IDBS and the science of getting four weeks back
BioIVT says IDBS helped it deliver research data at least four weeks faster. The company’s bigger bet: better lab records can speed the journey from experiment to manufacturing - and give AI something trustworthy to work with.
STARLIMS Built the Operating System for Labs - Now It Has to Make 40 Years of Complexity Feel Simple
The laboratory software veteran survived an IPO, a $123 million sale, a 12-year corporate hibernation and a private-equity rebirth. Its next experiment is harder: turning a sprawling enterprise stack into one usable thread from scientific idea to released product.
Benchling
Benchling is a cloud platform built for biotech R&D - a single, biology-first system of record where scientists design experiments, track samples, manage molecular data, and collaborate. Founded in 2012 out of MIT, it has grown into the operating system for modern life science, used by hundreds of thousands of scientists at companies ranging from startups to the largest biopharma firms, and is now embedding AI agents and predictive models directly into the lab workflow.
