ALA New Product Award (NPA) Designation
Dozens of new products are introduced each year at the LabAutomation conference. To celebrate important breakthroughs and acknowledge the best of what's new, a team of volunteer experts selects up to three of the most promising new products launched at LabAutomation for official ALA NPA Designation.
When making decisions, judges look for extraordinary technical originality, anticipated impact on the field of laboratory automation, supporting data that respects universal scientific methodology, and market demand.
Products that receive the ALA NPA Designation illustrate the one-step-ahead commitment to efficiency and effectiveness that is unique to the professional specialty of laboratory automation. Complete program details.
