Flow cytometry (FCM) is a fluorescence-based detection technology that utilizes laser beams to analyze single-cell liquid streams in motion. This method allows for the rapid, precise evaluation of cells and their intracellular complexities. FCM is essential for quantifying, characterizing, and analyzing cellular heterogeneity, playing a vital role in various research fields, clinical diagnosis, and treatment, including immunology, cell biology, and biochemistry. The automated FCM analysis system from Galatek can continuously load samples to meet the demands for high throughput testing in the laboratory.

Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (qPCR) is commonly utilized in various applications, including disease diagnosis, food safety testing, and quantitative molecular biology research. Traditional qPCR analysis typically takes 1 to 2 hours, and the throughput for sample detection is limited. When handling large batches of samples, the tedious tasks of manual plate replacement and data collection can hinder efficiency in analysis. The automated qPCR analysis system incorporates a flexible and safe four-axis collaborative robotic arm. This system features automatic data integration, which ensures high levels of automation and minimizes contamination risk during unattended qPCR experiments.

Microplate dispensing and sealing, which is a routine step in biological experiments, is widely used in scenarios such as PCR/qPCR, ELISA, strain culture, and sample grinding. An automated reagent dispensing and sealing system can efficiently dispense reagents into 96- or 384-well plates. It features adaptive sealing for plates of varying heights and can accommodate different consumables for various applications. This system enables the automated operation of high-throughput reagent dispensing.

Immediate Drop-on-Demand Technology (I.DOT) is a patented method designed to optimize non-contact liquid handling tasks. It is particularly useful in various research fields, including high-throughput screening, library preparation, microfluidics, genomics, and magnetic bead dispensing. This automated nanoliter pipetting system allows for the precise pipetting of multiple batches of target plates continuously, minimizing the need for manual intervention. As a result, it significantly enhances both the efficiency and accuracy of the experiments. I.DOT effectively meets the high-throughput and high-speed liquid handling demands in the laboratory.
