About Transcriptic

GPAgent's own fund-neutral profile, written from public information. Updated Oct 4, 2026.

Summary

Transcriptic operates a robotic cloud laboratory platform for life science researchers, letting pharmaceutical and biotech scientists design, run, and analyze experiments remotely through a web interface. Its Common Lab Environment integrates instruments, lab processes, and IoT devices into a single software layer. The platform replaces manual bench work, giving researchers reproducible, on-demand access to fully automated experimentation without being physically present in a lab.

Go-to-market

Pharmaceutical companies and biotech firms are the primary customers, accessing the platform either through Transcriptic's own remote lab facilities or via an on-premise deployment of its software in their own labs.

The robotic cloud laboratory for the life sciences.

Founded in 2012, Transcriptic has developed the first robotic cloud lab platform for on-demand life science research. It’s powered by the Transcriptic Common Lab Environment (TCLE) a scalable, digital infrastructure that integrates laboratory processes, instruments and IoT technologies into a single user interface. Researchers can carry out scalable, reproducible and rapid experimentation from anywhere in the world. Top ten pharmaceutical companies, as well as emerging biotech companies, are using the platform to gain more reproducibility and flexibility in the design and control of their experiments. By leveraging cloud-based technologies, users can access the power of a fully automated laboratory – whether in their own labs through an on-premise deployment of TCLE or through Transcriptic’s Bioassays services – all through a simple web-based interface. Transcriptic is transforming drug discovery and synthetic biology research by helping scientists focus on accelerating discoveries instead of labor-intensive bench work.
