Topic: instrument integration

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.

Lead laboratory automation for molecular tool development, translating assays into scalable liquid-handling workflows. Responsibilities span automation strategy, requirements, instrument integration, validation and delivery in partnership with scientific teams.
