FluidFM® systems


Go beyond in single cell manipulation.

Perform unprecedented single cell experiments with our FluidFM systems. 

All our FluidFM systems are compatible with the full FluidFM probe range and can perform all three basic FluidFM modes: Pick & Place, Injection & Sampling and Localized Dispensing. Depending on your specific application and automatization needs, and whether you already have a compatible AFM, you may choose the FluidFM ADD-ON or FluidFM OMNIUM (formerly called FluidFM BOT). Check the table below if you are uncertain which system is the best choice for you.
