Hardware Reference Designs

Curated starting points for your journey toward automation, intelligence, and autonomy in cell biology. Whether you’re beginning with increasing walkaway time for key protocol steps or scaling to a facility fully controlled by an AI Scientist, our designs are built to accelerate your path to the lab of the future.

End-to-end Workcells

Capable of handling complete cell development including cell maintenance, media optimization, hitpicking, cell perturbations, and cell phenotyping. Control it fully remote or with an AI Scientist.
