Laboratory & Life Sciences Automation

We translate your complex laboratory processes into custom automated systems that ensure precision, reproducibility, and data integrity. With over a decade of robotics and system integration experience, we deliver turnkey solutions that bridge the gap between manual benchtop lab equipment and inflexible large-scale OEM systems.

Customer Application Areas

Cell & bioprocess manufacturing Automation

Automated bio-manufacturing benefits your company by reducing manual intervention, while increasing both throughput and batch-to-batch consistency. Empowered by complete electronic traceability, you understand the data behind each step of your process.

Materials processing and characterization

Automated equipment plays a critical role in scaling your processes; from synthesis to characterization, automation increases accuracy, yield, and data creation for traceability and certification.

High-Throughput Laboratory Automation

Automated liquid handling and sample management dramatically increase throughput compared to manual methods while reducing errors. This enabling faster discovery while improving data quality and reproducibility.

Why Companies Choose Sage Automation

We Bridge the Scale-Up Gap

You've proven your concept at the benchtop, but you're not ready to spend $2M on a single-purpose OEM system—or you need something that simply doesn't exist. That's where Sage excels: custom automation at pilot and production scale, designed specifically for your process.

Vendor-Agnostic Integration

We don't sell equipment—we integrate it.

Want a Sartorius bioreactor with Allen-Bradley controls? Need to connect Thermo Fisher liquid handlers with a Zeiss SEM? We make incompatible systems work together seamlessly, giving you best-in-class components without vendor lock.

Flexible & Collaborative Approach

Every laboratory has unique processes and requirements. We work closely with your team to understand your specific needs, then design custom solutions that integrate seamlessly with your existing equipment and workflows. Need to modify the system in 6 months? We can design for adaptability.

Bay Area Presence

Located in the heart of the Bay Area biotech ecosystem, we provide rapid on-site support and collaboration. When you need adjustments, troubleshooting, or expansion, we're here—not across the country or waiting for an OEM service contract.

"In over a decade of building automation systems across industries, we've learned that success comes from understanding not just the machines, but the process they serve. That means understanding the science, the application, and the critical importance of getting it right every time. We bring that commitment to every project."
