Solution 01
EpistraAccelerate
with state-of-the-art machine learning technology
Shorten R&D period and improve yield
In life science research and development, there are various challenges due to repeated manual experiments and trial and error. Epistra Accelerate, an automatic experiment optimization system using AI, can discover the desired optimal conditions with fewer trials than ever before.
*Experiment automation equipment: It is possible to support various equipment such as automatic pipetting machines (robots), parallel microbioreactors (Ambr, etc.), and process control at manufacturing plants.
Automatic condition assessment AI
With AI that utilizes deep learning technology, it is possible to reproduce cell state judgments that are at least as good as those of experts. In this example, about 100 microscopic images were used as training data, and we were able to distinguish between good and bad cells with an accuracy of over 80%.
Automated experiment planning AI
AI enhanced to solve life science problems, implementing our own algorithm based on Bayesian optimization technology. There are three problems (high dimensionality, high noise, and high cost) in applying standard Bayesian optimization technology to life science problems, and we solve them with our own algorithm.
CASE STUDY
The superiority of our technology is being proven by multiple cases. Please contact us for details.
