FluentControl-2

One great software, two powerful interfaces Designed for those who ‘press go’, daily activities such as running assays and routine maintenance become as straightforward as using the smartphone in your pocket. Users intuitively know what to do next. The Fluent® and Fluent Gx are powerful automation platforms, yet FluentControl keeps it simple with TouchTools™, a dedicated operator interface on the touchscreen of the instrument itself. Everyday interactions – such as starting a run, entering key values and reacting to user prompts – are cleanly presented, delivering user-friendly operation without...

FluentControl-3

FluentControl is designed to empower scientists to build, optimize and maintain their own assays, without the need for computer programming expertise. By separating everyday work from the configuration of new assays, Tecan has created ideal tools for both, without compromise. Users can simply drag and drop commands to create a protocol, using the 3D editor to configure their worktable elements and labware. A built-in auto-context check reviews the scripts as you create them – offering help if something might not work – and you can even preview your finished protocol in a 3D simulator, without...

FluentControl-4

Is it possible to customize the system? If the hardware can do it, FluentControl can control it. Creating custom labware and carriers is easy. With Zero-G positioning, you can simply slide the arm to the desired location by hand, then click ‘transfer’ in the editor, and FluentControl will know exactly where it is. Need to control a special device? FluentControl is ready for that too. Any SiLA-ready device can be controlled with the default driver. Tecan has an extensive driver library available for other modules. FluentControl also offers easy interaction with external programs. Execute applications...

FluentControl-6

A detailed, secure and audit-ready log of all actions for each sample is generated, which can be automatically uploaded to your LIMS. Assured data integrity FluentControl’s electronic records help laboratories to meet stringent regulatory standards for data security – such as those defined by FDA 21 CFR Part 11 – by providing protected copies of scripts, methods, carrier and labware definitions, liquid classes, and system configurations. Each file has a checksum to guarantee data integrity, and an optional electronic signatures function provides a detailed record of any changes made. For maximum...
