Contents of the Submission Form
After answering some short questions about yourself and your affiliation, we would like you to describe the research conducted by your group and how a Labbot instrument could benefit that research.
Briefly Describe You and Your Research Group
We would love to hear about your main themes of research and the questions that your group is trying to answer.
Describe Your Current Research Focus
What are your main themes of research, and which questions are you trying to answer? Maximum 100 words
Tell Us How You would Utilise a Labbot Platform
Describe how you would integrate Labbot into your research. We are particularly interested in visionary yet practical use cases that demonstrate Labbot’s potential to unlock new insights or accelerate experimental workflows.
The Main Part: Mini Research Proposal
Please outline a brief proposal (max 250 words) describing how you would integrate Labbot into your research. We are particularly interested in visionary yet practical use cases that demonstrate Labbot’s potential to unlock new insights or accelerate experimental workflows.Your proposal should include:
Scientific context: What is the biological/chemical/physical system or problem you're studying?
Current bottlenecks: What experimental challenges or limitations are you currently facing?
Labbot integration: How would you incorporate Labbot into your workflow?
Impact: What outcomes or breakthroughs could Labbot enable that would otherwise be difficult or impossible?
The more clearly you can connect Labbot to novel insights or efficiency gains in your research, the stronger your submission will be.

Applications
What can you investigate with Labbot?
Here are some of the most used ones.
Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation
Take full control of your condensates. Labbot can help you fine-tune solution conditions and map out phase behavior in unrivaled detail, giving you a better understanding of how droplets come and go.
Protein Interactions
Take classical methods to new heights with automated measurements. Detect ligand binding or oligomerization with FRET or by tracking changes in intrinsic fluorescence.
Amyloid Aggregation
Maximize the information obtained from each sample and untangle the complexities of fibril growth. By combining full spectrum readouts with light scattering and exercising complete control over sample conditions, you can easily set up your next amyloid experiment.
FAQ
