Automata LINQ automation cell Overview
LINQ is the lab automation platform from Automata, combining the modular LINQ Bench with workflow software. The bench holds laboratory instruments in linear, island or corner layouts and can be accessed from both sides by robots and staff. Labware moves between instruments on either a Bridge point-to-point transport or a MagLev planar system for multi-directional plate transport. Workflows are built in the node-based LINQ Canvas or with a Python SDK, simulated before execution and monitored from a browser-based Run Manager.
