Copia Scientific стала официальным дистрибьютором швейцарских флуориметров HSE•AG для лабораторий США и Канады

This partnership brings Hombrechtikon Systems Engineering AG (HSE•AG)'s eviFluor Duo Fluorometer and eviDense UV Photometer to laboratories across the United States and Canada, with Copia Scientific providing automation, integration, and service expertise to support their implementation. Copia Scientific, a provider of laboratory automation, equipment, integration, and service solutions, today announced a new distribution agreement with HSE•AG, a Swiss developer and manufacturer of laboratory instrumentation. Under the agreement, Copia Scientific will serve as an authorized distributor of HSE•AG's eviFluor Duo Fluorometer, eviDense UV Photometer, and associated accessories and consumables throughout the United States and Canada. The partnership expands Copia Scientific's PlateCentric laboratory automation portfolio with compact, on-deck measurement technologies designed to bring nucleic acid quantification directly into automated liquid handling workflows. "By bringing HSE•AG's measurement technology together with our automation and integration capabilities, we can help laboratories reduce manual intervention and build more connected, efficient workflows from sample preparation through quality control," said Dyan Reagan, Chief Operating Officer of Copia Scientific Bringing Quantification Directly to the Liquid Handler HSE•AG's technology is designed to address a common gap in automated laboratory workflows: the need to remove samples from the liquid handler for offline quantification and quality control. The eviDense UV Photometer is an on-deck module that integrates UV absorbance measurements directly into liquid handling workflows. Measuring at four wavelengths, the system enables automated DNA and RNA concentration and purity assessment, including A260/A280 and A260/A230 ratios. Its micro-cuvette technology supports fast and non-destructive in-process measurements, allowing samples to be recovered while increasing walk-away time and automating data handling. The eviFluor Duo Fluorometer brings fluorescence-based dsDNA quantification directly onto the automation deck. HSE•AG's application data demonstrate its suitability for automated NGS library quality control, with measurements showing strong agreement with a benchtop reference fluorometer and consistently low coefficients of variation. Together, these technologies can help laboratories automate critical quality-control steps that have traditionally required manual pipetting, separate benchtop instruments, and manual data transfer. Expanding Integrated Laboratory Automation As part of the agreement, Copia Scientific can integrate HSE•AG products into complete laboratory automation workflows, including solutions built around Opentrons liquid handlers, NAYO A8 mini, other compatible third-party automation platforms, laboratory software, and custom Copia automation solutions This integration capability allows laboratories to incorporate in-process measurement into broader automated workflows, supporting data-based automation within the workflow, rather than treating quantification as a separate, manual step. For NGS applications, for example, HSE•AG's technologies can support quantification at multiple points in the sample preparation process. UV absorbance provides rapid, label-free DNA quantification and purity assessment following extraction, while fluorescence-based measurement offers the sensitivity and specificity needed for library quality control. By integrating these measurements directly into the automated workflow, concentration data can also be used to enable automated sample normalization, reducing manual handling and supporting consistent sample preparation for downstream processes. "Copia Scientific and HSE•AG bring complementary strengths to this partnership: HSE•AG's precision in nucleic acid quantification and Copia Scientific's proven capabilities in automation, integration, and customer support. Together, we're enabling North American labs to integrate accurate, on-deck measurement directly into their existing workflows," said Konstantin Lutze, Chief Technology Officer of HSE•AG. Integration and Support from Copia Scientific Beyond product distribution, Copia Scientific will provide customers with installation, application assistance, preventative maintenance, warranty coordination, and first-line technical support for HSE•AG products sold through Copia. The agreement also establishes Copia Scientific as the preferred service provider for HSE•AG products sold through Copia Scientific within the territory. By combining HSE•AG's on-deck measurement technology with Copia Scientific's automation and integration capabilities, the companies aim to help laboratories reduce hands-on processes, improve data integrity, maximize walk-away time, and create more efficient end-to-end workflows.
