About Ginkgo Bioworks
Ginkgo combines automated laboratory hardware with software for designing, scheduling and analysing biological experiments. Its Reconfigurable Automation Carts and benchtop systems connect instruments into programmable workflows, while the Catalyst software layer manages protocols, experimental data and autonomous iteration across those devices.
Customers can deploy Ginkgo automation in their own facilities or use its cloud laboratory, which provides access to more than 70 instrument types and specialist biological capabilities. The operating model supports organism engineering, screening, assay development and large experimental campaigns, with software agents and automated scheduling used to shorten the design-build-test-learn cycle.
