AI can schedule the run. ZdefLabs confirms the instruments are ready for it: level, calibrated and handling plates correctly, across every vendor. ZACK is our first tool.
Autonomous labs start runs at 2 a.m. with no engineer in the room. The expensive failures come from instruments that aren't ready, and nobody knows: a nest a fraction of a degree off, a gripper dropping plates into their seats, an arm fast enough to splash wells, a pipetting head out of parallel. Engineers check by hand with bubble levels, feeler gauges and phone video. The results live in a notebook, not in a system an agent can read.
Instrumented labware rides the same path as the samples.
A readiness record per station, not a paper sign-off.
Works across instrument makers in the SBS plate footprint, no integration needed.
ZACK checks nest level and records every handoff as it rides through the workcell. ZACK Hub, included, turns each run into a readiness record that people and agents check before a run.
