About

High-throughput biology shouldn’t be limited by volume or cost

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.

Miniaturize
Shrink reaction volumes to reduce expensive reagent usage.
Accelerate
Run larger condition spaces with built-in design tools.
Democratize
Make high-throughput experiment assembly accessible to more labs.

We focus on reliable, measurable performance — calibration, verification, and repeatability — so researchers can trust the output.

Mission

Bring the power to miniaturize and accelerate biological experimentation into the hands of all researchers.

Why now

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.

Born from a real research bottleneck

LabCraft started with a practical need: make high-throughput reaction assembly possible in everyday research settings — without requiring a massive budget or custom infrastructure.

The problem

Membrane proteins and an enormous parameter space

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 constraint

The “go-to” option wasn’t accessible

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.

The response

A different path: droplet printing

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.

Today

A small, agile team building for real labs

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.

Current status

Early Access & Beta Partner Program

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.

  • Ideal for multivariate screens, assay miniaturization, and automated plate assembly
  • Calibration + verification built into every run
  • Designed for scientists: DOE/randomization without spreadsheets

What beta partners get

  • Workflow mapping and onboarding support
  • Direct influence on features and priorities
  • Priority support and rapid iteration cycles
