Infera

Application

InferaApplication

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.

AI agent

BioBaseAI agent

Desktop research app in which a Data Agent writes and runs analysis code over the files in a project folder, for example aligning sequencing reads to a reference genome and calling variants, then opens the results in built-in genome, molecular-structure and sequence viewers; free to download with weekly-credit plans.
