Welcome to the online help for FLO i8. The FLO i8 is an intelligent liquid handler that provides you with the combination of sensor technology, high-performance pipetting, and intuitive software. It can be used in the simplest liquid handling tasks to the most complex workFLOws in your lab.
The FLO i8 system features 8 independent spanning channels which accommodate a volume range from 0.5-1000 μL. With the intelligent channels, intuitive FLO i8 software, variative experiment modes, and real-time progress monitoring, simply put your labware on the deck, and let the FLO i8 handle the rest.
The FLO i8 is equipped with dynamic liquid level tracking sensors that allow you to execute experiments without prior definition of labware well profiles and volumes. Compatible with any SBS footprint labware, FLO i8 uses tip touch sensors to detect the bottom or sides of the well. These sensors can also detect collisions with only 30 grams of force and the position of the pipette tip is repeatable to within 50 microns.
