Welcome to SLAS!
A Message from the SLAS President
Two of the world's leading scientific membership organizations joined forces in 2010 to become the Society for Laboratory Automation and Screening. This united community focuses on advancing scientific research and innovation through laboratory technology.
SLAS has a global purpose and mission that serves scientists, engineers, professionals, and students from many disciplines and industries.
Within SLAS there are two sections: the Biomolecular Sciences Section and the Laboratory Automation Section.
Individuals may join one or both sections.
