Tenets of Lab Automation – Hardware

The Importance of Hardware in Lab Automation   One outcome of the COVID-19 pandemic was the increased interest in laboratory automation across the life sciences. Once known only to sample management and high throughput screening applications, lab automation is becoming more ubiquitous across the entire drug discovery continuum. If it sounds fancy, it’s because it […]

The Benefits of Lab Automation

When it comes to improving the output and efficiency of your lab, few processes can create as much of a difference as implementing automation. It’s important that you understand the benefits of automation before you begin your evaluation as this will maintain focus throughout your project.  Here, we’ve outlined some of the most valuable, as […]

why you should automate your lab

Why You Should Automate Your Laboratory

Life science laboratories are filled with high-knowledge staff members who perform complex actions that rely on human intuition, dexterity and an expert knowledge of equipment and science. Automation tools have revolutionized the day to day operation of laboratories since the introduction of early liquid handling devices and adoption of high density labware formats. But moving […]

Automation That Delivers Seamless Data Handling for Scientific Discovery

Imagine a lab environment where automation generates raw data, processes it, and outputs exactly what you need so that you can focus your efforts on science. The system can actually make decisions in real-time and continuously refine experiments. Today, the inherent complexity in these types of systems can be streamlined and software can come to the rescue, freeing the scientist from mundane repetitive tasks.  Simplifying the laboratory experience has been a goal for TetraScience and HighRes Biosolutions, and the latest […]
