Laboratory automation
Laboratory automation enables faster research, greater repeatability of results and better use of the team's time. Laboratory robots take over routine tasks, minimise errors and allow staff to focus on what matters most — analysis and discovering new opportunities.
Automation is returning as a necessity, not an innovation.

Why do laboratories need automation?

Growing number of samples
A growing number of research projects, larger analysis series and shorter delivery deadlines are causing a sharp increase in laboratory sample volumes. Manual processes cannot keep pace with the workload, leading to delays and overloaded teams.

Staff shortages
Laboratory teams consist of highly qualified specialists who are difficult to replace. As the number of operational tasks grows, experts spend their time on repetitive activities instead of analysing data and developing methods.

Pressure from every direction
Laboratories must simultaneously meet increasingly demanding requirements for quality, regulatory compliance, turnaround time and operating costs. Manual processes increase the risk of errors and make it harder to maintain full control over the workflow.

Automation myths
‘Only for Big Pharma’
What is the truth?
Automation scales to the size of the laboratory. Medium-sized laboratories automate most often.
‘Too expensive’
What is the truth?
Errors, downtime and lost samples cost the most. The robot works while the laboratory sleeps.
‘We need to automate the entire process’
What is the truth?
The best projects begin with one bottleneck and then scale up.
‘They will replace people’
What is the truth?
Robots perform monotonous tasks. People do what creates value.
