Day 1 at Festival of Biologics EU is underway! We’re live at Booth 502 as part of the Danaher Corporation Life Sciences booth—alongside SCIEX, Phenomenex, and Genedata—ready to support scientists tackling complex biology. Today’s agenda dives into antibody engineering, cell line development, and automation in biologics workflows. These are exactly the challenges we’re addressing at Molecular Devices. We’re showcasing: The new SpectraMax® iD5e Multi-Mode Microplate Reader, offering five detection modes—absorbance, fluorescence, luminescence, TRF, and FP—to support evolving assay needs. Our application scientist is on-site and ready to demo our QPix® FLEX Microbial Colony Picking System, designed for low-oxygen environments, ideal for microbiome research. Stop by to see how we’re enabling Smart Discovery, Transformative Automation, and Insight Acceleration. 👉 Learn more about our presence at the show: https://lnkd.in/evcC3zPC #FestivalOfBiologics #BiologicsDiscovery #DanaherLifeSciences #MolecularDevices #ColonyPicker #MicroplateReader #AntibodyEngineering #CellLineDevelopment #Automation

In this Labcompare Q&A, Aaron Risinger of Molecular Devices shares why organoids are redefining how we approach complex biology. Here are six key benefits covered: 1. Human-relevant biology – Organoids recreate tissue architecture and cell-cell interactions that 2D cultures cannot. 2. Ethical innovation – They reduce dependence on animal models while increasing translational accuracy. 3. Quantitative monitoring – High-content imaging provides rich data on growth, morphology, and drug response. 4. Scalability through automation – Manual workflows limit throughput; automation and robotics remove bottlenecks. 5. AI-driven decision-making – Machine learning interprets imaging data to optimize when to feed, passage, or add growth factors during cell culture. 6. The move toward precision medicine – Patient-derived tumoroids enable drug testing tailored to individual biology. Aaron also points to how solutions like the CellXpress .ai Automated Cell Culture System are helping labs automate long-term culture and care of organoids—enabling reproducible, large-scale studies that were once incredibly challenging to perform manually. His perspective highlights the convergence of organoids, automation, and AI as a turning point for discovery and translational science.

What makes modeling neurodegenerative diseases so challenging? As Dr. Felix Spira explains in his recent Technology Networks Q&A, it comes down to the lack of physiologically relevant model systems: https://hubs.la/Q03KWh0f0. Traditional animal and 2D cell models simply don’t capture the complexity of the human brain, nor do they provide an accurate model for studying the development of conditions like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Felix draws on his expertise in 3D biology, microscopy, and automation to show how brain organoids are transforming neuroscience. He also highlights how automation is addressing the “storm of challenges” researchers face—manual bottlenecks, inconsistent quality, and lack of standardization. And with innovations like the CellXpress .ai Automated Cell Culture System, scientists now have access to the reproducible models and scalable technology required to push neurodegenerative disease research forward.

From India to San Jose, Boston to Winnersh, our associates came together for our annual Culture Day—a celebration of the people, traditions, and experiences that make our global community so special. This year’s events brought the world into our offices, with associate-hosted booths showcasing various cultures. From flavorful dishes to lively games and performances—including a Bollywood dance session that had everyone smiling—each experience highlighted the richness and creativity of our teams. Culture Day is more than a single event; it’s a reminder of how powerful shared experiences can be in building connection, understanding, and belonging. Whether stamping “passports” at booths, tasting something new, or simply enjoying conversations, our associates made the day unforgettable.
