Laboratory Automation Solutions
Complete solutions for a fully integrated lab automation workflow
Explore lab automation-ready workflows for an end-to-end, high-throughput screening solution
Automation and customization solutions include scientists and engineers who can customize our instruments, as well as automate entire workflows to meet the specific needs of your assay, method, or protocol. We take a consultative approach to understand your application requirements and recommend labware, lab robotics, and software solutions that best match the unique needs of your application.
At the new Organoid Innovation Center at Molecular Devices we showcase these cutting-edge technologies with novel 3D biology methods to address key challenges of scaling complex 3D biology.
Features
-
Turnkey service
We share our application and instrumentation expertise and propose solutions. We test solutions in-house and, upon validation, install at your facility. We then follow through with on-site support.
-
Scalable automation
The Automation & Customization Team can adapt our instruments to seamlessly integrate into larger lab automation workstations. We also design and test whole workstations from scratch.
-
Hardware customization
From custom labware, to unique transfer pins, or special handling requirements, we’ll work to find a solution and prove it through validation.
-
Software customization
We can modify the programming interface of our instruments to match your application, integrate into LIMS or data management systems, customize a user interface, and control any custom-designed hardware.
Complete solutions for fully integrated lab automation workflow
No matter the scientific question or application at hand, an automated workflow can bring answers to light, faster. By integrating leading technology from across the industry into a flexible, customizable workcell, researchers can greatly optimize their time in the lab and free up resources for other critical tasks, speeding discovery.
Industry-leading technology from collaborators integrate seamlessly into the workcell, creating a truly end-to-end, automated workflow solution for any lab. From incubators, liquid handlers, and robotics to customized software and hardware—and with over 35 years of experience in the life science industry—you can count on us to deliver quality products and provide worldwide support.
- Lab automation for high-content screening (HCS)
Our automated, high-content screening workcell provides an end-to-end solution that helps standardize live 2D/3D cellular development process with cell culture, treatment, and incubation, through to imaging, analysis, and data processing, delivering consistent, unbiased, and biologically-relevant results at scale.
- Lab automation for high-throughput ELISA workflow
Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay is one of the most popular quantitative methods to detect a target antigen such as toxin or foreign substance within a sample. The assay is easy to set up and the range of potential analytes is vast, but the assay procedure is time consuming and labor intensive.
- Lab automation for high-throughput clone screening
Scalable and simple-to-use products establish clonal populations for antibody discovery and cell line development. Our automated clone screening workflows integrate laboratory devices to increase your throughput and efficiency while reducing human interaction.
