Strategic discussions on how to embrace automation and digital transformation have consumed the laboratory automation industry and highlighted the need for diverse, capable, and connected solutions.

To support this, Thermo Fisher Scientific has created an online 3D configuration tool that has numerous benefits, bringing physical systems into the digital world. A configurator can help accelerate productive research and automation system deployment supporting system configuration, software simulations, training, and troubleshooting. In this online version, you can get a glimpse into the 3D configuration capabilities Thermo Scientific support. Explore the Thermo Scientific inSPIRE configurable automation platform designing, building, testing, and learning in this virtual environment.

The virtual 3D configurator tool can be used to:

  • Design an inSPIRE platform by selecting a preconfigured application or from a list of instruments
  • Build the inSPIRE platform you designed and explore its components
  • Test a simulated workflow on the inSPIRE platform
  • Learn more about automation

AutosamplersAutosamplers are automated sample loaders used with a number of separation and analytical techniques. HPLC autosamplers use automated partial or full-loop injection systems and place samples in vials or microplates for analysis. Autosamplers can also be used for elemental analysis. Features to consider include repeatability, syringe capacity, footprint and temperature controls.  Robotic InstrumentsRobotic instruments can be used for high-throughput automation of many lab processes. Such processes use instruments for assays like cell based assays and ELISA, for sample preparation like shakers, centrifuges and incubators, and for analysis such as sequencing and western blot analyzers. Useful features of robotic instruments include speed, reproducibility, barcode readers, software and automation.Robotic WorkstationsRobotic workstations are automated platforms enabling the user to perform high-throughput, multi-application processes, from sample preparation tasks such as PCR set-up, DNA purification and NGS library preparation, to integrated sample prep and analysis workstations. Automation makes processes consistent, fast, precise and fully walk-away. Find the best robotic workstations in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Software PlatformsSoftware platforms are useful for various stages of laboratory experiments from data collection to data storage and processing. For instance lab software is available for system control, data management, data analysis and qualification / validation.Automated Liquid HandlingAutomated liquid handling equipment is used to mix, dilute and dispense allotted volumes of liquid into microplates and other vessels automatically. The robotic, liquid handling arms can dispense from single channel to 3456 multichannel as well as operate nanoliter dispensing, enabling high throughput of samples.
