Lab Automation & Robotics

Integrate with liquid handlers, robotic arms, and LIMS

Integrate openUC2 microscopes into automated lab workflows. REST API and SiLA2 compatibility enable control from liquid handling robots, robotic arms, and LIMS software. Use the microscope as an on-deck imaging station for real-time QC during sample prep, or as a remote-controlled instrument in fully automated workflows.

Key capabilities

API-driven control

Full microscope control via REST API and Python SDK — ideal for integration into automated workflows.

Robotic compatibility

Integrate with popular liquid handlers and robotic arms for sample handling and imaging.

On-deck imaging

Compact design allows placement on liquid handler decks for real-time QC during sample prep.

LIMS integration

Custom scripts enable integration with LIMS software for automated data logging and workflow management.

On the roadmap

Pre-built integration modules for popular liquid handlers
Automated sample loading/unloading protocols
Real-time image-based workflow branching
