Stäubli Robots revolutionize life sciences labs The COVID-19 crisis has spurred life sciences labs to ramp up output at warp speed – and Stäubli Robotics is helping to meet critical needs. As the challenges multiply and pressure mounts, Stäubli Robotics is actively expanding its offerings to the life sciences market, including a full range of flexible and collaborative robotic arms and mobility solutions. The company has been developing high-throughput screening (HTS) technologies since the early 2000s and presented its latest innovations for lab automation at SLAS 2021. Many challenges in the life sciences sector pre-date the COVID-19 pandemic but were accelerated by these unprecedented circumstances. Demands for higher throughput, greater efficiency and productivity have intensified, along with increased need to minimize time spent on repetitive tasks, ensure safety, and maintain compliance with strict hygienic requirements. In response, labs are increasingly implementing robotics for automated liquid handling and diagnostic systems.
