracy with low volumes, which has been very helpful for setting up qPCR SYBR runs."

Control Your Experiment Setup with Removable Decks
Interchangeable decks allow researchers to set up their tips, plates, and reagents prior to working on the instrument. The customizable decks reduce the time needed for experiment setup and reduce the chances of sample misplacement. Each removable deck is barcoded so the system knows what item (sample, labware, tips, etc.) is located at each of the positions.
Easy to Use Software for Any Level of User
The software was designed for any user to walk up to the system and begin running experiments. This is truly automation for everyone in the lab:
- Go from zero to running experiments in minutes
- Very shallow learning curve for new users
- No need for programming, writing, or understanding difficult software coding languages
- Import .csv files for fast experiment design
