VIENNA, May 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- MGI Tech Co., Ltd. (MGI), a company committed to developing core tools and technologies that drive innovation in life sciences, presented its latest advancements in laboratory automation and integrated workflow solutions at SLAS 2026 in Vienna, Austria.

At this year's event, MGI Tech highlighted a portfolio of intelligent automation and multi-omics solutions designed to accelerate research efficiency, simplify complex workflows, and empower emerging applications in proteomics and integrated laboratory automation.
PrepALL-pP8G: Advancing Single-Cell Proteomics Automation
As an extension of the PrepALL platform, PrepALL-pP8G expands its application into the field of single-cell proteomics, primarily for sample pretreatment. A key attribute of the PrepALL platform is its inherent flexibility, allowing seamless integration with external devices to broaden its application scope,of which the PrepALL-pP8G is a prime example. Designed to highly automate and streamline complex proteomics workflows, the system combines thermal inkjet printing technology with high-precision ultra-low volume dispensing to enable a fully integrated workflow from single-cell sorting to proteomics sample preparation. The official European launch is expected in the second half of this year.
Featuring 640 independent parallel nozzles and advanced AI-assisted camera vision recognition, the PrepALL-pP8G enables ultra-high throughput processing of 384-well plates in just minutes while preserving cell viability and protein integrity through gentle, electrical-deflection-free sorting. The platform supports label-free, labeled, and conventional proteomics workflows, making it suitable for applications including tumor heterogeneity research, rare cell analysis, organoid and stem cell research, and multi-omics integration.
GenSIRO48: Enabling Next-Generation Clinical Automation
Making its first international debut, MGI Tech also presented the SIRO48, an advanced fully automated sample processing system designed to deliver a "Sample In, Report Out" solution that accelerates and simplifies complex sample processing workflows. The system integrates nucleic acid purification, fragmentation, end repair, adapter ligation, PCR amplification, and library purification & quality control in a single workflow.
Engineered to evolve from step-by-step manual operations to integrated full-process closed loop, multi-step manual intervention to full-process unattended execution, and low-throughput single-sample processing to high-throughput parallel processing of 48 samples, it is purpose-built for seamless integration into real-world clinical molecular diagnosis, public health prevention and control, and life science research scenarios. This system enables a transformative leap in sequencing library preparation—from "isolated manual operations" to "full-chain intelligent automation".
VisiOmics (PMIF-20RS): Boosting Spatial Proteomics Exploration in Translational Medicine
MGI Tech was also showcasing the PMIF VisiOmics (PMIF-20RS), a fully automated staining and imaging system making its European debut. It leverages multiplex immune fluorescence (mIF) technology to capture precise spatial protein expression data in tissue sections. Integrated with an AI-powered analysis platform for accurate cell segmentation, phenotyping, and spatial mapping, it provides a complete workflow solution for applications in tumor classification, prognosis, tumor microenvironment analysis, and translational research. The official European launch of VisiOmics is also expected to take place in the second half of this year.
Driving the Future of Intelligent Laboratory Automation
"SLAS provides an excellent platform to demonstrate how intelligent automation is transforming life science research and clinical laboratory operations," said a spokesperson for MGI Tech. "Our latest solutions are designed to help laboratories overcome workflow complexity, improve scalability, and accelerate scientific discovery across rapidly evolving research areas such as single-cell proteomics and organoid biology."

Das Österreichische Rote Kreuz warnt vor Beginn der Urlaubssaison vor niedrigen Blutreserven und ruft die Bevölkerung dringend zum Spenden auf. Blut könne nicht künstlich hergestellt werden, eine Konserve sei nur 42 Tage haltbar und werde in Österreich im Schnitt alle 90 Sekunden benötigt, heißt es aus der Organisation. Ziel ist es, die Versorgung der Spitäler mit dem lebenswichtigen Notfallmedikament auch in den Sommermonaten abzusichern.
Bundesrettungskommandant Gerry Foitik verweist darauf, dass der Bedarf an Blutkonserven keinen Urlaub kenne. Blut werde nicht nur für Operationen benötigt, sondern ebenso für Geburten, Krebstherapien und die Behandlung verschiedener Erkrankungen. Gerade vor dem Sommer sei es daher wichtig, einen Termin zur Blutspende zu vereinbaren, betont Foitik. Spendenzeiten und -orte sind auf der Plattform blut.at gelistet, über die auch Terminreservierungen möglich sind.
Am Sonntag, dem 14. Juni, fallen Vatertag und Weltblutspendetag zusammen – ein Datum, das das Rote Kreuz für eine groß angelegte Aktion in Wien nutzt. In der „Arena 21“ im Museumsquartier (Museumsplatz 1, 1070 Wien) können Interessierte zwischen 10 und 12 Uhr sowie von 13 bis 16 Uhr Blut spenden. „Mit einer Blutspende retten Sie Leben“, sagt Simon Gänsdorfer, Leiter der Blutspende für Wien, Niederösterreich und das Burgenland. Die Aktion ist auch als Familienevent angelegt und soll insbesondere jüngere Menschen für das Thema sensibilisieren.
Begleitet wird die Veranstaltung im Museumsquartier von DJ-Musik, Vitamin-Mocktails, Gewinnspielen und einer Kids Area. Das Rote Kreuz setzt damit bewusst auf ein niederschwelliges Angebot, um Hemmschwellen beim Blutspenden zu senken und zusätzliche Zielgruppen anzusprechen. Neben der Sonderaktion am Weltblutspendetag bleibt die Blutspendezentrale in Wien (Wiedner Hauptstraße 32, 1040 Wien) ganzjährig geöffnet; auch in allen anderen Bundesländern bestehen laufend Möglichkeiten zur Blutspende.
