Hello fellow lab automation enthusiasts!
@silvioo and I are excited to announce that we’re looking for user testers for our open-source lab automation software. This project has been battle-tested in a high-throughput biotech environment and is nearly ready to be shared with the wider community.
About the Software
- Proven Track Record: Successfully handled over 4,000 (and counting) runs with minimal downtime in a production environment.
- Versatile: Drives various experiments including media exchanges, transfections, plate imaging, washes, and cell passaging.
- Extensive Integration: Developed nearly 20 tool drivers and fully integrated 3 workcells.
Why Open Source?
We believe that advanced lab automation should be accessible to all, not just those who can afford expensive off-the-shelf solutions. Our open-source approach aims to:
- Reduce costs for companies, especially startups
- Eliminate onboarding challenges associated with third-party integrators
- Provide flexibility for modifications to meet specific lab requirements
We Need Your Help!
We’re looking for labs and individuals interested in:
- Testing the software in different environments.
- Providing feedback on usability and features
If you’re interested in being part of this exciting project, please reply to this thread or PM me for more details. Let’s revolutionize lab automation together!
Note:
- In its current state, our software executes workflows statically. We hope we’ll be able to release a dynamic scheduler in the near future.
