 Press Releases

  • Cambridge, UK, 25 June 2024 – SPT Labtech, a global leader in the design, development and manufacture of automated instrumentation and consumables for life science applications, and Olink Holding AB (publ)(“Olink”)(Nasdaq: OLK), a provider of proteomics solutions at ­unrivaled throughput, today announce the introduction of an additional automation option for the Olink® Explore HT protocol for high-throughput proteomics with SPT Labtech’s firefly® liquid handling platform.

    The combination of the Olink Explore platform with SPT Labtech automated liquid handling enables swift and precise execution of large-scale proteomics studies, spanning all crucial biological pathways. The technologies allow researchers to reliably generate high-throughput multiplexed protein biomarker analysis to make data-driven, confident decisions quickly. The ability to miniaturize reactions without compromising accuracy, in combination with low dead volumes, uncovers new scientific insights consuming as little as 2 µL sample.

  • Automated protocols now available for mRNA and DNA sequencing

    Cambridge, UK - May 28, 2024
     - SPT Labtech, a global leader in the design, development, and manufacture of automated instrumentation and consumables for life science applications, has announced a collaboration with Watchmaker Genomics, an expert in genomics tools development for demanding sequencing applications. The partnership will deliver a suite of automated next-generation sequencing (NGS) library preparation solutions that aim to simplify and streamline lab operations for users while producing more accurate results.

  • Cambridge, UK, 19 March 2024 – SPT Labtech, a global leader in the design, development and manufacture of automated instrumentation and consumables for life science applications, announces its co-marketing collaboration with Roche to deliver a streamlined method for Illumina-compatible Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) library preparation. By leveraging SPT Labtech’s all-in-one automated liquid handling platform, firefly®, this collaboration offers genomics researchers fully automated workflows for Roche’s KAPA EvoPlus and KAPA EvoPlus PCR-Free Kits (For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.)

    The combination of these technologies enables significant time savings in the laboratory for whole genome sequencing applications. This automation gives users the ability to run 96 samples at once, a substantial increase in throughput compared to manual operations. Moreover, this enhancement not only boosts productivity but also significantly reduces the risk of repetitive strain injury (RSI), a common concern associated with manual pipetting in high-volume sequencing tasks.

  • firefly+ sets a new efficiency standard in genomics by delivering maximum walkaway time in a compact and intuitive benchtop instrument.

    Cambridge, UK, 5 February 2024 - SPT Labtech, a global leader in the design, development and manufacture of automated instrumentation and consumables for life science applications, announces the release of firefly+, an expansion to its established firefly genomics liquid handling platform, integrating an on-deck thermocycler and increased labware capacity to enable complete hands-free Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) library preparation.
