Titian to provide specialist insight as founding sponsor of ELRIGfr for the French speaking community

LONDON, UK (7 November 2013): Leading sample management software provider, Titian Software, is pleased to announce that it is a founding sponsor of ELRIGfr for the French speaking community, a new division of the special interest group for laboratory automation and robotics. ELRIG has had great success across Europe, particularly the UK, building a strong scientific network for the automation community via a series of meetings and conferences. Titian will play a proactive role on the ELRIGfr steering committee, helping to establish in mainland Europe ELRIG’s successful formula for an open-access, informative communication forum for researchers and vendors.

ELRIGfr – born out of ‘Le Club Robotique’ - will enable ELRIG members to share educational resources and experiences in areas such as drug discovery and recombinant protein technology, with a larger network of people, offering increased collaborative and networking opportunities.

As the forefront developer and integrator of sample management software, Titian partners with numerous word-class automation providers, and will bring a unique overview of the industry to the ELRIGfr committee. Edmund Wilson, Titian Software’s CEO, comments: “Working closely with pharma and bio-pharma companies we gain a first-hand understanding of the need for advanced automation capability, particularly with the modern, high-throughput nature of laboratories. Automation and robotics is rapidly evolving and we are delighted to be founding sponsors of ELRIGfr, to share our perspective and highlight important industry topics and trends.”

ELRIG is a not-for-profit special interest group, and also aims to provide specialist training programmes and promote the overall growth and sustainability of the laboratory automation industry. If you would like more information please visit www.elrig.org
