Operational Impact
Unlocking the power of lab automation. Using the no-code workflow builder and automatically generated instructions for in-lab setup, from labware and reagent details to deck layout, Synthace provides Syngenta with both a biological language for expressing automation needs and a tool to visualize the outcomes without stepping foot inside the lab. This removed the “black box” of automation scripts for their first time users who can understand what happens to their samples. Synthace’s easy to use interface hides the complexity of the workflows, allowing the end users to become more independent in their automation use. | |
Rapidly iterating automated workflows - in the office or remotely. Using Synthace’s detailed experimental previews that reduce the need for dry and wet lab testing, Syngenta’s automation engineers use core platform functionality to rapidly iterate on protocols in silico. They can now develop robust processes to meet the ever-increasing demands of their team’s scientists. Automation engineers were able to build complex workflows in days, not weeks or months, and their time was freed to improve other processes. | |
Automatically capturing, processing and storing all experimental results and metadata. Synthace minimizes manual data handling, and encourages organization-wide sharing of contextualized data sets. The Synthace platform knows how robots move samples and what biological meaning they have to the scientists, meaning Syngenta can track information with minimal effort. Syngenta has integrated the data tracking capabilities of Synthace with other solutions to build a mature ecosystem of lab tools that promote productive experimental design and execution. The Synthace platform has helped Syngenta achieve many drastic improvements to the accessibility, flexibility, and scalability of the Biologicals Group’s automation solutions. Syngenta’s scientists are now empowered to focus on the science rather than spending hours and days working out practical details for experimental execution and manual handling of experimental data. | |
