VERA by EQLabs

AI Partner for Wet Labs

Turns physical lab execution into structured scientific memory

VERA helps isolate the biological signal from scattered systems, incomplete records, and knowledge trapped in memory and handoffs.

How it works

VERA captures each run as it happens, with the protocol context around it

VERA builds a trusted context that humans and AI agents can reason over.

Understand why, not just what

See what was actually performed — the readings, deviations and conditions behind every result. Trace a surprise back to its cause, and design the next run from evidence.

Preserve institutional knowledge

Deviations, observations and the reasoning behind them stay connected to the data. When a scientist moves on, their work stays.

Records you can defend

Contemporaneous, complete and traceable by default, supporting ALCOA+ and FAIR practices.

Get capture right and build your institutional data moat.

Use cases

Discovery

Capture new science as it happens

The problem

Cutting-edge experiments change from run to run as new methods take shape. Notebooks rarely keep up, so what worked, and why, is hard to reproduce or build on.

With VERA

VERA records work at the bench as it happens, including experiments no one has run before, not just routine protocols. Every iteration keeps its conditions, changes and reasoning, so the lab can reproduce and build on its own discoveries.

Example scenario
“After a dozen attempts at a new assay, the team asks VERA which conditions changed between the failed runs and the one that worked.”
Research & Development

Build an IND-ready record as you go

The problem

When a program moves toward the clinic, the experiments behind it must be reproducible and fully documented. Rebuilding that record after the fact is slow, and gaps surface at the worst time.

With VERA

Each run is captured with its conditions, materials and deviations, linked to the study it supports. The documentation for IND-enabling work is built as the work is done.

Example scenario
“When preparing IND-enabling packages, the team pulls a complete, traceable history of every key experiment instead of reconstructing it from notebooks.”
Chemistry, Manufacturing & Controls

Catch deviations in real time, with AI-ready data

The problem

Deviations are often noticed late and written up from memory. Process data sits in formats that analytics tools cannot use.

With VERA

VERA captures deviations as they happen and flags them to the team. Process data is structured and AI-ready from day one, so multivariate data analysis (MVDA), process models and digital twins can use it.

Designed for GxP environments.

Example scenario
“An operator’s step falls outside the batch record. VERA flags it immediately, logs it with full context, and the data flows straight into the process model.”
Training & Onboarding

Get new scientists independent faster

The problem

Even well-documented protocols miss the small details that make a method work. Whether a seasoned postdoc or a new intern, every scientist faces a steep learning curve in a new lab, and getting fully up to speed can take 6 to 12 months.

With VERA

Every run is recorded with its steps, adjustments and reasons, so new scientists learn from how the work was actually done. Methods move between people and sites without losing detail.

Example scenario
“A rotation student reviews VERA’s record of the lab’s last ten purifications before their first run, and asks why the elution step was changed in March.”
Modalities

Cell and Gene Therapy

Cell culture is recorded as it happens, so every batch keeps a complete, traceable history.

Biologics and Complex Modalities

Expression, purification and characterization runs stay tied to the exact conditions that produced them, so variability can be traced to its source.

Translational Research

Samples, assays and observations from preclinical models stay linked to the study design, so findings carry their full context toward the clinic.

Analytical & Process Development

Method runs, instrument readings and deviations are captured as they happen, giving a complete record for tech transfer and scale-up.

What users tell us

Traceability

“I was able to rule out which bottle caused the contamination and saved weeks of work.”

Easy onboarding

“First-run setup ~30 min, then less than 5 min each.”

AI done right

“These days there is so much to hate on AI, but this is amazing!”
