SPT Labtech firefly®
Accelerate genomic research with innovative all-in-one, compact liquid handling
Innovative all-in-one liquid handling brings together multiple technologies within a single compact design for more efficient library and sample preparation workflows and maximum output. Underpinned by powerful, intuitive software, firefly unlocks the potential of automation for all to accelerate genomic research.
SPT Labtech technologies transform the way scientists work in genomics with solutions trusted by leading academic centres, biopharmaceutical companies, and technology partners around the world. Our specialist team of application scientists work closely with you to ensure that the protocols for your applications are scientifically robust, giving you the confidence to implement new genomic liquid handling workflows.
firefly harnesses novel dispensing technology to minimize tip use, reduce reagent dead volumes, and miniaturize protocols allowing you to maximize your research output. Use 3 or 6 dragonfly tip options in any combination for ultimate dispensing speed and flexibility.
firefly sets a new standard in liquid handling software, simplifying automated workflows with a highly accessible user interface, log-in access control, and presumptive ‘intelligence’. The ability to author on any PC maximizes efficiency when in the lab, while full version management ensures a complete audit trail.

Our liquid handling portfolio provides you with accurate and repeatable nanolitre to microlitre pipetting and dispensing, every time, irrespective of liquid viscosity or environmental conditions.
We harness innovative technology to streamline workflows and accelerate research. Robust, reliable, and easy to use, our products overcome tough technical challenges and enable researchers to focus on the best science.
“We are excited to have created firefly, marking a step change towards a brighter future of genomics liquid handling. By democratizing access to intuitive, multi-functional automation, we will empower laboratories to drive even bigger genomic breakthroughs.”
