A helping hand in the lab
River Stone Biotech uses flowbot ONE every day
“At River Stone Biotech flowbot ONE has helped
us to automate a lot of pipetting tasks, which previously were done by hand; reformatting, cherry
picking, sample preparation, assay setup etc.”
tells Joan Thuun Hansen who is a senior laboratory technician at River Stone Biotech Aps in Copenhagen.
Joan Thuun Hansen and her team was looking for
a flexible as well as time saving solution to their
liquid handling and they hoped to find a system
that would allow them to start automating immediately.
“Several parametres motivated us to look for a flexible, time saving and easily implemented solution
to liquid handling in our lab, that can be operated
by all researchers in the lab and not only specially trained staff. What we needed was not only an
easy way to go from manual to automated pipetting, but also a solution that was precise, accurate
and could provide us with consistent results.”

With the decicion to use flowbot ONE for liquid
handling in their lab River Stone Biotech has experienced significant improvements of both reproducibility capacity, time savings and better work
environment.
Joan Thuun Hansen is happy with the outcomes:
“Flowbot ONE has freed up time for us to do other
tasks, which has been highly important. We have
now phased out some really tedious manual work,
while improving the health of our staff, which was a
great concern for us. Handling 384 well plates with
flowbot ONE is just so much easier and pipetting
mistakes are even eliminated. We are really happy
with this.”
The user-friendly software of flowbot ONE ensured
that the lab team at River Stone quickly started using the robot.
“Flowbot ONE is very intuitive to use. The training
of me and my colleagues on the machine went
smoothly and setting up programs has been easy
to do ourselves right from the beginning. We use
the robot practically every day.”
