# Trilobio

> Full lab automation you can afford. Powerful, reliable robotics for biologists built by biologists.

Trilobio develops whole lab automation solutions for genetic engineering, synthetic biology, and life science research. Founded in 2021 by Roya Amini-Naieni (CEO) and Maximilian Schommer, both Forbes 30 Under 30 honorees. Based in San Francisco, the company has raised over $11M from investors including Initialized Capital, Argon Ventures, and Lowercarbon Capital. The platform addresses the reproducibility crisis in biology research—an estimated 77% of biologists cannot reproduce their own or others' research.

## Platform

- [Trilobot](https://www.trilo.bio/platform/robot): The foundational lab robot with 16 deck slots (stackable up to 4 plates each), houses up to 8 interchangeable tools, auto-calibrates itself and plasticware, and connects with other Trilobots or third-party machines. Operational within 30 minutes of unboxing.
- [Tools](https://www.trilo.bio/platform/tools): Industry-first tool changing capability. Includes gripper for labware movement, pipette tools for liquid handling, and tube cap/de-capper. Tools are simply placed on the rack with no manual integration or calibration required.
- [Trilobio OS](https://www.trilo.bio/platform/software): No-code, GUI-driven protocol design software. Build protocols with biology-level steps (transfer, dilute, serial dilute, aliquot), automatic sample layout, built-in error checking, automated lab notebook, and LIMS. Optimize protocols for speed, cost, or accuracy.
- [Ecosystem](https://www.trilo.bio/platform/ecosystem): Open hardware and software architecture for developers and partners. Interface with third-party lab equipment. Protocols are reproducible on any Trilobio fleet configuration without recalibration.

## Use Cases
