SLAS Technology: Translating Life Sciences Innovation

Abstract

Welcome to the first issue of SLAS Technology! This journal* begins its 22nd year of publication with a new name and tagline (Translating Life Sciences Innovation) that much more accurately reflect the breadth of scientific and technological breakthroughs published within it.The SLAS journals and their readers have come a long way since Zymark's laboratory robotic system opened the floodgates to a tidal wave of seemingly limitless scientific change. In the process, the best and the brightest members of the SLAS life sciences discovery and technology community began relying on this unique journal to stay informed and connected, as well as to maximize emerging technologies to build better mousetraps.This trusted commitment to innovation is not changing. SLAS Technology's editorial rigor, integrity, aims, and scope are remaining solidly and dependably in place: SLAS Technology explores ways in which scientists adapt advancements in technology for scientific exploration and experimentation.SLAS Technology is a rigorously peer-reviewed, multidisciplinary journal devoted to the advancement of technology for conducting life sciences and biomedical R&D. It is an official journal of SLAS (Society for Laboratory Automation and Screening) and provides a unique international forum for the presentation of method-focused scientific reports.SLAS Technology emphasizes scientific and technical advances that enable and improve life sciences research and development, drug delivery, diagnostics, biomedical and molecular imaging, and personalized and precision medicine. This includes high-throughput and other laboratory automation
