The Daisy Platform: Modular Lab Automation for Every Lab
Modular lab automation for every lab. Daisy from Scalables is a benchtop platform built from plug-and-play laboratory pumps, valves, sensors, and motion modules — buy only what you need, daisy-chain it together, and reconfigure as your protocol changes. In this video, see Daisy set up and running end to end: tubing installed in the Daisy Peri T, power and data connected, parameters and automation set from the Daisy Controller software and a Python notebook, modules daisy-chained together, tubing fitted to the Daisy Sol-Val XL and routed through the Peri T, and an AI Assistant writing the starting script. Then watch it work: automated fluid transfer from source to collection vessel, automated valve selection between two liquids, and a full Gantry + Sol-Val XL + Peri T setup dispensing by a script, hands-free. The Daisy is a modular and affordable lab automation platform, without the cost or rigidity of traditional robotic systems. Start by automating the one protocol that's slowing you down most, then reconfigure the same modules as your next project calls for it.
Daisy Sol Val XL Quickstart
Set up the Scalables Daisy Sol Val XL high-flow 8-valve manifold from tubing assembly to an automated valve switching application. This video covers tubing assembly, connecting to power, using the Daisy Controller Software, and an automated valve switch application.
Daisy Piston Quickstart
Set up the Scalables Daisy Piston precision displacement pump from tubing assembly to a ready-to-run aliquoting application. This video covers tubing assembly, connecting to power, using the Daisy Controller Software, homing the pump, priming the tubing, and a simple aliquoting application.
Daisy Peri T Quickstart
Set up the Scalables Daisy Peri T peristaltic pump from tubing insertion to a calculated calibration value. This video covers tubing installation, connecting to power, using the Daisy Controller Software, priming the tubing, and calculating a calibration value.
Daisy Peri P Quickstart
Set up the Scalables Daisy Peri P precision peristaltic pump from tubing assembly to a calculated calibration value. This video covers cartridge installation, connecting to power, using the Daisy Controller Software, priming the tubing, calculating calibration value, and cleaning the pump after use.
