Automate the tasks that improve capacity, quality and continuity—while keeping laboratory expertise in control.
Download the InnoLinQ white paper: From Laboratory Technician to Process Operator—does automation truly add value?
At FROANT Lab Automation, we develop practical automation for clinical microbiology laboratories.
Instead of automating every possible step, we focus on the repetitive and time-critical tasks that create the greatest measurable value. InnoLinQ uses collaborative robotics to support fast, consistent inoculation while laboratory professionals remain in control of exceptions, priorities and microbiological decisions.
This operator-centred approach can increase usable capacity, reduce hands-on work and create a more predictable workflow—without forcing every specimen into one rigid process.
We begin by analysing your actual specimen mix, volumes, peak periods and workflow objectives. This allows us to design an automation solution around your laboratory, rather than redesigning your laboratory around the machine.
How much automation does your laboratory actually need?
The best solution is not automatically the system that performs the most steps without human intervention. It is the solution that delivers the greatest improvement in quality, capacity and continuity at a sustainable total cost.
Task-Targeted Automation selects the process steps where automation creates the most value. Assisted Automation keeps the operator in control wherever expertise, prioritisation or exception handling matters.
InnoLinQ automates repetitive and time-critical inoculation tasks while laboratory professionals retain control over priorities, exceptions and microbiological decisions.
Rather than automating every possible step, focus investment on the workflow tasks that measurably improve capacity, consistency and turnaround time.
A flexible concept supports different specimen containers and is designed to connect with other laboratory systems. Your workflow should determine the solution—not the other way around.
Smart coding is designed to provide fast, reliable identification with minimal consumable use.
Supports Petri dishes from different manufacturers, microscopy slides and broth tubes.
Reduces dependence on labels, ribbons and additional plastics.
Operational confidence
Robust mechanical design and clearly defined maintenance support help minimise downtime and keep operating costs predictable.
High-throughput inoculation helps laboratories process late-arriving samples and daily peaks without allowing work queues to grow.
Actual performance depends on specimen type, plate configuration and the laboratory workflow.
Lower initial investment
Predictable maintenance costs
Very low plate-coding consumable use
High-throughput inoculation for peak demand
Flexible integration into existing workflows
Simple operation that supports laboratory professionals
