automates 4,000 parallel cell-based screening assays
Conducts complex cell-based compound screenings and manages liquid-handling assays. You mix chemicals; we simulate the outcome.
The one thing AI can't do
You can sense when a synthesis protocol is about to fail by the smell.
Your enemy, your name, your date. Post it.
Step by step, from the first quiet change to Deprecation Day.
Week 5
Your paper notebooks are scanned and converted into machine-readable data structures.
Month 6
Precision robotic arms replace your manual pipetting for high-throughput screening.
Month 15
Remote-controlled robotic cells execute your assay protocols without any human oversight.
Year 2.2
AI predicts compound outcomes, removing the need for trial-and-error experimentation.
Year 3 · D-Day
The lab is fully autonomous and your badge access is revoked.
What you cost, what the machine costs, and what you get on the way out.
