A Smarter Path to Lab Automation

Laboratories face growing pressure to do more with less. Staffing shortages, increasing sample volumes, workflow variability, and quality requirements demand a new approach to automation. Brooks helps laboratories automate the processes that have the greatest impact on productivity and quality—allowing labs to start small and scale as needs evolve.

PathFinder Advanced Quality + Sorter IO

PathFinder™ Advanced Quality Module

Detect Quality Issues Earlier. Prevent Problems Later.

The PathFinder™ Advanced Quality Module performs automated sample quality assessments of samples in laboratory workflows, helping identify sample quality issues before they impact operations.

Using advanced machine vision and automated inspection capabilities, the module provides laboratory personnel with actionable information that supports more consistent routing decisions, validation processes, and operational efficiency.

Key Benefits

  • Automated quality verification
  • Early detection of sample exceptions
  • Reduced downstream processing errors
  • Limited unnecessary utilization of resources
  • Improved sample integrity assurance
  • Enhanced traceability and auditability
  • Less manual review and intervention

PathFinderTM Aliquot Module

Benchtop Sample Aliquoting with Confidence

The PathFinder™ Aliquot Module automates the creation and labeling of aliquots for Serum, Plasma and Urine. It reduces manual sample handling while improving consistency, accuracy, and traceability throughout the sample preparation process. 

By automating primary sample splitting into secondary tubes, laboratories can accelerate downstream testing, minimize sample mix-ups, and reduce the risk of operator variability.

Key Benefits

  • Automated aliquoting and tube labeling
  • Improved sample traceability
  • Reduced manual handling and variability
  • Increased throughput and consistency
  • Lower risk of sample mix-ups
  • Walk-away operation for laboratory staff
Next generation automation is embodied in this automated laboratory instrument, featuring three compartments, sample trays, robotic arms, and a touchscreen control panel on the left side.

A More Connected Path to Lab Automation

The future of automation isn’t a collection of standalone systems—it’s a connected ecosystem. Brooks solutions help synchronize workflows, automate material movement, and improve visibility across the laboratory. Our flexible architecture supports integration, enabling labs to connect technologies as they grow and adapt to changing demands. This creates a smarter, more responsive laboratory built for long-term success.
