LabCraft is building droplet printing tools that let researchers miniaturize assays, expand condition coverage, and run repeatable experiments — without the overhead and price tag of traditional high-end systems.
We focus on reliable, measurable performance — calibration, verification, and repeatability — so researchers can trust the output.
Bring the power to miniaturize and accelerate biological experimentation into the hands of all researchers.
Biology is increasingly multivariate. When you can reliably dispense at the nanoliter scale, you can explore more conditions with less sample — and make the “hard problems” tractable.
LabCraft started with a practical need: make high-throughput reaction assembly possible in everyday research settings — without requiring a massive budget or custom infrastructure.
During a PhD project focused on membrane protein synthesis, switching to cell-free systems unlocked many more tunable variables than conventional cell-based expression — but it also created a combinatorial condition space that was impractical to screen manually.
The standard approach for precise low-volume dispensing is typically a premium instrument. For many academic and early-stage teams, that cost — and the operational overhead — places true high-throughput experimentation out of reach.
We developed a droplet printing workflow that enabled thousands of reactions per day with sharply reduced reaction volumes and high replicate consistency. The result was a practical route to explore large condition spaces quickly — and generate the kind of data needed to optimize complex biological systems.
LabCraft is intentionally lean so we can iterate quickly with researchers: improving reliability, expanding supported workflows, and building software that makes sophisticated experiment design approachable.
We’re working with a limited number of partner labs to validate workflows, refine reliability, and shape the product roadmap. If you run experiments where condition coverage and reagent cost matter, we’d love to talk.
