Vitality Robotics and MuriPhys announced a collaboration focused on necropsy standardization, workflow automation and research-data integration. The announcement describes the intended areas of collaboration.
Data Integration and Necropsy Standardization
Vitality Robotics develops automation and data-integration tools for laboratory workflows.
“By utilizing MuriPhys’ state of the art facilities and deep rodent research expertise, through this partnership, MuriPhys can participate in developing and can utilize Labtools.AI to integrate data directly from electronic lab notebooks (ELN) and laboratory information management systems (LIMS) into their necropsy workflows.” said Joe Webb, CEO of Vitality Robotics. “This streamlined data flow reduces manual input errors, enhances data integrity, and accelerates research timelines—key factors in preclinical studies”.
Robotics and AI for Preclinical Research
MuriPhys contributes rodent research, tissue-collection and study-execution experience to the collaboration. Automation and data-integration work are discussed and scoped for the particular application.
“Vitality’s robotics platform will provide MuriPhys with the flexibility to tailor automation protocols to the specific needs of each study, improving throughput and ensuring compliance with stringent regulatory standards,” said Ariel Vitenzon, PhD, founder and CSO of MuriPhys. “With enhanced audit trails and repeatable processes,our partnership is paving the way for greater transparency and reliability in preclinical research.”
Driving Innovation in Preclinical Research
The collaboration focuses on improving necropsy workflows and research-data handling. Current implementation, equipment access and deliverables are confirmed for the individual study.
