KITCHENER, ON, Sept. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Scispot®, a leader in lab automation technology, today announced the launch of Labflows, a next-generation lab interface designed to streamline sample-centric workflows in commercial and regulated labs. Tailored specifically for molecular diagnostics, genetic testing, molecular pathology, clinical genomics, infectious disease testing, and personalized medicine, Labflows empowers labs to execute end-to-end workflows with unmatched speed and precision.

“By enabling lab operators to complete sample runs up to five times faster while ensuring full traceability and quality control, Labflows is setting a new benchmark for efficiency in labs,” said Satya Singh, President and CPO at Scispot.

Labflows is engineered to enhance every aspect of sample management—from registration through processing, analysis, and reporting. This innovative application within the Scispot platform provides a user-centric interface that consolidates all critical operations into a single intuitive dashboard. As the heart of Scispot’s alt-LIMS/LIS system, Labflows offers a comprehensive solution for labs that require fast, reliable, and fully traceable workflow execution.

“Labflows marks a significant step forward in lab automation,” said Satya Singh, President and CPO at Scispot. “By enabling lab operators to complete sample runs up to five times faster while ensuring full traceability and quality control, Labflows is setting a new benchmark for efficiency in labs.”

The introduction of Labflows brings a unified interface that simplifies workflow management, allowing lab operators to manage all stages of the sample lifecycle from one place. The design is user-friendly, reducing complexity and enabling technicians and scientists to move swiftly from sample registration to final report generation without unnecessary steps or delays. This end-to-end automation enhances productivity, ensuring that all data is connected, accurate, and fully traceable, eliminating manual errors and supporting compliance with stringent industry standards.

Labflows automates the integration of data from key instruments commonly used in diagnostics and research labs, including qPCR machines, next-generation sequencers (NGS), and automated liquid handlers. By seamlessly incorporating data from these instruments, Labflows facilitates automated analysis and reporting, speeding up workflows and reducing the potential for human error. The platform’s capability for automated pre-analysis and post-analysis quality control ensures that every sample meets rigorous standards before results are reported.

Furthermore, Labflows’ advanced capabilities allow labs to execute workflows up to five times faster, a critical advantage in high-demand environments where quick turnaround times are essential. By significantly reducing workflow execution times, Labflows enables labs to handle higher volumes of samples more efficiently, delivering faster results while maintaining the highest standards of quality and traceability.

Labflows is designed as a transformative solution to meet the growing demands of modern labs. Whether processing high-throughput genetic tests, managing complex molecular pathology workflows, conducting infectious disease screenings, or supporting personalized medicine initiatives, Labflows provides the speed, accuracy, and scalability that labs need to operate at peak performance.

America’s Largest Political Group Is Getting Its Own Election Night

Published

October 26, 2026

A record 45% of Americans identify with neither party. On November 3, they get the first nationally televised Election Night built around the independent voter bloc, presented by United Independents, the organization behind the Independent National Convention, in partnership with DeFiance Media.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Can the country’s largest bloc of voters turn identity into representation? Independents now make up 45% of U.S. adults, a record high in Gallup’s 2025 data, yet partisan coverage continues to dominate mainstream mediums. On November 3, one broadcast will cover the election from the Independent point of view.

Broadcast live from the National Press Club’s television studio in Washington, D.C. Election Night 2026: Independent Edition is an eight-hour program hosted by Christopher Life, founder and CEO of United Independents, and Macy Gunnell, NewsForce’s White House correspondent. DeFiance Media will be producing and streaming the broadcast.

Built on live election data from The Associated Press (AP), the program will call the national races as the returns come in. Then it goes where other broadcasts don’t: race-by-race coverage of independent candidates in consequential congressional contests, and guest conversations with the strategists and organizers behind them.

Built for the Voters Both Parties Are Chasing

Two generations of Americans have come of age as independent voters, and in 74 years of nationally televised Election Night broadcasts, not one has been built around them. This one is: national results and the balance of power, dedicated coverage of the independent candidates who could tip the next Congress, and a live chat with selected viewer questions put to the hosts and guests on air.

Open to Every Newsroom

Television pool feed. U.S. television outlets, including local stations, can carry the program live, in full or in part, separate from DeFiance Media’s full-program streaming.Social streaming. The broadcast streams through participating social media partners. Channels that want to carry it can sign up at Election2026.live.Live clips and excerpts. Newsrooms, commentators, and creators can pull portions of the program for reporting and social distribution while the broadcast is underway.

Request access through the Media & Distribution Access Form at Election2026.live.

Free and Accessible Nationwide

Going live Tuesday, November 3rd, 2026, from 6 PM- 2 AM ET. Updates, guest announcements, and viewing instructions: Election2026.live.
