Who we are

The Laboratory Robotics Interest Group is the largest dues-free not-for-profit special interest group focused on laboratory automation.

LRIG sponsors regional scientific/social meetings, forums, and exhibitions to foster networking opportunities creating an environment where sharing new techniques, technologies, and discoveries enables the community to move forward toward further discoveries.

Among the topics discussed are the uses of laboratory automation in high throughput screening, drug discovery, genomics, synthetic biology, gene editing, biobanking, chemical synthesis, compound purification, compound distribution, data management, pharmaceutical dosage form, dissolution testing, bioanalytical technology, chemical analysis, validation, and product formulation.

Our mission is to provide and facilitate instruction for both self-development and the benefit of the laboratory automation community.
