SLAS 2026 New Product of the Year Nominees

This year, we have nominated two innovative platforms that are redefining modern laboratory workflows. The Stack Intelligent Automation System streamlines automation with flexible, modular workcells, while the FLO i8 PD General Liquid Handler 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®

Stack is a fully modular, vendor-agnostic robotic automation platform. Automation engineers spend less time on repetitive teaching, reteaching, and maintenance because the system automatically recognizes the locations of workflow instruments, even if they have shifted or been relocated. 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

The FLO i8 PD is a positive-displacement, high-precision liquid-handling platform. An 8-channel spanning head enables fast and accurate reformatting from tubes to plates across a wide range of volumes and applications. Non-contact dispensing supports flexible, contamination-free workflows by reducing carryover and protecting sensitive samples. The FLO i8 PD removes the tradeoff between flexibility and precision, allowing scientists to scale experiments and accelerate discovery.
