Lab Automation
Challenges of Lab Automation
Traditional lab automation is often too expensive, complex, and space-consuming for most labs. Large systems take months to deploy, require specialized infrastructure, and are optimized for high-volume production rather than the flexible, high-mix workflows common in research and testing. As a result, many labs still rely on manual processes, facing inefficiencies, errors, and limited scalability.
Explore Different Applications
Dorna can be easily integrated into the operations and effortlessly handle Lab Automation tasks.
Capping and Decapping
Automate the tedious process of sealing and unsealing tubes with precision and consistency. Our system ensures secure closures, reduces repetitive strain for lab staff, and minimizes the risk of contamination.
Sample Transfer
Streamline the movement of tubes, plates, and other labware between instruments and stations. With fast, reliable handling, our robots reduce manual errors and free researchers to focus on higher-value work.
Inspection and Verification
Ensure sample quality and traceability with automated inspection and barcode verification. Integrated vision systems check labeling, orientation, and sample integrity to maintain reliable, auditable workflows.
Flexible Automation for Any Workflow
Our platform adapts to the unique requirements of each lab. From simple pick-and-place tasks to complex multi-step workflows, you can configure and reconfigure modules with ease. This flexibility makes automation practical even for high-mix, low-volume operations.
Precision and Reliability You Can Trust
Accuracy and repeatability are at the heart of lab automation. With industrial-grade performance, our robots deliver consistent results that reduce errors, improve traceability, and ensure confidence in your data.
Simple Integration, Scalable Growth
Designed for easy integration, our solutions work seamlessly alongside existing lab equipment. Start small with one automated process and scale up as your needs grow — lowering barriers to automation while maximizing long-term value.
Bring Automation to Your Lab Today
Discover how cost-efficient, modular robotics can free your team from repetitive work and accelerate your research. Whether you’re starting small or scaling across workflows, our solutions make automation accessible and practical.
The impressive flexibility of the Dorna 2 robotic arm enabled us to quickly adapt it to several different uses within our lab. Developing a new workflow is quick and easy with the web-based control software, while still allowing for more advanced control via the Python API. In fact, this is my preferred way to work with the product; fast iterative testing via Dorna lab, and then translating to Python before further developing into a final protocol.
