The SoftLinx lab scheduling software is perfect for automating laboratory workflows for life sciences. Each lab instrument software interface has it’s own unique features, depending on the available functions on the instrument. In general, the interfaces open and close the microplate door, direct the instrument to run a particular protocol, and constantly check its status. With simple user modifications, your protocols can read the output of run, and make on-the-fly responses, based on the results.

This list is constantly changing as new interfaces are written.
