Hudson Lab Automation

Hudson Lab Automation, formed from the unification of Hudson Robotics, Art Robbins Instruments (ARI), and Tomtec, is a consolidated player in the lab automation sector. The company leverages decades of combined expertise to offer a comprehensive portfolio of automation hardware, software, and consumables, focusing on custom integration and workflow optimization for life sciences research. With a strong foundation from its acquired brands and a streamlined service network, Hudson targets efficiency gains in high-growth areas like next-generation sequencing, high-throughput screening, and synthetic biology. It operates as a private, revenue-generating equipment and solutions provider rather than a therapeutic developer.

Integrated hardware-software ecosystem for laboratory workflow automation, including robotic liquid handlers, microplate handlers, workstations, colony pickers, specialized protein crystallography tools, and control software. Capability for full custom integration of multi-vendor work cells.

Hudson competes in a fragmented but competitive market against large diversified players like Thermo Fisher Scientific and Danaher (Beckman Coulter) and specialized automation firms like Hamilton Company, Tecan, and PerkinElmer. Its differentiation lies in deep customization, application-specific expertise, and its legacy as a manufacturer of core instrumentation (OEM).
