Effective July 1, 2010, two of the world's leading scientific membership organizations — the Society for Biomolecular Sciences (SBS) and the Association for Laboratory Automation (ALA) — are now one. SBS and ALA are united as Sections of the newly formed Society for Laboratory Automation and Screening (SLAS) — an inclusive worldwide organization dedicated to advancing scientific research and discovery through laboratory automation and screening technology.

Each Section — the Biomolecular Sciences Section (SBS) and the Laboratory Automation Section (ALA) — will continue to pursue their current mission while collectively addressing the SLAS mission: to provide forums for education and information exchange to encourage the study of, and improve the science and practice of, laboratory automation and screening.
