Conducting mundane tasks in a laboratory can have a significant impact on the results. Unitelabs has developed a fully collaborative autonomous lab robot that allows for automating a wide range of tasks. The robot lab assistant is now available in the market.

Founded in 2017 by Oskari Vinko ( CEO) and Maximilian Schulz (CTO), UniteLabs is a software company focusing on the development reusable and flexible automation solutions that adapt to the changing everyday requirements of life science, pharma and biotech research. The company’s data flow and process automation platform allows lab instruments, robots and information systems to be instantly connected, automated and repurposed.

Following several years of research, Unitelabs and Astech Projects have now launched robotic lab assistant designed for pharmaceutical research laboratories to support the scientists in drug discovery particularly with handling operating laboratory equipment and transporting samples within the laboratory, even during the night in an unsupervised manner. Specific use cases include managing samples in analytical laboratories, cell culture, compound logistics and supplying consumables to existing automation systems. Additionally, the company offers the UniteFlow software, which allows scientists to control the robot, and remotely observe its actions and interfere whenever necessary. The video illustrates how the robot operates.

Any instrument or service that is compatible with the SiLA 2 (Standard in Laboratory Automation) standard, which has been also released and free to use, will benefit from the solution. The company will begin commercializing the complete solution – the robot assistant and the UniteFlow software – in Europe. Although shipping starts in January 2020, UniteLabs has already acquired customers including Roche and others that are renowned within their industries.
