Bruker Corporation announced an expanded strategic collaboration with Atinary Technologies Inc., the pioneer of Self-Driving Labs® technologies and AI-driven R&D with applications in pharmaceuticals, chemicals, energy, and materials. Bruker also made a minority investment in Atinary. Financial details were not disclosed.
Atinary intends to integrate Chemspeed configurable laboratory automation platforms, Bruker analytical instruments and SciY scientific software into its agentic AI workflows. Atinary’s code-free SDLabs® platform applies AI agents and machine learning to design optimal experiments and deliver better and faster results with automated closed-loop Design-Make-Test-Analyze-Learn workflows. Running these integrated workflows generates high-quality, reproducible, and AI-ready datasets that are essential to train better models, increase success rates, and accelerate discovery.
Atinary and Chemspeed have established a joint demonstration laboratory at Chemspeed’s headquarters near Basel, Switzerland. Atinary’s Self-Driving Lab in Boston opened in early 2026 as a Scientific Data Factory to bring better molecules and products to market faster. The Atinary Lab includes Chemspeed robotics and Bruker benchtop NMR, as well as automation and measurement tools by other vendors, focusing on small-molecule synthesis and catalysis in pharmaceutical R&D and process development.
