Workflow
With workflow automation, sequences of interconnected lab tasks are automated across part of or an entire experimental workflow. Workflow automation solutions integrate smoothly into existing lab setups, allowing labs to standardize processes, reduce manual handoffs, and optimize complex experiments.
What is workflow lab automation?
Workflow lab automation is the automation of connected sequences of lab tasks, allowing multiple processes to run together efficiently without manual intervention. By linking individual tasks into a coordinated, automated workflow, we see benefits such as improved speed, consistency, and reproducibility across entire experiments.
How BICO supports workflow lab automation
BICO enables workflow lab automation both through automated workstations such as the C.STATION by CYTENA, which addresses all steps in modern cell line development workflows, and through custom workflow automation powered by Biosero’s market-leading lab automation software Green Button Go and expansive Device Drivers library.
Our workflow automation solutions focus on improving efficiency and improving data quality, while providing true walk-away capabilities. This gives researchers the time to make the most of the gathered data, focusing on analysis and discovery.
Increased reproducibility
Link multiple processes to ensure consistent results and minimize human error.
Higher throughput
Run coordinated workflows more efficiently, speed up experiments, and maximize lab output.
Saving time and money
Reduce manual work and operational costs across workflows.
Streamlined Experiments
Coordinate multiple tasks within a workflow to simplify experiment management.
Who should consider workflow lab automation?
Workflow lab automation is ideal for organizations that need to coordinate multiple lab tasks into seamless, reproducible workflow. These include, bur are not limited to:
Biotech and pharmaceutical teams performing multi-step experiments, such as cell line development, NGS library preparation, or high-throughput single-cell workflows, where linking processes improves efficiency and reproducibility.
Contract research organizations (CROs) and core facilities that handle repeated experiments for multiple users and benefit from standardized, automated workflows.
Academic labs with complex protocols that require coordination across multiple steps to reduce errors and free scientists for data analysis and interpretation.
Clinical and diagnostic labs performing multi-step, high-value workflows that gain from enhanced reproducibility and process standardization without requiring full end-to-end automation.
Workflow automation provides a practical solution for labs seeking to streamline interconnected processes, improve consistency, and accelerate experimental timelines while retaining flexibility for future scaling.
