Thermo Fisher announced a strategic collaboration with NVIDIA to embed AI across scientific instruments, lab software and data infrastructure, aiming to accelerate lab automation, improve throughput and connect instruments to large-scale AI models. The partnership emphasizes AI-ready workflows and instrument augmentation for routine lab tasks. Complementing that push, SPT Labtech and Twist Bioscience validated automated NGS library-prep workflows on SPT’s Firefly platform, enabling hands‑free FlexPrep runs and on-deck enzymatic fragmentation. Together, the deals signal industry momentum toward combined AI, cloud and automation stacks to boost reproducibility and scale sequencing pipelines.
