Service Overview

From AI Prediction to Wet-Lab Confirmation

High-throughput screening is the critical wet-lab step that converts AI-generated variant predictions into experimentally confirmed hits. Our automated platforms enable rapid, systematic evaluation of engineered libraries to validate computational designs.

AI-Guided Library Screening

Systematically validate AI-designed enzyme and protein variants using automated assay platforms. Experimental data directly informs computational predictions and guides next-round design cycles.

Functional Characterization

Generate kinetic measurements, stability profiles, and selectivity data for each screened variant. Rich experimental datasets close the loop between AI model outputs and real-world enzyme performance.

Orthogonal Validation

Primary hits from initial screens are confirmed by independent orthogonal assays and counter-screens. Multi-round validation ensures only genuine leads advance to downstream characterization and process development.
