I will be at the SLAS (Society for Laboratory Automation and Screening) conference next week here in my hometown Boston. Here is what I am hoping to see:   Evidence of an improving economy I see that attendance registrations are up 30% over 2023. For such an established conference, this is often a proxy indicator for an improving sector. It is certainly consistent with the improving US macroeconomic indicators.   According to IMF world economic outlook from Jan 30, US growth for 2024 is now projected at 3.1%, a significant improvement over its Oct 2023 projection of 1.5%. It's also not far away from the 2000-2019 average of 3.8%. Notwithstanding some global risks to this growth such as the potential for conflict disrupting Red Sea and Persian Gulf trade routes, this growth is projected to strengthen into 2025. On the inflation front, the US Producer Price Index YoY (Dec 23) is now at 0.98%, compared to 6.42% last year. This is lower than the long term average of 2.61%. Such change, especially when combined with a stabilizing inflation outlook, is traditionally a strong leading indicator for positive investor sentiment and a resulting increase in project activity. As such, I am looking forward to speaking with industry stakeholders next week to get a confirmation of what we are seeing.   Decentralization of Healthcare The US healthcare landscape continues to transform through the growth of technologies that allow healthcare to move closer to the patient such as direct-to-consumer telehealth, vertical integration of the retail healthcare sector, and entry from non-traditional players. Medical diagnostics is experiencing the same dynamics such as integration of digital health technologies and at-home patient interfacing. I will be looking for these technologies and how this change is affecting the many stakeholders across our industry.   In summary, I predict that 2024 will be the start to an exciting period for the life science R&D and medical diagnostics industry. I am looking forward to seeing confirmation of this next week. If you would like to discuss such topics or would like to discuss how SCHOTT MINIFAB and SCHOTT can support you with your life science or #diagnostic consumable project, please visit me and my colleagues Ben Pricer, Andrew Campitelli and Edward Wilkinson at our booth 1470. We would be happy to see you there!

Do you like weekends and evening out? Us, at Abbelight, too! Think about this "Scenario", it is Friday night and your partner really wants to go out with you (and you don't want to sleep on the couch because you cannot join), what can you do? Well you can use Abbelight's Scenario! Scenario allows you to automatise your acquisition, with few clicks you can set multiple position, laser power and frames number, then you click play and come back when the job is done! Cool, isn't it? Think how many things you can do while the machine automatically acquires amazing images for you! Want to know more? Contact us and if you are attending #SFN2024 stop by Abbelight's boot to learn more. #superresolution #SMLM #TIRF #newfeatures

Sometimes, new technologies revolutionize workflows for established applications and change the way we think and operate. At other times, fully developed technologies are applied in a new way to greatly increase the effectiveness of traditional techniques. The cellenONE leverages Scienion’s high performance robotics and picoliter dispensing technology vetted by the FDA for diagnostics manufacturing to isolate single cells with unmatched accuracy. By coupling its aspirate-dispense capabilities with automated plate handling and a full API, the cellenONE HT completely revamps traditional cloning workflows offering fully autonomous cloning integration into existing workstations. This can also be applied to any plate based single cell application for high throughput single cell omics as well. Join us to kick the tires and light some fires under the perceived limitations of plate based single cell workflows. There are 24 hours in a day, let’s get robots to help us use all of them! #cellenONE #CLD #singlecellomics #automation #cellenion #biosero

Registration is open for our webinar with Synthace Optimizing Multi-Cellular Models for High-Throughput Screening Thursday, June 26 🕚 11am EDT | 8am PDT | 4pm BST Multicellular models offer huge potential in early #drugdiscovery by providing a more physiologically relevant environment that leads to improved success rates further down the development pipeline. Join us to hear from Kavita R., Markus Gershater and Maryia Karpiyevich, PhD Karpiyevich about how advances in software and hardware automation can be used to develop assays that offer more accurate predictability of new drug candidates, but also enabling researchers to leverage resources more efficiently through streamlined workflows and data-driven decision-making. https://bit.ly/3Xismd7 #drugdiscovery #drugdevelopment #labautomation #liquidhandling

🌟 Exciting Innovations in Exosome Diagnostics! 🌟 At the forefront of diagnostic and medical research, exosomes are tiny vesicles with massive potential. Yet, their isolation has been a challenging hurdle. Enter #AcouSome, a groundbreaking initiative by AcouSort AB, supported by the expertise of the #MIHfamily. 🔬 AcouSome: Revolutionizing Exosome Isolation This project seamlessly integrates acoustic separation and trapping into a single, automated chip-based platform. Unlike current manual and costly methods, AcouSome utilizes cost-effective polymer chips, ensuring stable performance and scalability. 🚀 Why AcouSome Stands Out: Efficiency & Purity: Rapid and clean exosome isolation for precise detection and analysis. Automation & Scale: Perfect for point-of-care testing and high-throughput lab diagnostics. Discover more about this cutting-edge innovation in our latest blog post here: https://lnkd.in/drE2jdd7 Let's transform diagnostics together! #MIHfamily #ExosomeDiagnostics #microfluidics
