The Platform
Intelligent Robotics Meets Lab Orchestration
Two integrated systems that transform how your laboratory operates, from individual instrument islands to a fully orchestrated workflow.
Architecture
Not Point Automation. Full Orchestration.
Most lab automation solves one step at a time: a liquid handler here, a plate reader there. But the real bottleneck isn't inside the instruments. It's between them. Tactus takes a fundamentally different approach: Elsie by Tactus, a humanoid lab assistant who moves through the lab like a technician, paired with orchestration software that sees the entire workflow in real time.
The Robot
Elsie by Tactus
An autonomous humanoid lab assistant, purpose-built for regulated laboratory environments.
- Navigates existing lab layouts without infrastructure changes
- Handles slides, tubes, plates, and consumables with sub-millimeter precision
- Operates 24/7 with built-in safety systems and collision avoidance
- Rapidly trains on new instruments
- Designed for GLP/GMP/CLIA-compliant environments
The Software
Complete Audit Trail with Compliance-Ready Traceability
Orchestration software that monitors, dispatches, and optimizes every workflow in your lab.
- Real-time monitoring of all connected instruments and robots
- Dynamic task dispatching: assigns the nearest available robot automatically
- Intelligent sequencing and priority management across workflows
- Complete audit trail with full traceability for regulated environments
- Dashboard with live status, throughput metrics, and alerts
Integration
Fits Your Lab. Works With Your Instruments.
Tactus is designed to work alongside your existing instruments and workflows, not replace them. Elsie learns to operate third-party instruments through our training pipeline, and the orchestrator integrates via standard protocols. No rip-and-replace. No custom engineering.
- Works with instruments from all major manufacturers
- Integrates with existing LIMS and LIS systems
- Deploys in your current lab layout, no renovation required
Compliance
Built for Regulated Environments
- ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified, HIPAA and GDPR aligned
- Quality Management System aligned to ISO standards
- Electronic records and signatures
- Full audit trail: every robot movement, every sample handoff, every decision logged
