The Upstate New York Laboratory Robotics Interest Group, or LRIG, provides a means for people interested in automated laboratory technology to meet regionally local peers and equipment vendors, and to share information and best practices.
LRIG’s other goals include: facilitating communication among users and providers of lab automation, encouraging open discussion of new automation technologies beneficial to the lab automation community, and providing a venue where new technologies and instruments are viewed and evaluated.
Nationally, the nonprofit LRIG has over 9,000 members consisting of engineers, scientists, academics and others interested in using automation in the life sciences and drug/chemical discovery areas. A majority of members work in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, but other fields include the chemical, agriculture, cosmetic, food, and specialty industries. Multiple regional meetings are held each year, allowing LRIG members to share their experiences in using laboratory automation. Topics frequently discussed include using laboratory automation in high throughput screening or drug discovery applications, as well as using it for general testing, data management, sample preparation, sample validation, combinatorial chemistry and product formulation. The Upstate New York chapter is the newest LRIG chapter – having hosted its inaugural meeting in the fall of 2006 in Albany, NY.
