Tecan, a global provider of laboratory automation and solutions, today announced that it has leveraged the NVIDIA BioNeMo Agent Toolkit to integrate Agentic AI capabilities into its laboratory analysis platform Introspect.
The NVIDIA BioNeMo Agent Toolkit gives AI agents direct access to scientific AI capabilities within the Introspect platform to help optimize lab operations. Agentic AI allows laboratories to move beyond traditional monitoring and reactive troubleshooting to proactive actions that prevent problems before they impact performance, quality, or scientific output. Get early access to the enhanced Introspect platform, with applications focused on pharmaceutical, biotech, and clinical laboratory environments.
A collaborative milestone announced in March 2026, this Agentic AI development demonstrates progress in Tecan and NVIDIA’s shared vision of enabling data-driven laboratories with AI-powered platforms designed to accelerate scientific discovery and improve laboratory productivity.
Agentic AI introduces a new paradigm for laboratory operations. Rather than identifying problems after they occur, intelligent agents continuously analyze inspection data, workflows, and system performance to uncover hidden patterns that limit throughput, constrain scalability, or reduce operational efficiency. By converting data into recommended actions, laboratories can accelerate decision-making, optimize resource utilization, and proactively improve overall productivity.
Agent-based AI has the potential to change the way labs operate. The combination of Tecan’s laboratory expertise and NVIDIA’s BioNeMo agent toolkit enables a new generation of intelligent laboratory solutions that proactively support scientists, improve productivity, and help accelerate scientific outcomes. ”

Our work with NVIDIA also focuses on the agent guardrails needed to responsibly and confidently deploy AI in experimental environments. These safeguards support transparency, trust, and controlled automation and help establish Agentic AI as a trusted technology that supports key research and operational workflows.
Tecan and NVIDIA will continue to further develop the AI-enabled platforms data-driven labs need to achieve faster discovery and higher lab productivity, including the use of physical AI to enable next-generation lab metrology.
