61832pr@reply-direct.com Optimising liquid handling for NGS-based laboratory developed tests
SPT Labtech, a global leader in automated life science instrumentation, has introduced significant upgrades to its firefly® genomics liquid handling platform, catering specifically to the demands of Laboratory Developed Tests (LDTs) involved in Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) library preparation.
Launched in February 2022, the firefly platform has been instrumental in revolutionising NGS library preparation for genomics researchers. By consolidating precise pipetting, non-contact reagent dispensing, shaking, and incubating into a compact benchtop design, firefly automates repetitive liquid handling tasks, elevating laboratory throughput and enhancing the quality of output data.
Key to its efficiency is the integrated positive displacement non-contact dispensing capability, requiring significantly less reagent dead volume compared to competing automation solutions. The firefly platform not only ensures fast and accurate liquid handling but also provides access to SPT Labtech’s dedicated reliance® service and support team for sustained high-throughput operations and assistance in new protocol development.

Ultrasonic fl owmeter offers ASCII fl ow streaming
Titan, a leading liquid flow meter specialist, has continuously advanced its ultrasonic technology, resulting in a range of ultrasonic flow meters and numerous patents encompassing signal processing techniques and innovative mechanical design. The Atrato® series, Titan’s most versatile ultrasonic inline flow meters, now offers ASCII flow streaming via USB, enhancing its adaptability for specific applications, alongside its existing data logging and diagnostic capabilities.
The Atrato® flow meters, owing to their sophisticated ultrasonic technology and proprietary embedded signal processing software, ensure precise measurement of both viscous and non- viscous liquids. This versatility is essential for a wide range of applications.
Neil Hannay, Senior R&D Engineer at Titan Enterprises, highlights the significance of the USB connectivity: “The device’s USB connection gives the Atrato® flowmeter computer interface capability, enabling the user to directly monitor the flow rate being measured and alter the operating parameters using a laptop PC. ASCII flow streaming capability has been a logical next step in the advancement of these ultrasonic flowmeters.”
The addition of ASCII flow streaming enables the real-time output of liquid flow data in human- readable text form (ASCII encoded) at a rate of 10-20 times per second. This data stream can be readily interpreted and processed by software running on the USB host.
The advantages of ASCII streaming are threefold: Flow measurements are directly streamed to the PC over the USB connection; No additional pulse counting or analogue interface devices are necessary; Flow measurements can be seamlessly integrated into the user’s software system, such as LabVIEW.
Titan’s Atrato® ultrasonic flow meters find applications in low flow scenarios, precision process control, laboratory processes, and chemical dosing. They are increasingly valuable in petrochemical processes, with approximately 40% of ultrasonic flow meter sales attributed to the oil & gas industry, refining, and chemicals.
Utilising Titan’s patented ‘time-of-flight’ ultrasonic technology, Atrato® flow meters offer unmatched accuracy across a flow range spanning from 2 ml/ minute to 20 litres/minute. With a non-intrusive design, robust electronics, and Titan’s unique algorithms, the Atrato® sets the benchmark for signal processing flow measurement systems, boasting a maintenance-free, long-lasting, and repeatable solution.
