When to use it
Submit and manage protocols on Ginkgo Bioworks Cloud Lab (cloud.ginkgo.bio), a web-based interface for autonomous lab execution on Reconfigurable Automation Carts (RACs). Use when the user wants to run protein expression and purification (cell-free, E. coli, or Pichia), HiBiT or A280 or LabChip quantification, IVT mRNA/circRNA synthesis, thermal shift / developability assays, Echo-MS enzyme or analyte methods, SPR target onboarding, fluorescent pixel art, or otherwise interact with Ginkgo Cloud Lab services. Covers protocol selection, input preparation, pricing, and ordering workflows.Example requests
Ask your agent in plain language, for example:- “I have 48 de novo minibinder sequences and want to know which ones express in E. coli before I invest in SPR. What’s the cheapest way to screen them on Ginkgo’s cloud lab, and what would it cost?”
- “Need Tm values for my 12 nanobody variants (sequences in nb_variants.fasta). Can Ginkgo’s cloud lab do thermal shift, and how do I submit?”
- “I’m trying to make a circular RNA for a stability study and want qPCR confirmation of the product, outsourced to a robotic cloud lab if possible. The template DNA is ready. What are my options and how do I get a quote?”
