Advancing Automated 3D Cell Culture with Xeno-Free Platforms at SLAS 2026!

TheWell Bioscience will attend SLAS 2026 (Society for Laboratory Automation and Screening), the premier international conference and exhibition for laboratory automation, screening, and life sciences innovation, taking place February 9–11, 2026, at the Thomas Michael Menino Convention & Exhibition Center (MCEC) in Boston, Massachusetts.

TheWell Bioscience will showcase an end-to-end, xeno-free 3D cell culture platform, purpose-built to eliminate key bottlenecks in automated cell culture workflows and enable greater scalability, reproducibility, and operational efficiency.

Meet us at Booth #630!

Engineered specifically for laboratory automation, our xeno-free platform supports robotic liquid handling and high-throughput screening through room-temperature-stable hydrogels (VitroGel®), defined culture media (RocketCell™), surface-engineered cultureware (VitroPrime™), and standardized 3D analysis tools. 

 

TheWell Bioscience’s room-temperature-stable VitroGel® hydrogels and solutions are designed for direct integration with automated systems, enabling precise, repeatable dispensing with minimal setup or equipment modification, whereas animal-derived ECMs—which often require cold handling, temperature-controlled decks, specialized tips, pre-chilling steps, and workflow adaptations to accommodate viscosity changes.

 

By eliminating cold-chain dependencies and reducing variability associated with animal-derived materials, TheWell Bioscience enables more consistent automated workflows without compromising biological relevance. Our platform unites biological fidelity with automation performance—empowering scientists to seamlessly transition from early discovery to translational and industrial-scale workflows.
