Peak Analysis & Automation (PAA) is showcasing its complete range of fully integrated laboratory automation systems on booth 1529 at SLAS2018, San Diego, CA, USA. These include the established S-Cel robotic systems that provide a flexible design to accommodate all types of laboratory automation applications, as well its new S-Llab automated plate handler and GX collaborative robot, together with the proven Overlord scheduling software.
S-Cel robotic systems combine modular configuration, containment options and environmental control to make a comprehensive, integrated laboratory automation solution. The company has developed bespoke systems for life science research and drug discovery applications in biotech, pharma and academic facilities and is expanding its capabilities in the USA, supported by its extensive US-based team.
At the other end of the automation spectrum, PAA is demonstrating the capabilities of its new S-Lab automated plate handler. With easy set-up and a highly affordable price-point, S-Lab is an entry-level system that will enable the automation of assays that might not have been considered for automation before. Compatible with up to 300 different instruments and able to handle lidded plates reliably for sterile assays, it is an ideal solution for laboratories looking to upscale workflows.
The GX fully collaborative benchtop robot was demonstrated as a prototype in 2017, and having recently been awarded a CE mark, is now available in both the USA and Europe. The GX offers 360° continuous rotation of all joints and a barcode reader, delivering excellent performance, ease of use and safety in the laboratory.
