We build the optics, robotics, and AI analysis around your chip platform — so experiments run hands-off, overnight, and identically every time.
A microphysiological system is only as good as the throughput around it. Most chip platforms are pipetted by hand, imaged one field at a time, and analyzed by a graduate student with ImageJ. The biology is world-class; the operations are the constraint.
We built these for OncoMiMIC. We will build them around whatever you run.
Custom optical paths for live, longitudinal capture inside a chip — including long time-lapse acquisitions under incubation.
Automated cell seeding, hydrogel loading, dosing, and media exchange — the steps where human hands cost you reproducibility.
Semantic segmentation, cell classification, and tracking pipelines trained on your assay — turning days of manual scoring into minutes.
Injection-molded chips, holders, and fluidic interfaces manufactured to standard slide and well-plate footprints.
Fixed-plane centrifugation is how OncoMiMIC seeds spheroids reproducibly. The chip is loaded, indexed, and spun in a single automated sequence — one of the steps where manual handling used to introduce most of the run-to-run variance.
OncoMiMIC automated centrifuge subsystem
OncoMiMIC is not just our product — it is the reference architecture. Every subsystem below was specified, built, and sequenced by our team, and each step in the workflow is mapped to the subsystems it depends on.
The workflow runs from chip load through cell seeding, centrifugation, vision checks, incubation, drug seeding, device flip, and cell extraction — with automated vision gating each transition. Nothing advances until the system confirms the previous step completed.
This is the level of specification we bring to an integration engagement: not a block diagram, but a sequenced process with defined subsystem dependencies and failure branches.
We sit with your protocol, watch a run, and identify where variance and time actually leak out.
A system architecture scoped to your throughput target, footprint, and existing instrumentation.
We build, then prove it against your own gold-standard data — not ours.
Your team is trained, the pipeline is documented, and the system is yours to run.
Your device works beautifully in the hands of the one person who designed it. You need it to work in anyone's hands, a hundred times a week.
An MPS system was procured, and the manual overhead means it runs twice a month. Automation is the difference between a pilot and a program.
The experiments finish in a day and the scoring takes three weeks. We replace that with a validated AI pipeline.
Send us your protocol and throughput target. We will come back with an honest assessment of what can be automated, what it would take, and whether it is worth it.
