2023 AWARDS WINNERS

Le Labo Durable 

ConsoLab

Challenges : 

  • Digitalisation / Use of big data
  •  Laboratory layout, Ergonomics
  • Sustainable development, CSR, more 'responsible' practices

Target users: Managers, researchers, technicians. The target markets are scientific laboratories in general and analytical science laboratories in particular.

Consolab: Reducing the Climate Impact of Laboratories
In response to climate challenges, Consolab is a web-based tool designed to help laboratories monitor and reduce their carbon footprint. It tracks electricity and water consumption per instrument, converts the data into kgCO2eq, and provides tailored objectives.

With detailed and exportable graphs, Consolab identifies the most energy-intensive areas and supports the development of action plans to lower GHG emissions. Developed by LABO DURABLE, Consolab assists laboratories in their ecological transition with reliable solutions aligned with regulatory requirements.

CATEGORY: CONSUMABLES/REAGENTS/KITS

Greiner Bio One 

Multi-MagPen

Challenges: Technological performance

Target users: Academic research and health and cosmetics laboratories working with 3D cell cultures.

The Multi-MagPen enables quick and easy transfer and collection of magnetised cell cultures. The system is compatible with 24- or 96-well systems. Magnetised cells are transferred by a simple pipetting-free collection and dispensing step. The Multi-MagPen can also be used to create and organise co-cultures of different cell types.

CATEGORY: EQUIPMENTS

Trionyx

Smart cabinets for stock management

Challenges: Laboratory layout, Digitalisation, Security

Target users: Academic research and all industrial laboratories needing to store products.

Series of fireproof safety cabinets with connected shelves for storing laboratory products. The cabinets are equipped with NFC technology, enabling the status of stocks to be checked at any time, for an automated inventory that can be managed remotely. The cabinets also ensure maximum user security.

CATEGORY: IT

Mettler Toledo

Artificial intelligence for DSC, AIWizard

Challenges: Technological performance

Target users: Academic research and research and development laboratories working in the field in the field of chemistry, metallurgy, petrochemistry, etc.

AIWizard uses artificial intelligence to interpret the results obtained by DSC. Analysing DSC measurement curves in a laboratory is often time-consuming and error-prone. This system, equipped with a trained neural network, is capable of processing the curves autonomously and adapting and improving its performance according to the materials tested.

CATEGORY: INSTRUMENTATION

Chemlys

ecTOF for GC/MS coupling and online analysis

Challenges: Technological performance

Target users: Academic research and laboratories using GC/MS.

The ecTOF is a high-resolution time-of-flight mass spectrometer that simultaneously ionises molecules separated by gas chromatography using two modes: chemical ionisation and electron impact. The two chromatograms obtained in parallel provide complementary information for more precise identification of the compounds analysed.

CATEGORY: SERVICES

New England Biolabs France

NEB Lyo Sciences

Issues: Laboratory layout, Safety

Target users : Academic research and all laboratories working in the field of life sciences.

NEB Lyo Sciences supplies lyophilised molecular biology reagents used in research and in vitro diagnostics. Custom solutions can also be manufactured. Freeze-dried products eliminate the need for refrigerated storage and the cold chain. For staff, operations are simpler and safer.

FRENCH START-UP PRIZE

GenSensor

Analysis of biological processes to monitor and optimise bioproduction

Challenges: Technological performance, digitalisation, sustainable development

Target users: Biopharmaceutical developers.

Gensor is developing a system comprising 4 modules enabling the production of biopharmaceuticals in the upstream phase to be monitored automatically and online. With the rapid development of innovative therapies (cell therapy) and new biomedicines (monoclonal antibodies, proteins, oligonucleotides, vaccines, etc.) using complex biotechnology processes, it is necessary to monitor cell production in real time and thus ensure quality and reproducibility. Two of the product's four modules are currently being industrialised, and proof of concept has been established for the cell concentration module.
