SLAS 2025: Analytik Jena Unveils New Variable Pipetting Head Series for the CyBio FeliX Liquid Handling Platform
San Diego / Jena, January 16, 2025 – At this year’s SLAS in San Diego, Analytik Jena, a global leader in automation solutions and analytical measurement technology, presents an advancement of its pipetting head, the SELECT Head. The new module for the CyBio FeliX Liquid Handling Platform is even more flexible, accelerates workflows such as hit picking and normalization, and simplifies complex transfers. With the addition of the SELECT head the CyBio FeliX becomes an enhanced fully automated sample preparation solution.
The interchangeable CyBio FeliX pipetting heads are the core of the CyBio FeliX Liquid Handling Performance and are now complemented by the new SELECT Head series. The new CyBio FeliX SELECT Head with its 8 independent channels can process 8 different wells with just one tip loading. Additionally, each channel of the SELECT Head is completely volume-independent. The SELECT Head aspirates 8 different volumes of sample and diluent in one transfer, allowing samples to be quickly normalized to the correct concentration and volume.
Up-to 8 Times Faster for Hit Picking, Normalization, and Pooling
Labor-intensive processes such as hit picking, normalization, and pooling are up to 8 times faster than with a single tip. You can pick up to 8 hits, normalize 8 samples, or combine multiple reagents in a single fluid motion without changing tips. This reliably avoids bottlenecks in the liquid handling workflow caused by slow pipetting.
Ready-to-Use Applications
The new SELECT Head also simplifies complex transfers by enabling execution directly from CSV files, freeing lab personnel from complicated programming. The workflows include basic data processing and reporting, as well as options for custom processing and calculations.
Enhanced Customization Options
With a volume range of 1 μL to 1000 μL, the CyBio FeliX SELECT Head family is designed for a wide range of applications. Customers can choose the head with the optimal range for their application field. Variable channels accommodate different liquid volumes, simplifying sample handling, while the SELECT Head can be quickly reconfigured for different patterns or plate types. This increased flexibility offers users efficient automation tailored to their specific requirements.
The outstanding performance of the CyBio FeliX SELECT Head, combined with the small footprint of the CyBio FeliX, provides a compact yet powerful solution for complex liquid handling.
Detailed information about the capabilities of the new CyBio FeliX SELECT Head can be found here.
Visit us at SLAS 2025, Booth No. 1419, and experience the CyBio FeliX SELECT Head in action. Our experts will be there to demonstrate the various applications and benefits of this innovative device.

Joint Exhibitor Tutorial Analytik Jena x Promega
Don’t miss our joint Exhibitor Tutorial with Promega, taking place on Monday, January 27, 2025, from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM in Room 25A. Experts Terry Riss (Promega) and Anne Koch (Analytik Jena) will talk about „Automating Promega’s Cell-Based Assays with the CyBio Felix: Enhancing Precision and Efficiency“.
In this tutorial, we will explore Promega’s portfolio of homogeneous cell-based assays and demonstrate how they can be multiplexed to provide deeper insights. Specific examples include simultaneous measurement of live and dead cells and the ADCC assay (antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity). We will cover the core principles of these assays, their practical applications, and guide you step-by-step through the automation process using the CyBio Felix platform.
Discover how the CyBio Felix, a flexible liquid-handling system, can streamline processes such as cell distribution, serial dilutions, and reagent additions with unmatched precision and reproducibility. Learn how automating these tasks with the CyBio Felix minimizes variability, reduces human error, and increases the efficiency and throughput of your experimental workflows. This tutorial is ideal for laboratory professionals seeking reliable automation solutions for their cell-based research. Let us show you how the CyBio Felix can transform your assays and elevate your lab’s performance.
