We are LabAthena.The team behind LabOperator and Xavo.
One company with one purpose: give scientists better support at the bench, from the first request to the signed result.
Two teams. One company.
LabAthena brings together the people behind LabOperator, building lab connectivity and workflow execution since 2015, and the people behind Xavo, who run sample logistics for high-throughput biotech and pharma R&D.
In 2025 the two joined forces. Today we work as one company for pharma, biotech, chemicals and central analytics labs across Europe and North America.
Enable science at the bench: connected, guided and traceable, so scientists can focus on the science.
What guides how we work.
Enable
We take the busywork out of lab work, so a scientist's time goes to science, not to transcription and paperwork.
Connect
We link instruments, systems and people through open standards, regardless of vendor. Your LIMS or ELN stays the system of record.
Evolve
We build with our customers, ship in small steps and keep improving: from today's bench towards the self-documenting lab.
LabAthena in 15 seconds.
Building on shared standards.
Labs run instruments and software from many vendors. We believe they should work together, so we build on open standards and help shape them.
We contribute to the Pistoia Alliance and the Allotrope Digital Analytical Methods work, alongside pharma companies, instrument makers and software vendors.
Towards the hands-free, self-documenting lab.
Each step between request and result should get lighter and smarter. That is the direction we are building in.
Hands-free execution
Smart glasses and voice replace the screen at the bench.
AI-built workflows
From a written SOP to an executable, validation-ready workflow.
Self-managing fleet
Every instrument connected, monitored and updated remotely.
Queryable lab data
Standardised, audited data you can ask in plain language.
