SPT Labtech showcases firefly genomics solution on Melbourn Science Park

SPT Labtech hosted the UK leg of the firefly roadshow in Melbourn recently, giving the ideal opportunity for scientists working at the forefront of genomics to discover how they can accelerate their research with a one-to-one firefly demonstration.

firefly is SPT Labtech’s all-in-one automated solution developed specifically for the complexities and requirements of genomics research.

It features a streamlined NGS (next generation sequencing) library and sample preparation by combining multiple capabilities, including pipetting, dispensing, incubating and shaking within a single, compact, benchtop design.

With the introduction of firefly, laboratories can expect a boost in efficiency and workflow streamlining, enabling researchers to focus more on making breakthroughs in genomics.

firefly promotes true collaboration through seamless cloud-based sharing, enabling both internal and external teams to share protocols at the click of a button. “We believe that true innovation thrives in an environment of collaboration,” says Paul Lomax, head of genomics at SPT Labtech on Melbourn Science Park.

“firefly not only empowers individual researchers, but also facilitates teamwork to drive the entire genomics community forward.”

Daniel de la Torre, head of research and development at Constructive Bio, adds: “firefly hits the sweet spot for an early -stage company like ours, allowing us to quickly automate our most laborious and repetitive tasks without needing extensive in-house automation expertise.

“The team at SPT Labtech have been incredibly helpful, responsive and supportive in getting the systems up and running.”

STP Labtech has offices across Europe, in the US (California) and in Asia Pacific (including China, India and Japan).
