Transcend the LAB

Emerald Cloud Lab: Remote Controlled Life Sciences LabEmerald Cloud Lab® (ECL®) is the only remotely operated research facility that handles all aspects of daily lab work — method design, materials logistics, sample preparation, instrument operation, data acquisition and analysis, troubleshooting, waste disposal, and everything in between — without the user ever setting foot in the lab.

The Cloud Lab
accelerates R&D for
everyone

ECL® brings the most comprehensive life science research lab on the planet to your fingertips from anywhere in the world. ECL is agile and scalable to a variety of missions. Some use ECL to access top of the line equipment more easily during Discovery; others use ECL to automate and optimize routine and ongoing workflows such as CMC; and still others operate startups, conduct academic research, and teach graduate level classes exclusively on the cloud without a traditional lab.
Example Applications
  • Pharmaceutical Research and Development
  • Biotech Research and Development
  • Drug Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics (DMPK)
  • Translational Medicine
  • Consumer Products Research and Development
  • Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Controls (CMC)
  • Compendial Testing and Sample Preparation
  • Contract Research (CROs)
  • Diagnostics Research
  • Material Science
  • Formulation and Stability
  • AI Driven Laboratory Research

A massive laboratory at your fingertips

ECL® is equipped with over 200 different instrument models remotely controlled by a single unified software interface, ECL Command Center®, empowering you to orchestrate nearly any in vitro biology or chemistry experiment from cradle to grave at the click of a button. The facility operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year with on-demand access to instrumentation, samples, and data. ECL supports many research domains, with a particular focus on the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries, and its state of the art equipment includes instrumentation such as HPLC, FPLC, GC, Mass Spectrometers, NMR, PCR, qPCR, ddPCR, ELISA, SPR/BLI, Western Blots, Flow Cytometers/FACS, and hundreds more.

A single Software
interface to the entire
laboratory

ECL® Command Center provides a full platform for data analysis and visualization with a suite of over 4,500 functions, including advanced machine learning, image processing, and multi-dimensional analysis, and seamlessly integrates with our ECL Constellation® knowledge base. ECL Constellation automatically saves and annotates all experimental methods and data with complete metadata to ALCOA+ standards and verifies data integrity to ensure that everything is model quality. This eliminates the need for individual data visualization, analysis, ELN, LIMS, LES/MES, QMS and even ERP systems and streamlines them into a single coherent package.See How It Works

A comprehensive laboratory for all your needs

ECL® uniquely brings both automated and manual techniques to the cloud. Regardless of type, all techniques are scriptable and push-button reproducible on ECL. ECL’s groundbreaking lab execution system allows manual techniques considered automation unfriendly, such as stock solution generation, solid handling, rotovaping, speedvacing, and lyophilization, to be reliably automated and scripted in the same manner as automated liquid handlers and robotic workcells. This even includes all the foundational sample preparation operations (at all bench-relevant scales), from dosing solids to liquid handling to cell culture to reactors, used in almost every method.
