BioTek LHC SiLA software for washers and dispensers

LHC SiLA is liquid-handling control software that allows any BioTek LHC-controlled washer or dispenser to be integrated into a robotic system with SiLA compliance, equipping users with more flexibility in system configuration compared to conventional instrument drivers. Compatible instruments include EL406, 405 Touch, 405 LS, ELx405 Select Deep Well, MultiFlo and MultiFlo FX.

BioTek’s LHC SiLA driver was developed in accordance with the Consortium for Standardization in Lab Automation’s (SiLA) published set of universal methods for microplate washers and dispensers. SiLA develops and introduces new interface and data management standards, allowing rapid integration of lab automation systems.

The product provides flexibility in instrument component and automated system selection - users choose the best instrument for assay versus being limited to what can be integrated into current systems. Integration with automated systems is fast and seamless.
