Firefly Genomics

The USDA APHIS is conducting market research to identify potential sources for a FireFly Genomics system with an ATL head and expansion module. The system must have specific features such as a true positive displacement system for liquid handling, non-contact dispensing, and precision pipetting. The system should also be compatible with Windows devices and have a user-friendly interface. • The system must be able to automatically switch between different formats for flexibility. • The system must be compatible with key workflows and certified methods for Illumina DNA prep. • The system must have a large quantity tip air-displacement pipetting head and be able to work with a wide variety of well plates. • The system must have precision pipetting, non-contact positive displacement dispensing, incubation, shaking, and on-deck plate handling in a single compact benchtop instrument.
