General Automation Lab Technologies

Isolation Bio (formerly General Automation Lab Technologies) is a biotechnology company specializing in high-throughput microbial isolation and cultivation. The company's core technology, the Prospector Discovery Platform, utilizes nanoscale cultivation chambers to isolate and grow thousands of individual bacterial strains in parallel, overcoming the limitations of traditional Petri dish methods. This platform enables researchers in academia and industry to discover previously unculturable microbes and accelerate the development of novel products in human health, agriculture, and environmental science. By automating the labor-intensive process of microbial screening and picking, Isolation Bio provides a scalable solution for microbiome research and the commercialization of live biotherapeutic products.
