Connected Automation for Genomics Workflows

Connect Genomic Workflows From Sample Preparation Through Quality Control

Genomics labs have automated many individual steps, yet scientists still spend valuable time pipetting, moving plates and setting up instruments between them. These manual handoffs create opportunities for error and make it harder to increase capacity efficiently.

LINQ turns separate instruments into a connected, walkaway workflow by integrating hardware, robotics, software and data. Labs can automate more of the process, reduce manual touchpoints and increase throughput while retaining the instruments and methods that support their science.

Integrated Automation at The Francis Crick Institute

The Advanced Sequencing Facility at The Francis Crick Institute worked with Automata to integrate automation across amplicon library preparation, FFPE RNA extraction, and COVID-19 sequencing.

The system connects six LINQ benches, four robots, and four laboratory instruments, supporting greater walkaway time, workflow flexibility, and sample quality.
