FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Products & Solutions
What does Advanced Solutions Life Sciences do? Advanced Solutions Life Sciences designs intelligent laboratory automation platforms that combine robotics, software, artificial intelligence, imaging, incubation, and scientific expertise into connected ecosystems that improve reproducibility, increase throughput, and accelerate research.
What is autonomous biology? Autonomous biology is the next evolution of laboratory automation. Instead of automating individual tasks, autonomous laboratories connect instruments, software, data, and AI into a coordinated system that plans, executes, and documents complex biological workflows with minimal manual intervention.
What industries do you serve? Our solutions support pharmaceutical companies, biotechnology organizations, academic research institutions, contract research organizations (CROs), regenerative medicine, cell and gene therapy, drug discovery, tissue engineering, and advanced biomanufacturing.
Do I need programming experience to use your systems? No. Our platforms are designed for scientists, not programmers. BioApps® provide ready-to-run workflows, while BioApps Maker allows researchers to build custom workflows through an intuitive interface. BAB Intelligence™ also enables natural language interaction, allowing users to communicate with the system conversationally.
Can your systems be customized for my workflow? Yes. Every laboratory has unique protocols and research goals. Our modular platforms can be configured with different robotic tools, software applications, integrations, and workflow automation to match your specific needs.
Can your platforms integrate with equipment I already own? Many existing laboratory instruments can be integrated into our automation ecosystem. During project planning, our team evaluates your current equipment and recommends the best integration strategy.
Can I automate my existing assay? In many cases, yes. Our scientific and automation teams evaluate existing manual workflows and determine the most effective way to automate them while preserving experimental integrity and improving reproducibility.
Do I have to purchase a complete autonomous laboratory? Not at all. Many customers begin with a single application or workflow and expand over time. Our modular architecture allows laboratories to scale automation as research needs evolve.
Software & AI
What is BAB Intelligence™? BAB Intelligence™ is our AI-powered laboratory assistant that enables natural language communication, intelligent workflow planning, and data-driven decision making. Researchers can interact with the platform using conversational commands while maintaining full control of experimental workflows.
Can I create my own workflows? Yes. BioApps Maker allows laboratories to develop, modify, and optimize custom workflows without rebuilding automation from scratch.
What are BioApps®? BioApps® are application-specific automation workflows designed to perform common laboratory procedures consistently and reproducibly. They reduce implementation time by providing validated automation protocols that are ready to use.
Can I create my own workflows? Yes. BioApps Maker allows laboratories to develop, modify, and optimize custom workflows without rebuilding automation from scratch.
Implementation
How long does implementation take? Implementation timelines vary depending on system configuration and laboratory requirements. Our team works closely with customers throughout planning, installation, validation, training, and optimization to ensure a successful deployment.
Do you provide installation and training? Yes. Every solution includes installation, system validation, user training, and ongoing customer support to help your team maximize the value of your investment.
Do you provide scientific support after installation? Absolutely. Our relationship doesn't end after delivery. Our scientific experts continue working with customers to optimize workflows, answer technical questions, and support future expansion.
Benefits of Working With ASLS
What are the biggest benefits of laboratory automation? Laboratory automation helps improve reproducibility, increase throughput, reduce hands-on time, minimize human error, standardize workflows, enhance data quality, and free researchers to focus on scientific discovery instead of repetitive manual tasks.
Will automation replace scientists? No. Automation handles repetitive, time-consuming laboratory tasks so scientists can spend more time designing experiments, analyzing data, interpreting results, and driving innovation.
How do I know which solution is right for my laboratory? Every laboratory is different. Our team begins by understanding your workflows, research objectives, throughput requirements, and future goals before recommending the best solution.
How does automation improve reproducibility? Automated systems execute protocols the same way every time, reducing variability caused by manual techniques. This leads to more consistent experiments and greater confidence in research results.
Why choose Advanced Solutions Life Sciences instead of another automation company? Most automation companies build individual instruments. We build complete laboratory ecosystems. By integrating robotics, AI, software, imaging, incubation, storage, and scientific expertise into a unified platform, we help laboratories achieve greater efficiency, scalability, and more predictable scientific outcomes.
How do I get started? The best first step is to schedule a consultation with our team. We'll discuss your current workflow, identify automation opportunities, and recommend a solution tailored to your laboratory's needs.
