celisca Summer Break
After successful months presenting our research at numerous conferences, celisca is now heading into summer break to prepare for upcoming exams. We’ll be back in October with renewed energy. Wishing all partners and friends a wonderful summer!

Automatisierung und Vielfalt
Automatisierung prägt zunehmend Lebens- und Arbeitsbereiche – effizient, skalierbar und scheinbar neutral. Doch bildet sie gesellschaftliche Vielfalt ab oder verstärkt sie Ausgrenzung? Wer entwickelt diese Systeme und für wen? Prof. Dr. Kerstin Thurow hat für die Essay-Reihe der Akademie der Wissenschaften Hamburg zum Thema „Vielfalt“ einen Beitrag über Automatisierung als Chance und Risiko für Vielfalt geschrieben.

New Team Member in Process Visualization: M.Eng. Manojkumar Krishnaramanujam Baskaran

celisca Part of industrial Leadership Track at HPLC 2025
At the Industrial Leadership Track of HPLC 2025 in Bruges, leading voices from industry and academia came together to discuss the future of analytical laboratories. Key topics included digital transformation, AI, robotics, sustainability, and the need for interoperable instruments and FAIR data practices. Celisca contributed its expertise in lab automation, system integration, and education of the next generation of scientists.

celisca at HPLC 2025
I am excited to share that I will give a plenary lecture at HPLC 2025 in Bruges this June! The talk, "Automating the Analytical Laboratory – Current Developments and Future Perspectives", will explore cutting-edge automation trends and their impact on analytical science. I am looking forward to meet you at the world’s leading conference on liquid phase separations!

Automation Solution for the Determination of Benzoic Acids
The sample preparation for the determination of benzoic acids and their derivatives is a highly labor-intensive and time-consuming process that requires significant manual effort. To improve efficiency and reproducibility, a fully automated method based on a liquid handling system was developed. This approach utilizes Positive Pressure Extraction to standardize sample preparation and increase throughput. The system has been thoroughly validated, ensuring precise and reliable analysis.

celisca at INES 2025 – Talk by Prof. Al-Okby on UWB-based Tracking Systems
Accurate indoor localization remains a key challenge in complex, multi-zone environments. At INES 2025, Prof. Dr. M.F.R. Al-Okby will present our latest research on a UWB-based tracking system designed to address this issue with high spatial and temporal resolution.
