MGI Tech Unveils Next-Generation Automation Portfolio at SLAS Europe 2025

HAMBURG, Germany, May 21, 2025 – MGI Tech Co., Ltd. is at the forefront of innovation in life sciences, proudly presenting its latest automation solutions at the highly anticipated SLAS Europe 2025 event. This new lineup includes PrepALL, a flexible liquid handling system, and an upgraded version of the Smart 8, catering to a diverse range of laboratory needs.

Revolutionizing Lab Automation with PrepALL

The PrepALL platform is designed to simplify complex tasks in laboratories without incurring the exorbitant costs associated with traditional systems. With its compact design occupying just 0.7 m² and featuring 16 SBS deck positions (expandable to 41), it is tailor-made for first-time adopters of automation or those looking to scale their research initiatives. Its key features include:

• - High-Precision Performance: Offering 8 independent channels catering to volume ranges of 0.5–1200 µL, the system maintains impressive coefficients of variation (CVs) of less than 3% for lower volumes and less than 1% for higher volumes.
• - User-Friendly Setup: The plug-and-play nature of PrepALL is complemented by integrated visual systems to automatically identify consumables and calibrate positions.
• - Complete Traceability: The built-in sensors equipped with data logging capabilities ensure that all procedures yield reproducible and consistent results.

By leveraging advanced vision-based AI technologies, PrepALL excels in critical applications such as nucleic acid extraction, sample preparation, and NGS library preparation. This powerful automation system is designed not only for efficiency but also to address cost and complexity barriers that often hinder smaller laboratories.

Introducing the Enhanced Smart 8

Alongside PrepALL, MGI has reintroduced the Smart 8, which first launched in 2022. This advanced robot features enhanced eight-channel pipetting capabilities combined with smart gripper technology. The latest updates allow for AI-optimized pipetting, significantly increasing operational speed by up to 20%. This enhancement is particularly beneficial for high-throughput tasks such as nucleic acid extraction and microbial screenings, effectively improving reproducibility and efficiency for labs seeking reliable automation solutions.
