It was a pleasure to have the leader in lab automation, Kalpesh Gupta, visit us at our MassRobotics office in Seaport, Boston. We had a great time showcasing our AI-robot for cell culture, featuring LLM-based communication and user interface, imaging, T-flask handling, and conical tube compatibility for cell and media harvesting. Kalpesh provided valuable feedback, and while there’s still much to do, we’re excited to continue innovating to address the urgent need for automating manual cell culture processes!

Thank you very much for the shoutout, Kalpesh!
Last week was an inspiring week at the SLAS2025 International Conference & Exhibition in San Diego. The NexusXp pavilion was a highlight, offering interactive experiences that showcased cutting-edge technologies propelling our industry forward. It was heartwarming to reconnect with familiar faces and forge new friendships. Meeting numerous LRIG committee members from various states was particularly enriching, providing a wonderful opportunity to discuss the future of laboratory automation. The buzz around AI was palpable, with several groundbreaking innovations on display: Here are some other standout innovations that caught my attention: QINSTRUMENTS' Plate Orienter: versatile instrument compatible with any liquid handling deck, simplifying pipetting for specific assays. PHIO Scientific GmbH's Compact Microscope: small microscope designed to fit inside any incubator, providing live imaging capabilities. Mito Robotics' Automated Cell Culture Instrument: compact device streamlining cell culture processes. Sepmag's Smart Magnetic 96-Well Plate: features real-time visualization of bead separation and strength, displayed graphically. BlueCatBio Combi: An integrated system combining centrifuge and plate washer functionalities. MycoFog Diffuser: an effective tool for incubator decontamination. Volume Verification Tools by Meniscense and LIQUIMETRIX: two impressive products ensuring precise plate volume measurements. FORMULATRIX Vertical Integration System: their inaugural vertical integration offering, promising to enhance laboratory workflows. Please add your thoughts and if anything i missed

A week ago, we had the honor of presenting our technology at Princeton University's TigerLaunch Global Final after winning first place in the New York Regional competition from a pool of over 330 applicants. We also had the opportunity to present at the University of Pittsburgh's Big Idea Final Competition. We have learned tremendously from visionary entrepreneurs and investors from all over the world and brought home a $5,000 cash prize. We want to express our greatest appreciation to our mentors, especially Justin Frankert and Nicholas Kirsch, who helped us prepare for the presentation and provided guidance on our development. We also want to thank our judges—Stephen Chambers, Mark Bailey, Stephan Mueller, Tierra Thorne, LSW, and Jeffrey McDaniel—for their valuable feedback. After conducting a thorough customer discovery process, we have received numerous validations and intents from industry leaders. We are now progressing to the MVP development phase and actively seeking additional funding opportunities. Our mission is to bring intelligence to lab automation through AI-powered robotics, and we invite interested partners to connect with us to explore potential collaborations and support our journey toward a new way of performing wet lab work.
