Opentrons just raised a $40M Series E to make the lab run itself.

11,000+ of its robots are in labs in 80+ countries, including 90% of top 20 pharma firms. AI can design experiments now. Someone has to run them.

A bottleneck sparked an idea: "We should get a robot."

Today, Kyocera runs unattended XRD measurements for up to 3 days using a robotic system integrated with a Rigaku SmartLab, saving an estimated 8-10 hours every week.

Less time counting colonies. More time for the science.

Similar colony counts can also hide very different size distributions.

GelCount™ combines automated counting, size analysis and saved images to help labs process assays more consistently.

Tracking Biological Cultures with Automated Headspace Sampling
<p><strong>A Conversation with Dr. Christopher Rosin, Senior Application Scientist at G.A.S. Dortmund</strong></p> <p>Repeated headspace sampling is a powerful tool for studying biological systems over time. However, obtaining reliable measurements from blood cultures, microbial samples, or other biological matrices presents a challenge: researchers need to collect multiple samples throughout an experiment while minimizing carry-over and maintaining consistent sampling conditions.</p> <p>At G.A.S. Gesellschaft für analytische Sensorsysteme mbH in Dortmund, a patented closure attachment was developed to support automated serial headspace sampling using PAL automation. We spoke with Dr. Christopher Rosin, Senior Application Scientist at G.A.S., about the analytical challenges that inspired the development, the role of automation, and future opportunities for time-resolved biological monitoring.</p>

For as long as defending a network took a security team you had to hire, the places that could not afford one simply went undefended. That was the arrangement.

How much space does an autonomous lab need? Less than you might think. At the Denver X-ray Conference, we fit this robotic sample-handling demo into a 10 × 10-foot booth, showing how a compact robot can connect XRD and XRF workflows in a surprisingly small footprint. #AutonomousLab #LabAutomation
