Analytik Jena Introduces New Variable Pipetting Head Series for the CyBio FeliX Liquid Handling Platform

Jena, February 5, 2025 – Analytik Jena, a leading global provider of automation solutions and analytical metrology, presents an enhanced pipetting head, the new SELECT Head. The new module for the CyBio FeliX Liquid Handling Platform is even more flexible, accelerates workflows such as hit picking and normalization, and simplifies complex transfers. With the SELECT Head, the CyBio FeliX becomes a solution for fully automated sample preparation.

The interchangeable CyBio FeliX pipetting heads – the heart of the CyBio FeliX Liquid Handling Performance – are now complemented by the new SELECT Head series. The new CyBio FeliX SELECT Head with its 8 independent channels can process 8 different wells with just one tip configuration. In addition, each channel of the SELECT Head is completely volume-independent. The SELECT Head sucks in 8 different volumes of sample and thinner in one transfer, allowing samples to be quickly normalized to the correct concentration and volume.

 

Up to 8x faster for hit picking, normalization and pooling

Labor-intensive processes such as hit picking, normalization, and pooling are up to 8 times faster than with a single tip. You can record up to 8 hits, normalize 8 samples, or merge multiple reagents in a single fluid motion without having to change tips. Bottlenecks in the liquid handling workflow, such as pipetting that is too slow, are thus reliably avoided.

Ready-to-use applications

The new SELECT Head also simplifies complex transfers by allowing execution directly from CSV files, freeing laboratory staff from complicated programming. Workflows include basic data processing and reporting, but also options such as custom processing and calculations.

 

Advanced customization options

With a total volume range of 1 μL to 1000 μL, the CyBio FeliX SELECT Head family is designed for a wide range of applications. Depending on the field of application, the customer selects the head with the optimal range for him. Variable channels provide space for different volumes of liquid, simplifying sample handling, while the SELECT head can be quickly reshaped into different patterns or plate types. This increased flexibility offers users efficient automation that is individually tailored to their requirements.

 

The outstanding performance of the CyBio FeliX SELECT Head combined with the tiny footprint of the CyBio FeliX provides a small but powerful solution for complex liquid handling.
