The Society for Laboratory Automation and Screening (SLAS) is an international professional society of academic, industry, and government researchers, as well as developers and providers of laboratory automation and screening technology. An important part of their mission is connecting laboratory technology providers—like us here at Beckman Coulter Life Sciences—with you.
Their flagship event, the SLAS International Conference and Exhibition, brings together thousands of scientists, researchers, academics, and government lab professionals from around the world to learn, share, and collaborate.
