Danaher To Launch Its First AI-powered Autonomous Lab To Help Researchers Develop Custom Antibodies And Other Molecular Tools Faster And More Efficiently; Expected To Operate At Scale In Early 2027

The lab will combine artificial intelligence, robotics and technologies from several Danaher operating companies in one connected workflow. It is the first step in a broader Danaher initiative to create smart instruments, integrated workflows and autonomous labs that accelerate scientific research. Danaher's first AI-powered autonomous lab is designed to deliver: Speed: Up to 8x faster discovery of affinity reagents, helping researchers get from idea to breakthrough sooner Scale: Unlocking up to a tenfold increase in annual reagent generation, from tens to hundreds of reagents per year as the lab scales Quality: Each design built in the lab would also be verified, tested and fed back to improve the next, without trading speed for scientific rigor Sustainability: Over time, this approach is expected to complement traditional immunization-based methods used in the discovery of antibodies and other research tools
