Benchling

What is Benchling?

Benchling is a cloud-based platform for biotechnology research and development. It brings experimental records, molecular data, sample tracking, and scientific workflows into a shared environment for teams working across discovery, preclinical research, and process development.

A unified data model connects information across experiments and departments, making research data searchable and reusable. Organizations can configure data types, workflows, and permissions without code, with specialized solutions for biologics, in vivo studies, bioprocess development, and lab automation.

What can Benchling do?

Collaborative experimental records

Capture experimental details and assay data in a cloud notebook. Teams can edit entries, templates, and results together in real time.

Molecular design and analysis

Design, visualize, and analyze DNA, RNA, oligos, and amino acids using cloning, alignment, and BLAST tools in one environment.

Registration and inventory

Register molecules and samples, map relationships and lineage, and track physical inventory while connecting samples to experimental results.

Workflow coordination

Map scientific processes with drag-and-drop tools, set task dependencies, and track team progress.

Scientific analytics and AI

Build dashboards and share reports from Benchling data. AI tools support querying experiments, accessing advanced models, analyzing data, and writing reports within the notebook.

Instrument and software connectivity

Connect laboratory instruments and software through automation, out-of-the-box integrations, REST APIs, Events, and MCP to reduce manual data handoffs.

Use Cases

“Biologics research”

Design, register, and characterize proteins on a shared platform that connects computational work with wet lab experiments.

“In vivo studies”

Coordinate study data capture and collaboration so teams can review results and develop insights across in vivo research.

“Process development”

Support bioprocess teams working toward development milestones with connected experimental information and end-to-end process workflows.

“Research across therapeutic modalities”

Use templates, models, and practices for work involving gene therapy, cell therapy, RNA therapeutics, antibodies, and proteins.
