Why DFMZ

Why DFMZ for TECAN?

TECAN Fluent and EVO platforms run precise, high-throughput liquid handling workflows that depend on a controlled environment around the deck. DFMZ engineers positive and negative bonnets, benchtop enclosures, and walk-in enclosures around each platform's exact footprint, robotic gripper arm configuration, and process class, without compromising deck access or throughput. Every DFMZ bonnet ships with pre-installed LED lighting as standard.

      FAQ

      Frequently Asked Questions

      Common questions about DFMZ solutions for TECAN platforms.

      Yes. DFMZ engineers bonnets, benchtop enclosures, and walk-in enclosures to the exact footprint and airflow requirements of TECAN platforms, including the Fluent 480, Fluent 780, Fluent 1080, and EVO 100/150/200.
      It depends on whether the priority is product protection or operator and environmental protection. Positive bonnets protect the product, while negative bonnets protect the operator and environment. Use the solution finder above to confirm the recommended configuration for your instrument.
      A Positive Airflow Bonnet supplies HEPA-filtered air across the deck to protect the product or sample, which is a product protection strategy. A Negative Airflow Bonnet draws air away from the operator and exhausts it, which protects personnel and the surrounding environment.
      Yes. Every DFMZ bonnet and enclosure is engineered to instrument dimensions, airflow specification, and facility constraints rather than sold as a fixed catalogue unit. Standard and extended bonnet configurations accommodate different robotic gripper arm configurations.
      DFMZ enclosures for TECAN platforms, available as walk-in or benchtop, are engineered to support Class I, Class II A1/A2, and Class II B1/B2 applications, depending on the process requirements around the instrument.
      Yes. DFMZ offers on-site installation, integration, and airflow verification for TECAN enclosures and bonnets, from site assessment through operator handover.
