About Benchling
Benchling is a cloud-based life sciences R&D platform that combines a collaborative electronic lab notebook (ELN), molecular biology tools for designing and tracking DNA and protein sequences, and a registry for managing samples, reagents, and inventory. It connects notebook, registry, sequence design, and workflow/LIMS modules so data flows between them without manual re-entry, and layers in AI tools that design experiments, guide lab execution, capture structured results, and recommend next steps. It targets biotech and pharma R&D teams across discovery, pre-clinical, and process development, with permissioning, audit trails, and validation support for GxP and FDA-regulated environments.
