Life Science Applications
Custom Laboratory Automation for Biopharma & Life Science Workflows
Velsson helps pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and research teams automate complex laboratory workflows across discovery, development, and production.
From sample preparation and cell culture to genomics, screening, analytical integration, and process scale-up, we design automation around the application. Velsson can connect compatible robotics, instruments, software, consumables, and data to reduce manual work and improve workflow consistency.

How we approach these applications:
Velsson starts with the workflow requirement. Specific automation,
instrumentation, software, and integration options depend on the
application, compatible interfaces, physical requirements, throughput,
and the technologies already used in the laboratory.
Where Automation Helps
Common Bottlenecks in Life Science Workflows
The problem is not always the science. Often it is the repeated handling, instrument handoffs, or process constraints around it.
Too Much Hands-On Time
Velsson can automate or connect pipetting, mixing, dilution, dispensing, transfers, plate handling, and other repetitive sample preparation steps.
The Instruments Do Not Hand Off Cleanly
We evaluate compatible instrument interfaces, communication protocols, robotics, software, and physical workflow requirements to determine how the process can be connected.
The Current Process Has Reached Its Limit
Automation can be designed around current requirements while allowing for additional samples, instruments, process steps, or future scale.
The Consumable Puts Manual Work Back Into the Workflow
Velsson also supplies automation-compatible tips, plates, tubes, reservoirs, and cell culture products for automated laboratory workflows.

Life Science Automation Questions
Questions About Custom Application Automation
Does Velsson have to supply every instrument in an automated workflow?
No. Velsson can evaluate compatible instruments and technologies
already used in the laboratory. Integration depends on available
interfaces, communication protocols, physical requirements,
software, and the needs of the workflow.
Can Velsson automate a workflow that does not fit a standard platform?
Yes. Velsson designs custom laboratory automation around the
process. A project may involve one repetitive task, several
connected instruments, or a larger integrated workflow.
Can we start with one bottleneck and expand the automation later?
Yes. Where appropriate, automation can be planned with future
throughput, additional instruments, new process steps, or expanded
production requirements in mind.
Can Velsson support automation for process development and GMP production?
Velsson can configure automation for process development and GMP
production applications based on the customer's workflow,
documentation, validation, compliance, and production requirements.
