Lab automation solutions at any scale

Customized workstations, built around Fluent® or Veya® liquid handlers, provide compact solutions with modifications tailored to your workflow. For more complex interconnected processes, robotic work cells use labware-handling arms to connect instruments into extensible, large-scale systems that boost efficiency and throughput.

Your path to discovery, fueled by collaboration

Every workflow consists of steps that need to fit together seamlessly. Labwerx works with you to design and integrate the right functions - even creating new modules or software - to deliver automation that matches your science.

Functionality designed for you

From decapping to crimping and heating to shaking, combine core functions to translate your manual workflow into a streamlined lab automation system.

Connectivity designed for your workflow

From workflow scheduling to lab-wide insights, Tecan’s software suite and custom drivers unify instruments, modules and data into one cohesive ecosystem.

Turn bottlenecks into breakthroughs

When off-the-shelf doesn’t fit, Labwerx delivers. From modified workstations and customized software tools to novel modules and large-scale robotic integrations, we design and manufacture lab automation solutions that solve what others can’t - so your science moves further, faster. Watch how Labwerx turns complex challenges into seamless automation:

Culture Bot for reliable sterile cell maintenance

Automate cell culture workflows with integrated media exchange, tip washing and plate knocking enabled by a fully autoclavable liquid system.

Safe Pipetting Module for contamination prevention

Protect samples from cross-contamination with a mechanical lid that shields plates during liquid handler movement and exposes only target wells during pipetting.

DeckCam for workflow verification

Enable visual documentation of automated workflows, providing recorded proof of correct assay execution in forensic and regulated environments.

AirCapper for tube capping and decapping

Improve efficiency and consistency with the Aircapper’s automated capping and decapping of 50 mL sample tubes and 15 mL centrifuge tubes.

Te-Chrom for parallel chromatography screening

Accelerate process development with parallel screening of chromatographic conditions in a miniaturized column format to save resin, sample and reagents.

pH Module for multiparameter measurements

Measure pH and conductivity across four channels with integrated washing and drying to maintain probe accuracy and prevent cross-contamination.

Vacutainer Decapper for versatile cap removal

Decap vacutainer tubes with screw caps, push-on caps or rubber bungs with a robust mechatronic system that operates without pressurized air.

Custom centrifuge buckets for automated tube transfer

Facilitate automation-friendly centrifugation with buckets that robotic gripper arms can move for fast, hands-free operation.

Custom gripper fingers for flexible labware use

Swap in custom gripper fingers to handle different labware on the same deck, giving you flexibility and smoother runs without manual intervention.

Integrated lab automation solutions in action

Advancing ocular disease research

The Lions Eye Institute in Perth, Australia, is using Labwerx automation to scale world-class disease modeling and gene therapy screening. The custom solution expanded research capacity and accelerated the search for new retinal therapies, bringing hope to patients facing vision loss.

Using patient-derived skin cells reprogrammed into retinal tissue, researchers are creating powerful disease models for treatment evaluation.

A custom lab automation solution — combining the Fluent® liquid handling platform with the Spark® Cyto live-cell imager — increased throughput, accelerating the gene therapy screening pipeline.

Thanks to funding from charitable donations, Labwerx technology is advancing care for people facing sight loss, improving lives worldwide.

Optimizing iPSC cell banking

To beat the stem cell culture bottleneck, Labwerx built a system that automates iPSC expansion, monitoring and cryopreservation prep. The lab automation solution can run for weeks without human intervention, giving scientists more time to focus on discovery.

Maintaining iPSC banks is essential for labs developing regenerative therapies, disease models and more, but the process is complex and time-consuming.

The custom Labwerx solution overcomes these challenges by taking over cell handling after single-cell seeding.

Specialized modules pre-warm only the medium needed for each exchange while keeping larger volumes refrigerated. Combined with powerful scheduling software, this enables reliable, extended autonomous performance.

Powering productivity in vision research

In its quest to tackle degenerative eye diseases, CERA partnered with Labwerx to design a bespoke lab automation solution for iPSC maintenance. The result: standardized, scalable support for vision research and a huge increase in productivity.
