Synthace Ltd

We were founded by a team of biologists in 2011 as a bio-process service provider, optimising the existing bio-processes of our clients using a multi-factorial experimental approach. We used automated robotic equipment to run our high-dimensional, complex experiments. But we quickly learned that it was difficult to achieve the level of complexity and throughput we needed with the equipment’s software.

So we decided to build our own software - something that would not only communicate with our lab hardware but also help us plan and execute complex, multi-factorial experiments. Our software platform, Antha, produced a hundred-fold increase in our experimental throughput. As a result, we shifted our focus to empowering our clients to run these complex experiments themselves using Antha.
