SLAS Europe wrapped for another year

Share

Team Automata was in Barcelona for the fifth annual SLAS Europe 2024 Conference and Exhibition this May, meeting attendees, clients, and industry leaders alike.

Whilst attending the event we saw a marked emphasis on software, with a particular focus on transforming scientific data into actionable information.

Many companies in attendance are pioneering new territory for their solutions by offering remote, 24/7 access via the cloud.

Automata’s LINQ Cloud software, integral to the LINQ platform, offers seamless, round-the-clock connectivity, so it was reassuring to see the market embracing this innovation.

Scheduling emerged as a critical topic, with various static and dynamic solutions vying for attention. While high-value hardware such as robot arms and liquid handlers remained essential for lab automation, they were increasingly being presented as tools to facilitate scientific processes and generate data.

From an application standpoint, the focus predominantly lies on cell-based and molecular assays, underscoring the central role these methodologies play in current scientific research.

At our stand, we demonstrated our workflow builder software, showcasing how easy it is to build, simulate, and run workflows on our complete lab automation platform, LINQ.

We also featured our digital kiosk and Lab Configurator at stand 718 offering attendees the opportunity to experience Automata’s lab automation solutions firsthand.

As always, we had a great time meeting new and old connections alike, and it was refreshing to see how many fellow automation providers are now also embracing cloud, dynamic scheduling and high-value hardware innovations.
