For laboratories performing Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA),  automation is a game-changer. The flow bot ONE liquid handling robot offers a solution to several key hurdles with running so many ELISAs, such as high variability, low throughput, and operator error. Automation eliminates these challenges. Plus, with intuitive drag-and-drop interface and no programming required, users can get started quickly and immediately experience the benefits of automation.

Key benefits for ELISA Applications:

• Ease of use: The flowbot ONE is designed for effortless operation, requiring no programming knowledge. It’s unique user-friendly drag-and-drop interface makes setup and execution simple compared to other liquid handling robots on the market, allowing  laboratories to optimise workflows without extensive training.

• Reduced human error: Automated pipetting eliminates common manual handling mistakes, such as incorrect volumes and inconsistent dispensing, ensuring greater accuracy and reliability.

• Precision and accuracy: The flowbot ONE ensures consistent pipetting for precise reagent addition and sample transfers, which is crucial for accurate ELISA results.

• Increased reproducibility: The robot maintains uniform sample preparation across different runs, improving result consistency and reliability.

• Minimised cross-contamination: With automated liquid handling, the risk of cross-contamination is significantly reduced, ensuring the integrity of your samples and results.

• Efficiency and time saving: The automation of repetitive tasks like reagent addition, washing, and sample loading reduces manual labour and speeds up ELISA workflows, allowing for faster processing of larger sample sizes.

• Customisable workflows: The flowbot ONE’s software enables flexible protocol design tailored to various ELISA formats, providing a high level of control over your assay's setup.

• Higher throughput: By automating the liquid handling process, the flowbot ONE increases throughput, allowing labs to handle more samples in a shorter time, improving productivity.

Why the flowbot ONE is perfect for ELISA success

The flowbot ONE is the ideal solution for automating ELISA workflows due to its versatility and cost-effectiveness.
