Automata’s flagship product, LINQ, is the leading automation platform that digitally and robotically connects every component of the lab without compromise, creating fully automated end-to-end workflows.

Typical laboratory automation solutions come with significant compromises that prevent scientists from scaling or adapting their workflows. They require large footprints, are difficult to use, have inflexible capabilities, or are difficult to scale. These compromises limit the true impact that automation can have on labs and scientists’ work. 

Fitting into the same space as a regular lab bench, Automata’s LINQ bench is the next-generation laboratory bench system that fully automates workflows end-to-end by robotically and digitally connecting instruments and automating the transfer of labware. Automata’s LINQ bench is able to integrate with most instruments, and its modular design enables easy adaptation to existing workflows and lab spaces.
