Spring 2026
Special: Lab automation + data science
Laboratory automation is evolving fast. What used to be a patchwork of isolated device solutions has steadily moved toward smarter, interconnected labs. And now that robotics is pushing the field one step further, a fully autonomous research environment no longer feels like science fiction.
Recent editions of analytica, a leading international trade fair for laboratory technology and analytics, have highlighted just how quickly automation is progressing toward ‘Lab 4.0.’” Instead of stand-alone automation islands, labs are beginning to look like integrated, digitally connected ecosystems. Labs become more and more autonomous.
