The firefly^® Liquid Handling System Impact

Innovative all-in-one liquid handling brings together multiple technologies within a single compact design for more efficient library and sample preparation workflows and maximum output. Underpinned by powerful, intuitive software, firefly unlocks the potential of automation for all to accelerate genomic research.

All-in-One Liquid Handling

firefly simplifies your genomic liquid handling workflows, combining pipetting, dispensing, incubating, and shaking technologies within an ingenious all-in-one solution.

Space-Saving Compact Design

firefly’s compact, streamlined design makes intelligent use of precious laboratory footprint, allowing you to do more genomics research with less space. The best things do come in small packages.

Peer-to-Peer Cloud-Based Collaboration

firefly connects researchers and inspires bigger breakthroughs through a first-in-class peer-to-peer cloud-based network. Share custom protocols and swiftly access validated tools to deepen collaboration and accelerate innovation.

Powerful, User-Friendly Software

firefly sets a new standard in powerful liquid handling software. Its intuitive interface unlocks the potential of automation for all, putting you in control of your workflows without the need for complex programming.

Boost Efficiency and Flexibility with Novel Dispensing Technology

firefly harnesses novel dispensing technology to minimise tip use, reduce reagent dead volumes, and miniaturise protocols, allowing you to maximise your research output. Use 3 or 6 dragonfly tip options in any combination for ultimate dispensing speed and flexibility.

Accurate and Precise Pipetting for Genomics Research

firefly delivers highly accurate and precise air displacement pipetting in the 0.5 µL to 125 µL range, accommodating a variety of 96 or 384 well plate formats. Automated tip loading streamlines time-consuming processes, and flexible column loading makes it easier for researchers to manage partial plates or partitioning of plates.

Setting A New Standard for Software

firefly sets a new standard in liquid handling software, simplifying automated workflows with a highly accessible user interface, log-in access control, and presumptive ‘intelligence.’ The ability to author on any PC maximises efficiency when in the lab, while full version management ensures a complete audit trail.
