Agri-genomic research

is being driven by the need to improve crop yields and animal breeding to feed the growing global population.

This creates a demand for ever-faster, more powerful technologies offering higher sample throughput, multiplexing capabilities and increased automation and reliability, as well as solutions to deal with the complex polyploid genomes of many plant species.

Nucleic acid extraction

Tecan Fluent

Advances in gene editing and screening solutions are enabling agricultural researchers and crop companies alike to ramp up their research into improving plant traits. The extraction of plant nucleic acids is at the heart of these efforts, and selecting the right solution for your magnetic bead- or filter-based purification workflow is essential. Tecan offers scalable solutions to match your throughput needs, with the flexibility to process random access samples, 96- and 384-well formats as required.

Sample reformatting and tracking

Veterinary diagnostic laboratories process thousands of samples daily, where efficiency, accuracy and cost control are operational requirements rather than aspirations.

The Tecan Fluent addresses these demands through a combination of deliberate design choices.

Lower costs. Less waste.

Fixed tips eliminate disposable consumable costs and, at the throughput volumes typical of veterinary screening programmes, the cumulative saving is significant.

The same fixed-tip architecture also reduces plastic waste, aligning operational efficiency with sustainability targets without additional effort.

Integrated workflow. Maximum protection.

Sample distribution, reformatting and archiving are managed within a single integrated workflow.

The Mix and Pierce module extends this further, enabling direct aspiration from closed primary tubes. For laboratories handling suspect zoonotic samples, this is a meaningful safety gain built into the workflow rather than added on top of it.

Full traceability. Complete confidence.

Full traceability and data integrity are maintained automatically at each step, meeting the documentation requirements of accredited veterinary diagnostic laboratories.

Intuitive. Scalable. Reliable.

The interface is designed for laboratories where operators handle automation as part of a broader scientific role.

Workflows are intuitive and the system scales consistently from routine daily runs to surge capacity during outbreak screening.

For veterinary laboratories where sample handling represents the core of daily throughput, Fluent consolidates the critical requirements — cost control, operator safety, traceability, sustainability and operational continuity — into one platform.

If you're looking to automate veterinary testing workflows, Tecan can help you identify the right solution based on your sample types and throughput requirements. Contact us to explore scalable systems that support reliability, traceability and compliance in your lab.

Robotic systems for AMR monitoring at scale – Watch the webinar

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major global issue in livestock. National AMR data often lack herd-level detail, making it challenging for veterinarians to apply them to on-farm treatment and control strategies. Watch the webinar to see how robotic multiplatform integration supports scalable, cost-effective AMR monitoring.
