Benefits
Improve traceability of genes, plasmids, parts, and strains
Create and test novel strains on a connected platform that automatically links related genes, plasmids, and parts for end-to-end traceability.
Orchestrate sample and data handoffs across teams
Manage the flow of work requests, sample submissions, and results reporting from a single, central platform to improve collaboration across teams.
Access insights across assays, experiments, and runs
Drive consistent results capture across teams to uncover deeper insights about strain performance and characteristics.
Capabilities
Molecular biology and cloning
Create a library of plasmid backbones, expression cassettes, and parts that can be reused in complex assemblies. Perform high-throughput sequence design and analysis with bulk tools and automation APIs.
Strain engineering
Perform strain transformation and selection experiments, capture results in both structured and unstructured manners, and share results with full experimental context. Automatically link parent-child relationships between plasmids, strains, and strain banks.
Upstream processing
Iterate on upstream process runs faster with templates and results tables. Capture both in-process and time point data in a structured manner with results tables and instrument integrations. Optimize process parameters with native data visualization.
Downstream processing
Evaluate separation, concentration, and purification methods for biomass samples with easy access to complete upstream processing history. Select optimal downstream process steps and protocols by comparing output and results across methods and runs.
Analytical
Receive samples and requests for analytical testing with complete information and historical context. Centralize assay results from multiple sources and automatically report back results with dashboards.
