One of the most interesting liquid handling technologies I’ve seen in a while was from a Limerick (Ireland) company called Gen Cell Biosystems. As a person who used to hear all about Laboratory Automation from the BioRobot™ folks in my days at QIAGEN, as well as the Society for Biomolecular Screening (SBS) also from my prior work in the protein purification and detection business (read: everything and anything about His-tagged proteins), it should not have come as a surprise that several years ago both associations merged to form the Society for Laboratory Automation and Screening (SLAS).
