Standardization in Lab Automation

SLAS 2012 in San Diego, California, USA, is quickly approaching. This conference draws 5,000+ innovative scientists, engineers, researchers and technologists from academic, government and commercial laboratories around the globe as well as 275+ exhibitors.  This yields an unparalleled opportunity to interact with colleagues, reinforce existing relationships and forge new ones.

SLAS also provides an ideal venue for all of us who support the SiLA initiative to come together in one place at the same time.   With that in mind, we would like to invite you to an informal meeting to be held in our booth before the exhibition opens for the day. This will give you the opportunity to meet others from the industry who believe in the value of unified standards and support the initiative within their organizations, to share experiences and successes with using SiLA, and to meet with the newly formed SiLA Working Group USA and with some of the core SiLA leadership.   We will share with you the recent advances made by SiLA and the roadmap ahead.

So please join us for this informal gathering before the day gets started at SLAS 2012 and feel free to pass this invitation on to others within your organization.

Finally, we’d like to remind you that Dr. Niklaus Graber, SiLA Executive Board Member, Vice President will be presenting his talk,  “SiLA – Standardization in Lab Automation” at the Standards Initiatives Special Interest Group session on Wednesday afternoon, from 11:30 to 1:00.  Dr. Graber’s talk will show what standards are currently being developed by SiLA, how workgroups are formed for the development and how various parties contribute to these standards. Come to hear this informative talk.
