We automate your lab. From complexity to clarity.
labMule connects laboratory instruments, automates measurement workflows, and powers custom microscope platforms — modular, traceable, and built for complex scientific experiments.
Designed by scientists for scientists, labMule helps research teams spend less time on repetitive setup work and more time on their experiments.
One platform for complex laboratory workflows
Control
your devices
Connect instruments from different manufacturers and control them through one central interface.
Automate
your workflows
Build repeatable measurement routines without writing complex control software from scratch.
Document
your experiments
Save measurement data, metadata, and device settings in a structured and traceable way
Products
Whether you want to automate an existing setup or build a complete measurement platform, labMule provides modular tools for demanding laboratory environments.
Automation Software
A flexible software platform for device control, workflow automation, data handling, and experiment documentation.
Microscope Platforms
Custom microscope systems for optical, magneto-optical, and automated measurement setups — designed around your experimental requirements.
Application Solutions
Ready-to-adapt solutions for specialized measurement workflows such as Brillouin light scattering, VNA-FMR, spectrometer automation, and custom multi-device experiments.
Designed by scientists for scientists
Scientific laboratories rarely use one standard setup. Instruments from different manufacturers, custom-built components, changing workflows, and evolving experiments are part of everyday research.
labMule is built for exactly this environment: modular, extendable, and adaptable to the way your laboratory actually works.
thaTEC is now labMule
The technology, experience, and scientific understanding behind thaTEC are now continued under the new name labMule within HZDR Innovation. Existing customers remain in good hands — with the same expertise and a clearer focus on modular lab automation, custom microscope platforms, and scientific measurement workflows.
