“This partnership between Peak Analysis and Automation (PAA) and diaago brings together two driven and solutions-oriented organizations to leverage scientific expertise and streamlined solutions for the benefit of the research community. We are excited to provide flexible, thoughtful laboratory automation and to collaborate with such a forward-thinking, and innovative partner in PAA, Dr. Helen Bennett, and the entire team. ” - Jackson Hyde, CEO of diaago

“We are proud to be in collaboration with diaago, combining PAA’s unique strengths, including the scientific review of methods for automation, with diaago’s commitment to delivering innovative solutions. As the demand for walk-away systems grows, there is a clear need for reliable automation in loading and unloading instrumentation. We are confident that the KX2 robot, delivered through diaago, will unlock new value for a wide range of laboratories by making fully automated solutions more accessible and impactful.” - Dr. Helen Bennett, PAA, Senior Medical Science Liaison

Micronic Tube Racks

PAA has been advancing laboratory automation for decades, with a portfolio that includes The Smart Cart, Overlord™ software, S-CEL workcells, and S-LAB™ plate handlers. Their proven focus on reliability, safety, and innovation makes them a natural fit within diaago’s offering. Through this partnership, solutions like the KX-2 robot, Smart Tables, and other PAA platforms can be combined with diaago’s portfolio; including AFYS3G Sigma recappers, Micronic tube handlers, SPL Guard thawing stations, and laboratory consumables to create complete, customizable workflows tailored to each lab’s needs.
 
The first offering in stock is the KX-2 Collaborative Robot. The KX-2 Collaborative Robot is designed with real-world lab challenges in mind. Its continuous 360° rotation, multi-link arm, and optional linear rail provide exceptional reach and instrument access, while its fully enclosed design ensures operator safety and easy decontamination, even in BSL-2 environments. With simple drag-to-teach programming, labs can automate workflows quickly without complex coding or steep learning curves.
 

PAA KX-2 Collaborative Laboratory Robot

 
Integration-ready: The KX-2 is built to integrate seamlessly with a wide range of laboratory automation systems. Within diaago’s portfolio, that means compatibility with platforms like the SPL Guard Arizona and Florida thawing stations, AFYS3G Sigma recapper series, Micronic CS700 screw cap recapper, Micronic DR rack readers, and more. This flexibility enables labs to create connected, end-to-end workflows with equipment and brand they already trust, maximizing efficiency while reducing barriers to automation adoption.
 
With the addition of the KX-2 Collaborative Robot, diaago and PAA are bringing labs a partnership that combines engineering excellence with practical accessibility, delivering automation that helps scientists do more, with less friction.
