Cenevo launches Mosaic AI Inventory Search at SLAS Europe 2026

New AI capability enables natural language search to streamline sample discovery in connected labs

22 May 2026

Product news

At SLAS Europe 2026 in Vienna, Austria, Cenevo has launched Mosaic AI Inventory Search, a new AI-enabled capability for Mosaic that allows scientists to search laboratory inventory using natural language, accelerating sample discovery and making inventory management more intuitive and actionable.

Bringing AI into connected life science labs

Mosaic AI Inventory Search brings AI into the laboratory informatics systems that scientific teams already rely on, helping them turn inventory data into action without losing traceability, control or context. Scientists can describe what they are looking for in plain language, such as “all tubes registered during the last 7 days stored in freezer XYZ,” and the AI assistant automatically builds and executes the appropriate search.

“Mosaic AI Inventory Search is another step toward connected, agentic labs where AI helps scientific teams move from data to action more seamlessly,” said Alan Parkin, Vice President Product, Mosaic. “By embedding AI directly within trusted laboratory systems, we can deliver faster, more intuitive workflows while maintaining the governance, traceability and control modern labs require.”

Deep integration with Mosaic’s sample-centric data model

Unlike generic AI chat tools, Mosaic AI Inventory Search is deeply integrated into Mosaic’s sample-centric data model. The assistant understands sample properties, labware types, modalities and customer-specific configurations, enabling more accurate, context-aware search results that reflect how each lab structures and manages its inventory.

Enhancing existing Mosaic inventory workflows

Built directly into Mosaic’s existing Inventory Search workflow, the AI assistant enhances a core capability already used by the majority of Mosaic users. By layering natural language search on top of established inventory processes, Mosaic AI Inventory Search helps laboratories improve efficiency without disrupting validated workflows.

Availability and AI portfolio expansion

Mosaic AI Inventory Search is available for cloud deployments as part of Cenevo’s expanding AI portfolio for connected, agentic labs in the life sciences.

Frequently asked questions

How does Mosaic AI Inventory Search use artificial intelligence to improve laboratory inventory management for life science labs?

Mosaic AI Inventory Search is an AI-enabled capability within Cenevo’s Mosaic agentic lab platform for life sciences. It allows scientists to search laboratory inventory using natural language, for example, by typing requests like “all tubes registered during the last 7 days stored in freezer XYZ.” The AI assistant then automatically builds and executes the appropriate search, turning inventory data into action while preserving traceability, control and context. This makes sample discovery faster and inventory management more intuitive and actionable in connected life science labs.

What makes Mosaic AI Inventory Search different from generic AI chat tools in the context of sample-centric inventory search?

Mosaic AI Inventory Search is deeply integrated into Mosaic’s sample-centric data model, rather than operating as a generic AI chat interface. The assistant understands sample properties, labware types, modalities and customer-specific configurations, so it can return accurate, context-aware search results that reflect how each laboratory structures and manages its inventory.

Because it is built directly into Mosaic’s existing Inventory Search workflow, it enhances a core capability already used by most Mosaic users without disrupting validated, sample-centric inventory processes.

How does Cenevo’s Mosaic AI Inventory Search support connected, agentic labs and what deployment options are available?

Cenevo, a specialist in enabling connected labs for life sciences, has introduced Mosaic AI Inventory Search as part of its expanding AI portfolio for connected, agentic labs. By embedding AI directly within trusted laboratory informatics systems, Mosaic AI Inventory Search helps scientific teams move more seamlessly from data to action while maintaining governance, traceability and control.

The capability is available for cloud deployments of Mosaic, bringing AI-driven natural language inventory search into modern connected life science laboratories.
