Built for food science R&D

  • Study Design and Review Icon

    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.

  • Operational Insights Icon (Vertical Bars)

    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.

  • Statistical Analysis Icon

    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.
