About Infera
Summary
Infera builds a natural-language operating system for wet labs, letting researchers describe an experiment in plain English and receive a validated, instrument-ready protocol. The system handles protocol logic, vendor-specific scripts, reagent inventory, and institutional knowledge in a single pipeline, replacing the manual work of translating scientific intent into machine-executable runs across existing lab equipment.
Go-to-market
Infera targets life-science researchers and lab operators who run instrumented experiments; the product connects directly to instruments already in the lab, suggesting adoption starts with individual labs or research teams integrating their existing equipment stack.

Control lab instruments with natural language.
Describe an experiment in plain English, and Infera turns it into a validated, instrument-ready run across the equipment your lab already uses. Infera handles the protocol logic, vendor-specific scripts, data, inventory, and institutional knowledge in one system. An AI-native compiler for the lab: one system from intent to execution.
