Synthace

We have some really exciting news.. Synthace and SPT Labtech are joining forces to make Design of Experiments (DOE) more accessible in life sciences labs today! Our new partnership brings together Synthace's powerful lab automation software and SPT Labtech's innovative hardware to transform your lab by putting DOE at the forefront of scientific discovery. 🤝 Collaboration is key, and we're here to help you have those important conversations about integrating DOE into your workflow. 💡 The future of lab work is here, and it's all about synergy between software and hardware. Together, we're opening new possibilities for scientific breakthroughs. Ready to elevate your lab's capabilities with more efficient, insightful experiments? Stay tuned! We’re launching on Sept. 4 🚀 #LabInnovation #DOE #LifeSciences #Collaboration

7 DOE (Design of Experiments) books we love, a timeless selection 😉 Here is the list + why we love them. P.S. Please share with us any of your picks. *** #DOE #DesignOfExperiments #Science #Biotech #Healthtech

If you need help with your experiment, what do you do? 🙇 Synthace customers have access to automation engineers, lab scientists and Synthace experts - who are on call to help you plan, execute and analyse your experiment. ❌ No more 6-week turnarounds, trying to plan an automated experiment... ❌ No more stress when you just can't make your liquid handler run... ❌ No more lonely afternoons trying to make sense of your data... We've got you ✅

AI has changed the game when it comes to the way we do science. It's like we've suddenly been handed a superpower, but "with great power comes great responsibility." And sure enough, we've seen that play out in the world of drug discovery. The emergence of AI has brought us a treasure trove of solutions: speeding up drug discovery timelines, more accurate predictions of drug efficacy, and the ability to crunch through mountains of data faster than ever before. But, it also opened up a Pandora's box of challenges. What are these problems? That's exactly what we'll be discussing! In a few weeks our CSO Markus Gershater will join 500+ other pharma leaders at Lab of the Future. We're excited to be taking part in this important event driving digital transformation in drug discovery. Will you be there? #healthtech #labofthefuture #AI #drugdiscovery

"Ah, the sweet sting of science" 🐝 This week in Synthesis: – One colleague's enthusiastic response to an experimental fiasco got Lucia Dunajová thinking about why it's important to normalize failure – Nathan Hardingham demonstrates how normalizing failure is done for the lab automation community here on LinkedIn – Markus Gershater ponders whether we use biology's complexity as an excuse when an experiment fails, plus how applying multifactorial methods can help give us more agency – Our DOE evangelists Michael Sadowski and James Arpino thoroughly enjoyed answering folks' questions in our first ever DOE Office Hours (Psst: You can catch up on demand) – On September 12th at 11 am ET / 4 pm BST, Michael will be hosting our second DOE Office Hours session with Nathan Hardingham, and answering questions on applying DOE to your experimentation In content we're loving: – Proteomic aging clock predicts mortality and risk of common age-related diseases in diverse populations – Artificial light at night decreases leaf herbivory in typical urban areas – Want to spot a deepfake? Look for the stars in their eyes #DOE #DesignOfExperiments #DOEForBiology #LabAutomation

Scientists, R&D leaders, biotech and DOE enthusiasts? 🧬🔬 Get ready for our next episode of DOE Office Hours mini webinar series on September 12th. This time, we'll be diving deep into the applications of Design of Experiments, and we'd love you to be part of the conversation. Hot topics on the agenda include: ☑ DOE for protein purification ☑ DOE for assay development and optimization ☑ DOE for media optimization The best part? You can submit all your questions in advance! Our experts Dr Michael Sadowski (aka Sid) and Nathan Hardingham will be answering your questions about applying DOE to your experimentation.

I think sometimes we use biology’s complexity as an excuse. When an experiment fails, it can hurt: it’s hard to deal with, given all of the efforts and emotional energy we’ve invested. So as a defense mechanism, our response is often to blame it on biology. We sigh, we commiserate with our colleagues: “Science is hard.” And of course, that’s true. Biology is complex, and if we blamed ourselves every time, we wouldn’t stay biologists for long. But here’s the challenging bit: are we so used to the difficulties of biology that we don’t spend enough thought on how we could do better at unpicking that complexity? If an experiment gives inconclusive results, it’s because biology is highly variable and complex.  There can be a certain blameless fatalism to the whole thing. But what we’ve learned at Synthace is that our lack of agency doesn’t always come from biology itself— but often from the methods we’re using to try and understand it. Without multidimensional ways to study biology, and the complex interactions at the heart of all biological systems, failure will always be commonplace. But we’ll be ok with that, because, you know.  Science is hard. #Biology #DOEForBiology #DesignOfExperiments Image credit is Nathan W Pyle- go check out his website! :)  

We asked 250 scientists and lab leaders what's really going on in life science R&D, of course we have tons of eye-opening insights! Dive deep into 10 key findings that could change how you run your lab and grab the full report here:  https://lnkd.in/eRV3V8p8 #labautomation #lifesciences #biology

Downstream purification - 7x faster. RoboColumns are a neat solution to miniaturize purification processes - and can completely transform a purification scale-up process, but... ...programming complex purification workflows on a liquid handler can be very difficult. That's where Synthace can help. ✍ Plan your purification experiment in a simple, no-code interface 👁 Preview your entire experiment before you've entered the lab 💿 Have your data automatically aligned & uploaded back into Synthace 🍒 Cherry-pick samples of interest, based on your data, to use them in further experiments ...and easily apply a Design of Experiments approach to your workflow in a few clicks. Mic drop? See for yourself. #RoboColumns #labautomation #DOE

Using Design of Experiments - and a powerful liquid handler - shouldn't be complex. By collaborating on a DOE experiment, Hamilton Robotics & Synthace demonstrate just how easy it can be. 💧 7 factors 🧪 96 runs 👯♀️ 3 replicates 🫨 1000 (ish) liquid handling actions ...done in an afternoon. 🤷 #labautomation #DOE #DesignofExperiments
