Join Scinomix at SLAS 2026: Lab Automation Solutions in Action

SLAS2026 is less than one month away! Scinomix is excited to return to the show floor to connect with scientists, engineers, and many lab professionals from around the world. Our automation experts will be at Booth #1416 in Boston showcasing our innovations to attendees.

What You’ll See at Booth #1416

At SLAS2026, we will show lab automation solutions solving real-world lab challenges. Throughout the conference, attendees can experience continuous live demos of Scinomix benchtop lab automation solutions designed to improve efficiency, traceability, and scalability across a wide range of life science applications.

Live Lab Automation Demos Include:

  • Tube Laser Etching
    Permanent, high-contrast identification that eliminates the need for adhesive labels and withstands harsh conditions like cryogenic storage, chemical exposure, and high-humidity environments. 

  • Aliquoting & Liquid Handling
    Precise, high-throughput liquid dispensing paired with automated tube labeling, validation, and sample tracking that reduces manual handling and frees lab staff for high-value discovery work. 

  • Tube Labeling & Handling
    Scalable solutions with the ability to label, sort, dispense aqueous solutions, uncap and recap, record images, validate data, and support a large variety of tube and vial types.

  • Bulk Tube Feeding
    Pair with our tube labeling and tube laser etching systems to eliminate the hand-loading of tubes into racks for additional time savings.

  • Tube Capping & Uncapping
    Consistent, high-throughput capping and uncapping of tubes saves time and reduces risk of repetitive strain. 

  • Weighing & Validation
    Support data accuracy, compliance, and sample traceability with an automated weighing module and barcode scanner that validate sample volumes and identification data. 

  • Image Capture
    Enhance documentation and sample tracking with a new VX Tube Labeler feature designed to record and store images of sample IDs, align labels to specific tube locations, and integration with LIMS systems. 

  • Microplate Labeling
    Precise, high-throughput application of labels to all sides of a wide variety of microplates and deep well blocks. 

  • Third-Party Integration
    Explore a live setup of Scinomix automation seamlessly integrated with a third-party system configured for scalable workflows, increased throughput, and improved data accuracy and traceability.  

Automation users can see how our sample preparation automation fits into unique workflows, handles specific consumables, and offers user-friendly operation. Live demonstrations are a great opportunity for attendees to visualize automation in their lab environments, ask questions in realtime, and discuss important workflow challenges and goals with Scinomix experts. 

Permanent Sample Identification with SmartScribe Tube Laser Etcher

SmartScribe will be an automation highlight at the Scinomix booth. Our latest tube laser etching automation is designed for biobanking, cell and gene therapy, and all applications managing cold sample storage. Its permanent tube marking offers durable sample identification that withstands fading, smearing, and degradation often caused by extreme environments. 

Attendees at SLAS2026 will be able to see two SmartScribe Tube Laser Etchers running live, offering a close-up look at how the permanent sample marking automation supports:

  • Improved Data Integrity: High-contrast, customizable sample markings are directly etched onto tubes for long-lasting identification throughout cryogenic storage, long-term storage, exposure to chemicals, and other harsh sample handling. 

  • Enhanced Workflow Efficiency: Label-free sample identification significantly reduces costs and time associated with managing label consumables. The SmartScribe Tube Laser Etcher can also be paired with the Scinomix VXi Bulk Tube Feeder, saving additional processing time and consumable costs by automating the marking and racking of large quantities of tubes. 

  • Flexible Tube Compatibility: Easily adopt this automation into your workflow without disruption of operation with ability to mark onto a range of etchable tubes from multiple manufacturers. 

  • Easy & Reliable Integration: Seamlessly integrate SmartScribe into existing workflows and large-scale automation systems to maximize efficiency across processes. Intuitive software and easily-accessible parts allow quick setup, easy operation, and minimal downtime or maintenance. 

For labs managing cryogenic sample storage, long-term sample storage, chemical sample exposure, or other harsh handling processes, the SmartScribe Tube Laser Etcher provides a durable solution for maintaining reliable sample identification.  

Seamless Multi-System Lab Automation Integration

Another exciting showcase this year is Scinomix’s expanded multi-system integration capabilities. We will feature our newest add-on, the Auto Access Module, paired with our AQ Aliquoting System and VXL Tube Labeler configuration, also integrated with a third-party robotic arm. 

What is the Auto Access Module?

Our latest lab automation technology can be added to a VXL Tube Labeler or VX2 Tube Labeler to automate the opening and closing of the system’s rear door. This feature enables seamless robotic access while maintaining a safer lab environment by keeping the system enclosed when access is not required.  

This robust configuration will allow attendees to see firsthand how multi-system integration can improve:

  • Seamless Workflows: Bring better efficiency to your lab through end-to-end automation integrating labeling, bulk feeding, liquid handling, capping, and robotic workflow orchestration. 

  • Increased Throughput: Unified systems automate repetitive processes, allowing teams to focus on higher-value discovery work, reduce bottlenecks, and accelerate research timelines.

  • Scalable Automation: Support future demands and minimize disruption to lab operations with modular configurations that can grow with your lab.   

Whether your optimizing existing automation or planning a new integrated system, Scinomix experts will walk you through real-world use cases and capabilities. 

Meet with Scinomix Lab Automation Experts
