Your lab’s flexible automation partner

“The support level is utmost. They’ve given me a software engineer and a project manager – specific people I can go to for specific problems.

The modularity of the system is also brilliant. When this system becomes obsolete, we’ll be able to easily break it down and adapt to the new processes with minimal cost.”

Jade Brash, Senior Automation Scientist at bit.bio
