AUTOMATION WITH A KICK

Flexible, intuitive lab automation built for real scientists and complex workflows, keeping your science moving; day and night.

Driving Laboratory Excellence

Lab Donkey seamlessly connects your robots, instruments, and workflows into one intelligent system that never stops working.

Resilient by Design

Automatic detection, retries, and rerouting ensure work continues to flow, even when an instrument stalls.

Hardware-Agnostic

Connect any robot, washer, dispenser, or incubator. If it has an API, Lab Donkey can automate it. Our driver library is always growing.

Go Live in Weeks

Built for rapid deployment. Launch your first workcell in weeks, validate performance, and expand effortlessly across the lab.

HOW IT WORKS

Simple Integration, Powerful Results

1

Plug in Your Lab

Connect any instrument, device, or sensor. Configure once and run with confidence.

2

Define Workflows

Build from scratch using the visual builder or code, and configure each step for your setup.

3

Run Continuously

Our deterministic scheduler coordinates timing and handoffs, watches for errors, and recovers automatically, logging every action for full traceability.

Built for Modern Labs

Everything you need to transform your lab into an autonomous operation.

Error Recovery & Rerouting

Keep experiments running with built-in retries and safe fallbacks.

Universal Integration

REST, TCP/IP, or serial, flexible drivers let you connect and control any device in your lab.

Real-time Monitoring

Track plates, batches, and states live. Searchable, audit-friendly logs for every action.

Deterministic Scheduling

Consistent timing, synchronized batches, priorities, and time windows. Reproducible science without surprises.

On-Prem/Cloud

Run locally with full functionality when offline. Once reconnected, all activity and data sync automatically to the cloud.
