Infera Application

Lab protocol platform that parses a described or written protocol into a validated, machine-readable workflow, checks it, and exports instrument-ready scripts for liquid handlers such as Opentrons, Hamilton and Tecan or guides the same run by hand, with a human in the loop and an append-only audit trail; early, onboarding pilot labs, no prices published.
