Adam Biotech: open laboratory instruments

AdamOS
watches your cells,
so you don't have to.

AdamOS is an open-source miniature scope that lives with your cells, allowing you to keep track of variability that might impact your cell-based experiments.

The Problem

Nobody is watching.

FRI 18:00
You passage cells and begin a new expansion.
SAT 19:40
Cell confluence begins to deviate from the expected pattern. Adam isn't there to notify you.
SUN 11:00
You drive in to feed the cells and do some lab chores, only checking half the plates for contamination, and miss the one that's infected.
MON 09:00
The entire incubator is contaminated. Your organoid experiments are set back two weeks.

Two weeks lost, and Adam knew on Saturday.

What it does

It monitors, logs, and informs.

It monitors

CO2 and temperature usually hold steady. What moves them, and raises contamination risk, is how long the incubator door stays open. AdamOS tracks every open, every drift, and every confluence reading, continuously.

It logs

Machine vision reads the handwriting on your flasks and dishes, so every passage, line, and replicate is logged automatically. No spreadsheet required.

It informs

A notification when something's off, a recommendation to fix it, and a read on how it'll affect your downstream results. One less source of uncertainty in cell-based work.

Most lines are passaged at 90% confluence or higher. Baselines above are learned per line, not assumed.

Why it's small

One per flask.
Not one per lab.

Shared imagers live behind a booking calendar: a week per position, and you wait your turn. This one stays with your flask for the whole run.
