Ginkgo Automation partners with Aura Genetics for diagnostic testing

Ginkgo Bioworks (DNA) announced that Ginkgo Automation will design and deploy a Reconfigurable Automation Cart – RAC – system to Aura Genetics, a high-complexity diagnostic laboratory servicing the growing at-home testing and wellness market. This modular laboratory automation platform will be deployed at Aura Genetics’ new 22,000-square-foot high-throughput facility at the UPS Healthcare Labport, located at the end of the runway at the Louisville, KY airport. The RAC system, combined with Ginkgo Automation’s orchestration software and real-time error resolution services, aims to enable Aura Genetics to efficiently scale and streamline diagnostic testing workflows. Supported by Ginkgo’s team of automation engineers and scientists, Aura Genetics expects to be able to process tens of thousands of samples daily.
