Boost your plasma proteomics: The PreOmics ENRICH-iST kit automates enrichment of low-abundance proteins in plasma, serum, and CSF. Combined with the Beckman Coulter Biomek i7, it increases throughput, reduces manual errors, and streamlines sample prep for deeper insights into biomarkers and disease states.
Manual vial cleaning is time-consuming and prone to variability. Our robot-assisted solution automates vial handling and cleaning with high precision and reproducibility. The system ensures controlled process parameters, reduces operator dependency, and enables robust, standardized workflows for modern analytical quality control laboratories.
As another eventful year comes to a close, we want to extend our heartfelt thanks to all of you. Your support, dedication, and trust have made our achievements possible. We wish you and your loved ones a peaceful holiday season and a joyful start to 2026. Together, we look forward to new opportunities, exciting projects, and shared successes in the year ahead!
Today, a rather large package was delivered to us. What’s inside?
Let’s just say it’s going to take our lab automation to the next level.
For now, everything is still safely packed in its box – but curiosity is high, and unboxing is getting closer.
If you’re curious to find out what’s hidden inside and what we’re planning to do with it:
👉 Stay tuned and follow us into 2026.
More coming soon!

celisca expands its teaching portfolio with two new OpenTrons systems!
Supported by the Opentrons Education Program, the new platforms offer students hands-on experience in programming, system integration, and application development for laboratory automation — strengthening celisca’s long-standing commitment to innovation and education in automated laboratory processes.
Mit Datum vom 10.11.2025 wurde Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil. Kerstin Thurow (Lehrstuhl für Automatisierungstechnik der Fakultät für Informatik und Elektrotechnik der Universität Rostock) vom Präsidenten der Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung (BAM) im Benehmen mit dem Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft und Energie (BMWE) in den Wissenschaftlichen Beirat "Material" der BAM berufen. Die Berufung gilt für einen Zeitraum von 3 Jahren.
What once started as a research project has now become an integral part of daily laboratory operations: our mobile robots have matured and are now full-fledged research members of the celisca team.
SLAS Technology is pleased to announce the new Life Sciences and Society series, authored by SLAS Technology Associate Editor Kerstin Thurow, PhD (University of Rostock Center for Life Science Automation). The series explores the critical intersection where rapid scientific advancement meets societal impact. By exploring the social and ethical dimensions of life sciences, the series invites readers to critically reflect on how scientific discoveries shape our world and how society, in turn ...
Analytical laboratories are undergoing a fundamental transformation. In the face of increasing sample volumes, growing regulatory requirements, and the rising demand for faster, more precise, and cost-efficient analysis, optimizing laboratory processes is becoming a central focus. Automation technologies offer promising solutions in this regard. Recently, they have evolved from isolated solutions to comprehensive systems that permeate nearly all areas of laboratory practice...
