Automation is transforming synthetic microbiology by enabling more efficient, reproducible, and scalable experimental workflows. However, setting up automated screening platforms for microbial species remains challenging, requiring careful optimization to balance data quality, throughput, and operational costs.
This webinar will explore how acoustic-enabled automation can streamline microbial screening workflows and accelerate scientific discoveries. We will discuss strategies for implementing automated phenotypic screening approaches that reduce experimental time, improve reproducibility, and optimize the use of consumables while maintaining biologically relevant experimental designs.
Through practical examples, participants will gain insights into the ways nano-miniaturization enhances the efficiency of microbial research, supports high-quality data generation, and unlocks new opportunities for applications in white biotechnology.

Head of the Strain Engineering Platform
Toulouse White Biotechnology
Paola Randazzo, PhD, is head of the strain engineering platform at Toulouse White Biotechnology where, since 2021, she has led a team of engineers specialized in microbial strain optimization for different industrial purposes. With more than 10 years of experience in microbial biotechnology, she specializes in genome editing, microbial screenings, and laboratory automation.
At Beckman Coulter Life Sciences, we are partners in time. We accelerate answers to critical questions through the power of efficiency, saving hours from some workflows and delivering reliable outcomes in liquid handling, genomics, flow cytometry, particle analysis/counting, and centrifugation.
