Automation infrastructure for plant biotechnology
Automated Protoplast Isolator ProtoSep
Fluidlab automates plant biotechnology workflows, starting with rapid, gentle, and reproducible protoplast isolation.
FluidLab Automation Platform
A protoplast automation platform for plant biotechnology
Fluidlab is building a modular platform for protoplast workflows. The first product is ProtoSep, an automated protoplast isolation device, and the broader platform is planned to support isolation, regeneration, imaging, and plant phenotyping workflows.
We combine practical protoplast isolation and regeneration know-how with microfluidics, automation, and workflow-specific modules that can make fragile plant cell work more repeatable.

The problem
Researchers still plan their day around protoplasting
Manual protoplast isolation is a bottleneck because it combines fragile biology, long hands-on time, and protocol knowledge that often sits with one experienced person.
Plant protoplasts are difficult to work with.
We just hired a postdoc who knows protoplasts.
When I do protoplasting I need to stay in the lab until the evening.
Our solution
ProtoSep automates the isolation step
ProtoSep is designed to take the most schedule-sensitive part of protoplast work out of constant manual handling. Researchers prepare the tissue and enzyme mix, load the sample, and let the device run a controlled isolation protocol.
The goal is simple: lower the skill barrier, reduce hands-on time, and make protoplast isolation more reproducible between experiments.
