TooMuchTimeisSpentPipettingbyHand

No researcher was drawn to biology by its monotonous, slow, and error-prone pipetting. Yet, much of their time is spent at the bench. Too often exciting ideas turn into long experimental cycles and data limited by human error.

ButAutomationisOutofReach

Most experiments can be automated, they just often aren’t worth automating. Robots are programmed through a tedious and brittle process, which significantly limits what these tools can be used for. These tools only really work when nothing changes between runs and no two experiments are quite the same.

ThinkMore&ExperimentintheCloud

The process of research tomorrow looks like computing today. Solving lab automation’s problems has two implications. First, it allows for researchers to focus on the knowledge work they care about. Second, flexible automation unlocks something new: the cloud lab. Researchers design and execute experiments on shared, automated infrastructure. The result is research that is more accessible, efficient, and reproducible.

Purify fragmented chromatin off beads

Amplify 16S rRNA for community profiling

Detect interactions by co-immunoprecipitation

Scarlessly swap a promoter by recombinase

Encapsulate mRNA into lipid nanoparticles

ResearchOS allows you to specify experimental procedures with ease. Start by plugging in existing research papers, kit manuals, back of the napkin ideas, anything. Simply upload a file or describe the experiment and ResearchOS will translate into a legible visual format. ResearchOS can understand the context of your experiments and you can understand its output. You don’t have to change the way you already communicate.

Expand a procedure across a series of experimental variables with the click of a button. Initial reagents (sample number, dyes, different treatments), instrument parameters, volumes, and concentrations can be parameterized. Anything in your procedure can be parameterized. Upload a .csv with your existing plates or query ResearchOS with natural language to import your variables. The magic of ResearchOS is that these two steps are all you need: after describing your procedure and your variables we automatically compile to an automation script that is executable on a robot.

Although ResearchOS abstracts the need for you to be involved in the nitty-gritty robotic optimizations, it allows you access to view and edit every decision that it makes. Even if you are unfamiliar with automation concepts like liquid classes, ResearchOS makes everything accessible to you. ResearchOS’s decisions are reliable, interpretable, and editable.

Before sending your protocol off, see all decisions brought together in concert to understand and verify that your protocol is correct. No need to read code or physically run the robot, we can simulate your protocol to help you understand what is going on in a visual, and easy-to-process way. Watch your chemistry play out how both you and the instrument understand it, side by side.
