Agilent Automated Workflows at SLAS2025: Connecting with Confidence

Building the lab of the future today by enhancing lab productivity with robust and reliable automation technology

SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) announced today that it will feature new automated laboratory workflow solutions at the SLAS2025 International Conference & Exhibition being held January 25-29, at the San Diego Convention Center in California. Agilent is a leader in advancing automation solutions to help customers optimize lab performance, efficiency, and reproducibility across their entire pipeline, from research and drug discovery to development and manufacturing processes.

Automation is becoming increasingly critical for labs as they navigate the competitive landscape. Agilent's automation solutions include sample and standard preparation, auto dilution, sample delivery, and washout. These solutions cover cell analysis, genomics, proteomics, biomolecule analysis, and mass spectrometry in regulated and non-regulated labs. By automating these tasks, scientists and lab technicians can focus on more important work. Automated sample preparation becomes more manageable, accurate, and consistent, which increases data quality and reduces the time needed to get results, ultimately leading to better decisions.

“Connecting automated solutions to your workflows allows for current manual processes to be a thing of the past, significantly boosting lab productivity, making lab managers’ days easier and giving back time to focus on other tasks,” stated Lars Kristiansen, general manager of Agilent’s Automation Solutions Business. “SLAS is the perfect platform for us to showcase how our cutting-edge automation solutions push the boundaries of what's possible. We're dedicated to delivering innovative workflow solutions that advance automation and drive customer success.”
