SPT Labtech - SLAS 2026 EU - Email Signature (1)


This May, SLAS Europe 2026 heads to Vienna! This year's theme, Where Inspiration Gains Momentum, is all about where scientific ideas are not only sparked, but continuously propelled into meaningful discoveries.

Our team will be there alongside other industry leaders, sharing how the latest in lab automation is helping scientists around the world achieve breakthroughs that truly make a difference to human health with our powerful lab automation solutions, you can find out more below.

Automation in the lab is no longer a “nice to have” it’s becoming the foundation of scalable science. As we prepare for SLAS EU in May, the conversation has shifted. It’s no longer just about if you should automate, but how to do so without sacrificing flexibility or blowing your budget.

Whether you are standardizing a global pharma footprint, expanding a core facility’s services, or launching a lean biotech workflow, the latest evolution of firefly® is designed to work harder for you.

We’ve listened to our growing community from AstraZeneca to the Wellcome Sanger Institute to bring you a platform that is smarter, faster, and more versatile than ever:

  • Intelligence at Scale: New AutoMoves and a library of 75+ ready-to-run methods mean you can deploy complex protocols instantly, moving from "box to bench" without a dedicated robotics team.
  • Operational Excellence: Increased vertical clearance supports a wider range of labware, while the new auto tip load head enables smart pickup (single, row, or column) to drastically reduce plastic waste.
  • Maximum ROI: Combine pipetting, non-contact dispensing, shaking, and incubation in one compact footprint. Plus, 4x miniaturization lets you stretch your most valuable reagents further.
