What is it like going from the bench to an autonomous lab? Rashard interviewed two interns at @OctantBio from @UCBerkeley — Junyu and Thrisha — about their experience using Hypatia, Octant’s autonomous lab. The summary: - Less stress - More time to design experiments - More time to think about process

Dom shares with us his favorite story about @OctantBio RAC System! If you are impressed by this come book a tour with us and see it live! ➡️ calendly.com/ginkgo-bio/aut… #autonomouslabs #RAC #ai #biotechnology #trending

We've been giving lots of tours of our autonomous lab recently, but earlier this month we were honored to give a special one. We were delighted to welcome the @CityOfBoston Economic Opportunity and Inclusion Cabinet on March 5th as part of their Innovation Business Tour. Interim Chief of Economic Opportunity and Inclusion Donald Wright, Director of Business Strategy Alia Forrest, and Business Strategy Manager Shanice Wallace met with Barry Canton, Co-founder and CTO, who gave a special tour of Nebula while it was running dozens of live experiments at once. Thank you to the entire Economic Opportunity and Inclusion team for a great visit! #InnovationBoston #BostonGrowth #boston #bostonseaport

New in @sciam today: Researchers at Ginkgo and @OpenAI showed that an AI model working with an autonomous lab can design and iterate real biology experiments at unprecedented speed. 🌉 From San Francisco, where GPT-5 designed the experiments ➡️ to our autonomous lab in Boston that ran 36,000 #CFPS tests over 6 months. @reshmapshetty and OpenAI’s @joyjiao12 share what this means for the future of biological research: scientificamerican.com/article/openai… Learn more about our Cloud Lab here: cloud.ginkgo.bio

We will be launching new Ginkgo Certified protocols every week on @Ginkgo Cloud Lab! Added a new one today with HiBiT quantification for $39! Details in 🧵 Can also price out your custom protocol using our AI tool here: #services" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">cloud.ginkgo.bio/protocols#serv…

In case you missed it: @AIMmediahouse covered our work with @OpenAI: Most research today is still done by hand at the lab bench. But @reshmapshetty thinks that “more science can and should be done using autonomous labs, using AI agents to help design and analyze experiments.” This is the gap Ginkgo is working to close. We’ve started with an @OpenAI collaboration targeting cell-free protein synthesis: 36,000 experiments, six months, and 40% cost improvement in Cell-free Protein Synthesis show that autonomous labs can take on real scientific problems at scale. aimmediahouse.com/ai-lifescience…

Had an amazing time collaborating with @ToborlifeAI at #SLAS2026 this year. If you want to see RACs live in action come book a tour with us! ➡️calendly.com/ginkgo-bio/aut…

Struggling with all of the raw data that comes off of automation devices? We've solved this with Catalyst Data, which captures all of your data and turns it into something scientifically useful. Want to see the autonomous lab for yourself? Book a tour: calendly.com/ginkgo-bio/tou… Try it for yourself via our new cloud lab: cloud.ginkgo.bio

Behind the scenes tour of how we manufacture our RAC automation carts at our site in Emeryville, CA! We put in a ton of effort (software + hardware) to make the many different 3rd party benchtop lab devices you need for biotech into “plug and play” units once they are integrated into a RAC. That makes the device reliable when you run it 24/7 on your autonomous lab. Unappreciated but difficult problem in lab automation! See how we do it! Happy to answer Qs in comments.

In Vivo (@Citeline) features our autonomous lab, which we launched this week as a cloud lab for researchers to put our autonomous fleet to the test. “What makes Ginkgo different is that we’re trying to build the Waymo, not another subway,” @jrkelly said in an interview. “We call it an autonomous lab: like an autonomous car, it has the same flexibility as a manual lab, but the work is done by robots controlled by software instead of humans at the bench.” Check out part 1 of the series 👇 insights.citeline.com/in-vivo/innova… Check out the cloud lab here: cloud.ginkgo.bio

I get asked a lot how Autonomous Labs are different than traditional lab automation, here’s how 👇 Happy to take Qs in comments too

Stop wrestling with complex software to build your workflows. Catalyst puts everything you need in one place and makes writing protocols effortless. Book a tour and see how smooth it really is.➡️calendly.com/ginkgo-bio/aut… #autonomouslabs #FutureEconomy #ai #RACs #TrendingNow

Our autonomous lab is powered by a modern, web-based software called Catalyst which was built to be as easy to use as possible. You can launch protocols, write protocols and then actually run many at once on the same system. Come to see it for yourself: calendly.com/ginkgo-bio/aut…

Check out a RAC and demo Catalyst Software at Lab of the Future! We're also hosting tours of our autonomous lab at Ginkgo HQ just down the street through Wednesday. Book your slot now! 👉 calendly.com/ginkgo-bio/aut…

Today, we’re launching Ginkgo’s Cloud Lab to help scientists move from the lab bench to browser. We’re giving you remote access to Nebula: our autonomous lab infrastructure built on Reconfigurable Automation Carts (RACs). Use our fleet of 70+ instruments to run protocols spanning critical biological unit operations, including: 🟢 Sample preparation 🟢 Liquid handling 🟢 Analytical readouts 🟢 Storage and incubation We’re launching with a focus on validated Cell Free Protein Expression (CFPS) protocols, but this is just the first step in our mission to make the autonomous lab a universal utility. While we scale our initial offerings, we want to hear from you: Check Compatibility: Use our EstiMate tool to see if your current protocols can run on our existing fleet of 70+ instruments. Influence our Roadmap: If your specific workflow isn't live yet, you can request a new protocol or a new RAC for our next expansion. Build the Future: We’re inviting the community to help us decide which capabilities to prioritize as we decommission the traditional bench and move toward a fully programmable cloud. See if your protocol is compatible or request your next workflow here: cloud.ginkgo.bio Read the announcement here: prnewswire.com/news-releases/…

Excited to launch the @Ginkgo Cloud Lab service today! Recently, GPT-5 ordered experiments from Ginkgo's autonomous lab in our work with @OpenAI below -- now we're making our lab available to users (or their AI models) in the cloud to order lab experiments and get back data online. Play around with it now! You can ask our agent about your protocol and it will do its best to evaluate if we can run it and what it would cost. cloud.ginkgo.bio/protocols To start we've launched 3 Ginkgo Certified Protocols, two around cell free protein expression and one to make bacterial pixel art 😀 We will be adding new protocols weekly -- at first ones we certify, but eventually users will order whatever experiment they want as long as we have the needed equipment on our autonomous lab! We hope that Cloud Labs will someday allow anyone to be a scientist with their own lab just like personal computers and cloud data centers democratized programming and the web. More in thread 🧵and happy to answers Qs if you post!

Imagine a world where your system has very minimal downtime! Well... you don't have to imagine. Come book a tour with us to see it live in action 👉calendly.com/ginkgo-bio/aut… #RACs #autonomouslabs #ai #futuretech #automationsolutions
