How we like to work
Here is a making-of video of our recent 2-week construction sprint at Formo - this intensive final phase is where everything we've planned and prepared comes together, involving the whole team of our client hands-on.
Smart Lab Levels
We take you on a journey to level up your lab.
Click and discover what awaits you on each level!
Digital Lab
The foundation is a digitally enabled lab, where the scientists work with up-to-date hardware and experiment data is generated and stored digitally. At this stage, we discuss and introduce relevant tools such as ELNs, Device Management, Barcode Inventory etc.
Connected Lab
The next level is to connect the lab devices and establish sensor systems that control and track what’s going on in the lab. You can then run small automations, improve reproducibility and understand environmental factors influencing your results.
Automated Lab
With the digital backbone and the Connected Lab in place, we can automate even complex repetitive workflows in your experiments. We help you implement anything from small productiviy hacks to co-bots to full process automation.
AI-Ready Lab
With your lab being able to run full experiments automatically while tracking meaningful data every step of the way, machine learning and AI controlled experiments become reality.
Labs we have built
Inspired by the best technology and executed with energy efficiency, we build the labs of tomorrow.
Formo
We teamed up with Formo to build a new R&D Lab & ambitious Bioreactor pilot plant in Frankfurt - fully planned and executed in less than 6 months.
Nosh.Bio
Nosh.Bio support healthy, non-GMO protein to get the alt-protein industry off the ground.
We supported Nosh to scale into a new lab space in Berlin Adlershof, asap.
Netflix Labs
At the set of the Netflix Series Biohackers, we created a big vision for the Smart Lab by designing and equipping the lab with the latest tech available.
