Integrate Analytical Instruments into Your Self-Driving Lab

Simon Bates and Tom Concolino examine how analytical measurements can guide decisions in automated, closed-loop laboratories. They address limited or proprietary instrument interfaces, reliable connections between hardware and automation, and measurement and analysis workflows that deliver results at the speed an experimental loop needs. The presentation covers orchestration software, instrument integration, sample handling, and questions to resolve with instrument and automation vendors when designing a dependable self-driving laboratory.
