Design + characterization, one loop
The cloud lab for genetic circuits.
Design your circuit on a free, honest engine, submit it, and get real characterization data plus de-risking back. The engine gets smarter with every result, so you stop iterating blind.
How it works
A design–build–test loop that finally closes.
Free to design. Pay to characterize. Sharper every round.
You state the objective
Describe the circuit in plain language or draw it. Coral Copilot compiles it, simulates the dynamics, and flags what will fail before you spend a dollar in the lab.
We build it and run it
Submit to the Cloud Lab. We synthesize and characterize it cell-free, normalized to reference circuits on every run so your results compare across batches.
You get an evidence package
Data plus de-risking suggestions come back: coverage, findings, a decision log. Every result calibrates the engine, so its next prediction is sharper.
Two labs, one platform
Everything in silico. Everything in vitro.
Design where it's free and fast. Characterize where it counts.
in silico
Studio
The honest, dynamics-aware engine. Compile from intent, simulate the feedback and timing Cello can't, and order with a fail-closed safety gate. Coral Copilot turns intent into a circuit and asks before it assumes.
- Intent → circuit, in plain language
- Dynamics simulation, not just steady-state logic
- Evidence-tiered predictions, never a black box
- Ordering with biosecurity screening built in
in vitro & in vivo
Cloud Lab
The biofoundry. Submit a design, we build and characterize it, and return a clean evidence package. Reference-normalized for cross-batch comparability. Cell-free now, cell-based next.
- Submit via the UI or the API
- Reference-normalized on every run
- An evidence package back, not just a number
- Cell-free today, climbing the chassis ladder
Why it compounds
The only loop that keeps its data.
Because design and characterization live in one place, every characterized circuit comes home as a clean, labeled result. Reference-normalization makes runs comparable, and the engine's own predictions are the frame the data sharpens. The dataset can't be bought, only accumulated, so the honest engine gets more accurate with every team that builds on reef.
Honest by construction
Never a black box.
Evidence tiers, always shown
Every prediction is tagged for what backs it. We never fake confidence we don't have.
Your designs stay yours
You keep your circuits, your data, and your IP. Neutral infrastructure. We never compete with the thing you're building.
Responsible by default
A fail-closed biosecurity gate screens every order before anything is synthesized. Table stakes, done properly.
Onboarding early partners
Bring us your circuit.
Tell us what you're building and we'll set up a characterization pilot. Early partners shape the platform and get the first calibrated predictions.
