This January, SLAS 2025 is heading to San Diego! This year's theme, Curiosity Igniting Innovation, is all about the drive to push boundaries and make a difference.
Our team will be there alongside other industry leaders, sharing how the latest in lab automation is helping scientists around the world achieve breakthroughs that truly make a difference to human health. From seeing our latest precision liquid handling and robust sample management technology, to discovering user success stories and educational resources, learn how you can connect with us there.
See out latest innovation in genomics liquid handling for yourself! firefly+ builds on the foundations of our all-in-one platform with an integrated thermocycler and additional labware capacity, all while maintaining our commitment to usability and compact design. With firefly+, you can run fully automated NGS library preparation workflows, maximizing walkaway time and giving your team more time to focus on what's important.
Be one of the first to see comPACT as it makes its debut on the road! If you’re ready to leave behind the hassle of manually searching for samples and want to protect your valuable research and data, comPACT is here to help. Our powerful, yet user-friendly solution offers flexible, secure tube storage in a smaller footprint, bringing the benefits of automated sample management to even more labs. Built with our proven pneumatic technology and modular design, comPACT lets you start small and scale up as your needs grow, ensuring your samples remain stable and easily accessible every step of the way.
Automated screening in academia: How are leading research institutes addressing the urgent need for novel TB therapies? Join our Tutorial led by Peter Craggs, Pharmacology Expert at The Francis Crick Institute, to learn how a multi-partner collaboration is building on previous GSK efforts to identify and validate new targets against an under-explored area in TB drug discovery, Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) metabolism.
In this work, a high-throughput repurposing screening approach has been taken to identify inhibitors from a library of 6,000 existing compounds. This project was enabled by building an integrated automated workflow in collaboration with SPT Labtech and Automata. The non-contact positive displacement dispenser, dragonfly® discovery from SPT Labtech, delivered fast and precise liquid handling, while the Automata Linq platform allowed seamless end-to-end assay automation of such a time-sensitive kinetic assay. This collaborative, integrated approach accelerated the discovery of novel Mtb enzyme inhibitors and laid the groundwork for further medicinal chemistry efforts to develop this promising class of antitubercular agents.
Our technology has been successfully implemented in laboratories around the world - keep an eye out for our posters which showcase these research findings!
Our team of experts are always on hand to answer any questions or arrange a demo of our solutions if you'd like to see them for yourself - so get in touch if you'd like to learn more!
