Benchling

Benchling is an R&D platform that more than 1,300 biotechs run their science on, and it now builds Science Foundries: teams of AI agents that run complete R&D workflows, guided by scientists. Its software manages experiments, biomolecules, workflows, results, samples, and reagents while supporting sequencing analysis and domain-specific model execution.

Research Data and Experiment Management

• Manage experiments, complex biomolecules, workflows, results, samples, and reagents in shared R&D records. Benchling Bioresearch provides a shared workspace for designing and managing experiments, while Benchling Biologics provides a structured foundation for designing, registering, and characterizing proteins.
• Manage in vivo studies within the broader experiment-management workflow with Benchling In Vivo, a tool for managing in vivo experiments in the vivarium. Benchling Bioprocess brings process development recipe design, experiment planning, batch execution, and analysis into one place.

Bioinformatics and Computational Discovery

• Process sequencing data through complete bioinformatics workflows to identify and optimize promising candidates. PipeBio handles upstream NGS and Sanger data processing, candidate clustering, liability screening, and hit developability scoring.
• Run domain-specific drug-discovery models within Benchling, including AlphaFold 2, Chai-1, and Boltz-2. Benchling AI, built into the notebook, finds experiments, analyzes results, drafts reports, and runs structure prediction models, while Benchling Insights provides in-platform analytics without requiring export. Benchling Automation connects lab instruments to the scientific record, runs analysis automatically, and feeds results into the next decision.

Best Fit

• R&D teams that need shared records for experiments, biomolecules, workflows, results, samples, and reagents across research activities.
• Discovery groups that need sequencing-data analysis and access to domain-specific computational models within their research workflow.
