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.

Technical specifications
| Integration interfaces | REST API, SiLA2, Python SDK |
|---|---|
| Robotic compatibility | Liquid handlers (Opentrons, potentially others), robotic arms (fairino, potentially others) |
| LIMS integration | Custom API scripts for UniteLabs, Arkitekt, etc. |
| On-deck operation | Compact footprint fits on liquid handler decks |
| Real-time feedback | Use microscope data for conditional workflow branching |
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.
