Join Our Experiment Marketplace
ARPA-H reports that 80% or more of data from published papers cannot be recreated or confirmed. This reproducibility gap is one of the biggest bottlenecks in biotech and biomedical research today.
That's why we encourage dual experiments — having more than one lab run the exact same standardized protocol. Join our wet lab and cloud lab marketplace to run and confirm experiments alongside other labs, generate validated results, and unlock more business more often.
