Why Traditional Biotech R&D Needs Transformation

Traditional trial-and-error in cell media optimization, biocatalyst screening, and fermentation development is slow, costly, and resource-intensive.
Bottlenecked by data analysis and experiment planning, teams rely on historical bias instead of unbiased AI-driven exploration, slowing strain engineering and bioprocess optimization.
Data silos and reproducibility issues make it hard to leverage historical experiments, slowing progress and increasing costs.

Our Solution to Biotech R&D Optimization and Innovation

Break free from bottlenecks in cell media optimization, biocatalyst screening and fermentation process development. Atinary’s code-free agentic platform, SDLabs, augments biotech R&D teams to plan, optimize, and accelerate workflows without coding expertise.

Connect Every Part of Your Lab—From Data to Devices

Atinary’s SDLabs platform is purpose-built to unify your entire R&D workflow, breaking down data silos and
enabling a truly digital, automated, and collaborative laboratory.
LIMS Compatibility
  • Instantly connect SDLabs with your Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS). All experiment data—conditions, results, metadata—is automatically captured and accessible in one secure, searchable hub. No more manual data transfers, lost files, or fragmented records.
  • Example: Chemists can retrieve or analyze any historical experiment in seconds, supporting audits, compliance, and faster innovation.
Robotics & Automation Hardware
  • Seamlessly link SDLabs to lab robots, liquid handlers, and reactors for a closed-loop, fully autonomous experimentation process.
Real-World Integrations
  • IBM’s RoboRXN/Chemspeed: AI algorithms in SDLabs send experiment designs directly to the robot; results are automatically fed back for instant re-optimization.
  • ETH Zurich Catalyst Optimization: Robotic platforms execute batches of 24 experiments; results sync with SDLabs for next-iteration planning—no manual intervention.
  • Oligonucleotide Synthesis: SDLabs supports integration with Chemspeed and Unchained Labs robots, streamlining complex workflows.
  • ViperLab Project: Robotic platforms, guided by SDLabs’ Falcon algorithm, optimize perovskite solar cell fabrication—demonstrating Atinary’s impact on advanced materials R&D.
