GentleFlow Founder Xiaoshan Tan Visits Reed Biotech​

Jointly Pioneering a New Era of Intelligent Experiments and Public Welfare

On May 15, 2025, Mr. Xiaoshan Tan, founder of GentleFlow, visited Reed Biotech LTD. During the visit, he personally delivered the new SmartBench Automated Pipetting Workstation to Reed Biotech and advanced the nationwide “Love and Life Science” 10-Kilometer Charity Run across 100 universities. This event not only deepens the technical collaboration between the two companies but also highlights their commitment to social responsibility and industry warmth.

Chairman’s On-Site Visit: SmartBench Workstation Commissioning

As a leading brand in Chinese laboratory automation sector, GentleFlow’s SmartBench Automated Pipetting Workstation boasts core advantages in high-precision liquid handling and modular scalability, perfectly aligning with critical steps in ELISA reagent production such as sample loading and dilution.

Led by Mr. Tan, the technical team conducted on-site debugging and customized the following features for Reed Biotech’s production needs:

• ​Industrial-grade Stability: Achieves 100,000-well pipetting capacity daily with a fault rate below 0.5%.
• ​Intelligent Error-Prevention System: Utilizes visual recognition to automatically calibrate pipetting paths, preventing reagent batch deviations caused by inaccuracies.
• ​Data Interconnectivity: Enables full-process traceability of pipetting volume, temperature control parameters, and quality inspection results through robotic arms and intelligent software.
• ​Precision Fluid Control: Pipetting accuracy reaches ±0.3% (at 1000μL range), meeting ELISA reagent gradient dilution requirements.

“Our mission is to ensure technology serves humanity—putting people at the heart of innovation,” emphasized Mr. Tan.

Charity Run Launch: Spreading Warmth and Science Education

Following the workstation commissioning, Mr. Tan and his team traveled to Wuhan University to jointly launch the “Love and Life Science” 10-Kilometer Charity Run with Reed Biotech, Norminkoda Biotechnology, and other enterprises.

This activity plan covers a hundred universities such as Tsinghua University, Fudan University and Wuhan University. Aims to:

1. ​Convey Industry Warmth: For every 10 kilometers completed, participating companies will donate 500 yuan to primary and secondary schools in remote areas, organizing on-site donations once the total reaches 20,000 yuan.
2. ​Promote Science Education: Host “Life Science Open Days” to introduce children to biotechnology, genetic testing, and more.
3. ​Advocate Healthy Scientific Research: Encourage researchers to “step out of the lab, embrace sunshine,” and prioritize physical and mental well-being.

Cross-border integration: A Mutual pursuit of technological hard power and humanistic soft care

Mr. Lu, CEO of Reed Biotech, outlined three key directions for future development:

1. ​Automation Upgrade: Transition from manual operations to fully unmanned workflows, drawing on international best practices.
2. ​Digital Management: Build skill matrices and digital training platforms, optimizing resource allocation through dynamic 7S management dashboards.
3. ​Low-Carbon Transformation: Reduce energy consumption and waste through intelligent systems, supporting the “Green Laboratory” initiative.

From intelligent lab upgrades to sparking public welfare in universities, Reed Biotech and GentleFlow are rewriting the paradigm of the life science industry—with technology as their pen and responsibility as their ink.

Looking ahead, the two parties will continue exploring more possibilities of “technology for good,” ensuring innovation benefits every corner of society!
