SLAS 2026 New Product of the Year Nominees

Formulatrix showcases two innovative platforms that redefine modern laboratory workflows. The Stack System streamlines automation with flexible, modular workcells, while the FLO i8 PD delivers precise, eight-channel liquid handling with unmatched accuracy and flexibility. Together, these products empower scientists to scale experiments, accelerate discovery, and focus on research rather than technical overhead.

STACK®

Formulatrix presents the Stack System, a fully modular, vendor-agnostic robotic automation platform. Automation engineers spend less time on repetitive teaching, reteaching, and maintenance, while the system automatically recognizes instruments after any movement or relocation. Its vertical frame and integrated robotic arm maximize lab space, and open architecture allows workcells to be reconfigured or expanded as protocols evolve. Stack removes time-consuming aspects of lab automation, enabling faster assay iteration and higher throughput.

FLO i8® PD

Formulatrix presents the FLO i8 PD, a high-precision liquid handling platform. Positive-displacement pipetting across eight independent channels delivers exceptional accuracy across volumes and applications. Non-contact dispensing from standard tips, plates, and tubes enables flexible workflows, while self-calibration and intuitive software reduce errors and streamline experiments. FLO i8 PD removes the tradeoff between flexibility and accuracy, allowing scientists to scale experiments and accelerate discovery.
