About
About Telescope Innovations
Telescope Innovations develops automated chemistry systems and process-development tools for pharmaceutical, chemical and critical-minerals research. Its self-driving laboratories combine robotic experiment execution, analytical measurements and AI-guided selection of subsequent experiments. The Vancouver-based company also supplies DirectInject-LC automated sampling technology and carries out chemical process-development work for customers.
The company integrates collaborative robots with laboratory instruments so that samples can be prepared, moved and analysed within a coordinated workflow. Its Universal Robots systems-integrator certification supports this integration activity. A multi-year collaboration with Pfizer has progressed to installed research systems, including a second self-driving laboratory completed in January 2026. These installations are steps toward wider deployment; they do not establish that all customer laboratories operate autonomously or that every chemistry workflow has been automated.

Timeline
Events
- 2026-10-05 - Market Signal - Telescope Innovations reports preliminary FY2026 revenue of C$9.3 million
Revenue reflects laboratory-platform deliveries, contract R&D and DirectInject-LC technology sales. The company installed a second self-driving laboratory at Pfizer and delivered an autonomous crystallisation system for a European pharmaceutical operation. The fiscal year ended August 31, 2026; final audited statements are expected by December 29.
