The Engivent Platform
A modular infrastructure stack for programmable biology
Most platforms are built around a single instrument. Engivent is built around the workflow — the full loop from design, through execution and readout, to data that feeds back into the next iteration.
Four layers. One closed loop.
L1: Microfluidic execution layer
Modular chips and hardware for massively parallel, multiplexed biological experimentation.
L2: Automation and orchestration
Programmable execution of complex workflows integrating liquid handling, robotics, and incubation
L3: Readout and metadata capture
Structured, traceable experimental outputs in standardised formats — ready for analysis and model training
L4: Closed-loop orchestration
AI-guided experiment selection, adaptive execution, and automated iteration based on real-time readout
Built from modular primitives
Microfluidic chips and consumables
Precision-engineered chips for specific biological assay types. Plug-and-play across workflows, optimised for throughput and reproducibility.
Fluidics and control modules
Hardware modules for fluid handling, mixing, incubation, and parallel execution. Configurable for specific workflow requirements.
Automation and robotics integration
Interfaces to laboratory robotics for end-to-end workflow execution with minimal human intervention.
Sensing and readout
Integrated optical, electrochemical, and biochemical readout systems for real-time data capture at scale.
Workflow software and control
A programmable software layer for defining, executing, and iterating biological workflows as code.
Data layer and metadata capture
Standardised output schemas that make experimental data immediately useful for analysis, model training, and documentation.
