Tecan announces the Phase Separator, a pressure-based capability of the pipetting arm of the Fluent liquid handling platform, which detects interfaces between liquid layers while aspirating. It is suitable for removing the plasma phase from a centrifuged blood sample and requires no optical line of sight to the sample, unlike camera-based systems. Automation helps ensure efficiency and consistent results regardless of label positioning. The product can process eight samples in parallel per arm while a dual arm option enables 16 tubes simultaneously.
