Society for Laboratory Automation and Screening (SLAS)
SLAS 2026 brought together the brightest minds in laboratory automation, high-throughput biology, and next-generation therapeutics – and Molecular Devices was at the center of it.
From AI-powered image analysis to automated organoid culture and fully integrated microbial workflows, we showcased how labs can move faster, reduce variability, and generate more predictive, human-relevant data.
Now, you can explore everything we shared – on your time.
What We Showcased: Advancing What’s Next in Discovery
At SLAS, we focused on three critical areas shaping modern research:
Human-Relevant Models
Scale organoid and iPSC-based workflows with automation that improves reproducibility and accelerates disease modeling.
AI-Driven Insights
Transform complex biological images into actionable data using deep learning and intuitive analysis tools.
End-to-End Automation
Streamline workflows from sample prep to analysis with integrated systems that reduce manual steps and increase throughput.
