The platform for scientific progress
Benchling is the platform that brings together scientific data, automation, and AI, so R&D teams move faster and discover more.
Fermentation-first food, cell-cultured meat, precision fermentation ingredients — the future of food depends on mastering biology. Benchling connects your scientific data and teams to help you learn faster and scale smarter.

We are building the most comprehensive data set in food science to train our ML algorithms, and Benchling enables us to scale the volume and diversity of experiments required to do that.

Built for food science R&D
Fermentation science
Design and track fermentation batches, media, and process conditions with precision. Easily compare parameters like feed strategies, inoculum quality, and environmental variables across batches. Connect results back to strain characteristics to rapidly identify top performers and accelerate process optimization.
Strain development
Build a detailed view of strain lineage and history across genetic modifications and process performance. Manage constructs, plasmids, and integration strategies in a central location. Link genotypes to phenotypes to uncover promising candidates earlier in development.
Cross-functional data analysis
Benchling standardizes data capture across assays, teams, and time, so insights aren’t buried in spreadsheets. Enable real-time analysis and visualizations to guide R&D decisions. Give data science teams access to structured, high-integrity experimental data that supports robust machine learning and modeling.
