Four reasons to visit Automata at ELRIG Drug Discovery 2024

Share

Europe’s largest conference for the drug discovery community, ELRIG, is returning to London with an impressive lineup of scientific tracks, exhibition opportunities, and networking events. This year, attendees will have the chance to dive into topics ranging from therapeutic themes like mechanisms of ageing and cell and gene therapy to practical aspects of drug discovery such as advances in assay design, high content imaging, target identification, and disease modeling. 

With esteemed scientific content partners, including the Cell & Gene Therapy Catapult, the Royal Society of Chemistry, SBi2, and SLAS contributing to the rich agenda, this event is set to be a must-attend. 

Here are the top reasons you should visit us at ELRIG . You can pre-book a meeting slot with us if we’ve convinced you!

1. Discover the latest in automation technology

Automation is the future of drug discovery. It could transform your lab by speeding up processes, reducing manual errors, improving data quality, contextualising results, and facilitating flexible scalability. 

However, many automation platforms are available, and there are different ways to start the automated lab journey – or to take the next step. 

Cloud-based platforms like LINQ are leading the way in automation for innovative labs. We’ve built something disrupting the automation market by combining flexible and modular hardware with advanced scheduling, error handling, and workflow design software. 

If you’re confused about the options or just want general lab automation advice, the team will be on-site across both days to help demystify some of this complicated market.

2. Assess your options in person

It can be difficult to determine the quality and scale of high-investment lab equipment without seeing it firsthand. Events like ELRIG allow you to explore automation platforms like LINQ and to compare them with other products by similar vendors all in one place. 

At our booth, you’ll have the opportunity to evaluate LINQ hardware, design your own system, and preview our new software offering.

It’s the best way to really understand LINQs durability, functionality, and suitability for your space. And it’s pretty beautiful in person if we do say so ourselves.

If you want a deep-dive demonstration of LINQ, we can also arrange for you to visit our demo spaces in London, UK, or Boston, MA—just ask a member of the team for details.

3. Be inspired by our customer’s stories 

We’ve helped a wide variety of laboratories to increase throughput, reduce turnaround time, eliminate manual errors and improve experiment results with lab automation. As such, the team will be able to talk through highly relevant examples of the impact automating specific parts of the drug discovery pipeline has had on our customers. 

For example, high throughput screening automated workcell can deliver up to 100 plates a day with zero tips used, with a return on investment expected in just four months.

Discover how we work with labs to create the right solution, what considerations you may want to remember when looking to automate, and take away some great impact stats to support your automation business case.

4. Meet the experts behind the product

ELRIG is your chance to connect directly with the people who have designed and developed LINQ. 

Whether you have experiment design, technical capability or nitty-gritty integration questions, we make sure the people on our stand are the people who have the answers.

The team includes cell biology, genomics, robotics, automation and data scientists, and data and hardware engineers, but if we don’t have the answers, we’ll know someone who does.

We’re also really friendly, and there might be fun things to take part in; you’ll have to wait and see! 

Book a meeting if you’re planning your day in advance, or just drop by on either day.

See you soon, ELRIG!
