Lab Automation & Analytical Instrumentation
We partner with laboratories and instrument manufacturers building advanced lab automation systems and analytical tools.
Applications include:
Single-cell and sub-cellular workflows
Multi-step assay automation (lysis, dilution, reaction sequencing)
Real-time optical and spectroscopic analysis
By enabling containerless experimentation, we help partners:
Eliminate surface artefacts
Improve data fidelity
Design experiments around intrinsic sample behaviour
-
Precision Sorting & Materials Handling
We collaborate with OEMs and universities developing:
Optical sorting systems
Seed and food processing technologies
Recycling and materials recovery platforms
Our acoustic ejection technology integrates directly into existing systems to enable:
Multi-category sorting
Contact-free handling
Reduced waste and damage
This is a direct pathway for OEM technology solutions that replace mechanical and pneumatic subsystems.
-
Acoustic Levitation Hardware & Control Systems
At the core of every partnership is our deep expertise in:
Ultrasonic phased arrays
FPGA-based control electronics
Real-time acoustic field computation
These systems enable:
Levitation, translation, and rotation of particles and droplets
Multi-object manipulation and merging
High-speed, programmable actuation
We provide the foundation layer for software-defined manipulation systems.
-
Software-Defined Experimentation & Workflow Automation
AcoustoFab enables partners to move from manual processes to programmable workflows.
We support:
API-driven control (Python, C++)
Workflow orchestration for multi-step experiments
Integration into existing automation stacks
This allows partners to:
Rapidly prototype new processes
Standardise complex workflows
Scale experimental systems into production-ready platforms
-
Advanced Manufacturing & Materials Research
We partner with teams exploring:
Crystallisation and formulation science
Multi-phase material systems
Additive and contactless manufacturing
Acoustic levitation enables:
Containerless processing
Controlled phase transitions
Novel fabrication pathways
If your system benefits from contact-free manipulation, it fits within our partnership scope.
