Lab Automation

Smart, Flexible, Scalable

Formulatrix Lab Automation Solutions

Formulatrix is redefining lab automation by making it simple, accessible, and affordable for every lab. With intelligent, compact, and scalable systems like Rover® and STACKTM, we deliver flexible solutions that streamline workflows, reduce manual effort, and grow with your needs, empowering labs of all sizes to innovate.

Rover – Autonomous Plate and Labware Handler

 

Rover, a laboratory automation platform, uses self-driving "cars" to move microplates and other labware from one laboratory instrument to another. The Rovers use machine vision to navigate virtual maps, providing researchers with a flexible and scalable solution. The platform can scan barcodes, perform plate transfers at designated locations, and move freely in its environment with precise, omnidirectional motion.

  • Flexible to Fit Any Lab Layout: Customize the system to connect existing automation to optimize efficiency or build a new automation workflow from the ground up
  • Scale as Your Needs Grow: The modular design allows the system to easily expand with your lab’s needs. Quickly add more tracks or Rovers to grow your system in as little as two days
  • Maximize Your Lab Space: The system is light enough to hang from the ceiling to free up valuable floor space. Elevators provide access to the automation stations below
  • Low Maintenance: Rovers self-calibrate through machine vision and can be easily swapped or removed to keep your automation running
STACK – Intelligent Lab Automation System

 

The STACK system is a user-friendly, rapidly expandable automation solution designed to simplify the creation of fully automated laboratory workflows. Featuring intuitive software and an intelligent, vision-based robotic arm, it empowers users of any experience level to effortlessly install, operate, and scale automated processes—eliminating bottlenecks while enhancing precision, flexibility, and efficiency across diverse laboratory workflows.

  • Easily Reconfigurable: Effortlessly swap out instruments to change your automation workflow with the system’s smart self-alignment
  • Extensible: Add more STACK units to scale with your throughput needs, seamlessly integrating additional components for growing workflows
  • Fast Deployment: Save time and effort deploying your STACK with no need to bolt down components, thanks to the system’s self-teaching software and vision-enabled arm
  • Fully Automate Workflows: ‘STACK’ your existing lab automation to optimize lab space & workflow efficiency
  • Scale as Your Needs Grow: Build or expand the system in hours, or reconfigure an existing one in minutes
  • Dynamic Alignment: No fiddling every time an instrument shifts - calibrate instruments once, ever, and move on to your science
