Whelix

Whelix develops AI-powered robotics to automate cell culture and help biology run continuously. Its platforms combine intelligent software, laboratory robotics, imaging, and precise liquid handling to carry out workflows with less routine manual work. Willow, Whelix’s AI agent, helps scientists plan protocols using natural language, simulate workflows in a digital twin, monitor operations with computer vision, and quantify cell confluency and morphology. Scientists can choose full autonomy, review and approve decisions, or manage steps manually.

Associan is a floor-standing workcell designed for autonomous, production-scale cell culture. It integrates an incubator and other laboratory equipment to support around-the-clock operation, handling more than one billion cells per run or as many as 45 distinct cell lines. Teknician is a desktop platform for AI-guided liquid handling, imaging, and protocol execution in human-guided workflows. Both support flasks and plates, with options for cross-system integration.

Whelix serves scientists and laboratory automation teams seeking greater throughput, consistency, and reproducibility. The company offers product demonstrations and support for evaluating how its platforms may fit laboratory workflows.
