Tecan aims to bring unused lab data to life with NVIDIA

Tecan pioneered the transition from manual pipetting to precise, robust, scalable automated pipetting in thousands of labs worldwide. Having led the first lab revolution Tecan continues to push lab automation by launching modern lab productivity products, such as Introspect, the lab analytics platform. Today, there is an exciting opportunity as a significant amount of the lab-generated data is not fully utilized.

Through the collaboration between NVIDIA and Tecan, the companies aim to ignite the next lab revolution, using AI and this yet unmapped data landscape to enable breakthrough discoveries and unprecedented productivity gains. Together, NVIDIA and Tecan are working to establish Data-Driven Labs.

Integrating NVIDIA GPU-accelerated models and libraries into Tecan’s products focuses on turning lab data into actions and impact. By linking scientific and operational data they target accelerating Tecan customers’ development of new treatments, as well as use physical AI to further scale up the usability and robustness of Tecan instruments.

«Artificial Intelligence is transformational but has yet to realize its full potential in the lab space and for the benefit of patients and science” said Monica Manotas, CEO of Tecan. “By pairing our lab footprint and expertise with NVIDIA’s state-of-the-art AI platforms and insights, we are uniquely positioned to help our customers address the growing need for higher lab productivity, faster discoveries, and intelligent automation solutions.»

The scope of this collaboration includes:

• Agentic AI Introspect to increase Lab Productivity using NVIDIA Nemotron models and microservices
• Discovery Introspect to support Faster Discoveries using NVIDIA CUDA-X libraries and NVIDIA Nemotron models
• Physical AI to enable Next-Gen Lab Instrumentation integrating NVIDIA Cosmos open world foundation models and similar models
