HighRes and Cenevo announce co-marketing partnership to accelerate the agentic connected lab

HighRes^® and Cenevo have entered into a co-marketing partnership to accelerate adoption of connected, AI-ready laboratory infrastructure across the life science industry. By integrating the Cellario OS™ orchestration platform with the Mosaic Sample Management platform, the companies aim to eliminate manual workflow handoffs, improve traceability, and provide the infrastructure foundation for agentic laboratory automation.

Addressing complexity in modern life science laboratories

Modern life science laboratories must manage increasingly complex sample lifecycles across dozens of instruments, applications and data systems from multiple vendors. Each manual handover between systems introduces risk, including transcription errors, broken data trails and compliance gaps. As compound libraries expand and new therapeutic modalities emerge, these inefficiencies become more costly and harder to control.

The integrated Cellario OS and Mosaic platforms are designed to address these challenges by creating a seamlessly connected layer across instruments and data systems. This connected infrastructure underpins agentic AI in the lab, making it both practical and safe for regulated life science environments.

How Cellario OS and Mosaic work together

Cenevo’s Mosaic platform provides advanced sample management capabilities, while HighRes’ Cellario OS orchestrates execution across laboratory instruments. Mosaic’s Machine Fulfillment module communicates with Cellario OS before a run begins, passing all order parameters, input and output labware, and transfer specifications in advance.

Cellario OS then coordinates execution across instruments, from standalone liquid handlers to fully modular Nucleus^® systems, tracking transfers in real time and returning results to Mosaic. This creates a hardware-agnostic, resilient workflow where data flows without manual intervention and where AI agents can operate on trusted, structured information.

Key benefits of the integrated solution

Together, the integrated Cellario OS and Mosaic solution delivers:

• Resilience by design: All transfer data is provided upfront and tracked in real time, so runs can continue through network or system disruptions.
• Hardware-agnostic execution: Jobs are specified independently of the liquid handler, supporting parallel processing across multiple instruments and intelligent resource planning.
• Intelligent automation: Cellario OS templates are automatically selected and refined for each job, reducing protocol maintenance overhead.
• Compliance-ready traceability: Sample tracking, transfer logging and instrument data flow back into Mosaic for comprehensive regulatory record-keeping.
• Future-proof architecture: A loosely coupled design that supports emerging capabilities, including agentic interfaces such as the Cellario Lab Assistant™ communicating with Mosaic via MCP.

Ira Hoffman, CEO of HighRes, said, “By integrating Cellario OS with Mosaic by Cenevo, a sample fulfillment order from the world’s leading sample management software becomes executed work — Cellario OS finds the available resources and runs it. That’s what an execution layer is for.”

“We share a vision for what the connected lab should look like: one where data flows freely across instruments and systems, where AI agents can act on that data with confidence, and where scientists are freed to focus on discovery rather than administration. This partnership is about making data more accessible and more powerful for the whole industry,” added Alan Parkin, VP Product, Mosaic.
