AI lab assistant · For your phone

An assistant for the moments when you're holding a phone, not at a desk.

Aspis Bio is an Android and iPhone app for bench scientists. Ask lab questions, check the math, take useful notes — and run RNA-seq when you need to. Built in Europe, private by default.

Lane 4 is empty. Was that your negative control?
If yes — you're good. If a sample, the prep may have failed. Want to flag it?
Why I asked: 3 lanes show clean amplicon, lane 4 is blank — typical of a forgotten or contaminated control well.
"Make 200 µL of 50 mM Tris from 1 M stock"
BENCH MATH
C₁V₁ = C₂V₂
1.0 M × V₁ = 0.05 M × 200 µL
V₁ = 10 µL
Add 10 µL stock + 190 µL dH₂O.

What it does

Three things, done well — plus RNA-seq when you need it.

Most research software assumes you are at a desk. Aspis Bio is for the moments when you are holding a phone — checking a number, jotting a note, or asking what a screen means before the next step.

☕ Logged. Heads up — you skipped the negative control on yesterday's PCR. Add it tomorrow?

01 · Ask

Ask lab questions.

Quick answers about biology, chemistry, qPCR, RNA-seq, and bench workflows — in plain English.

02 · Calc

Check the math.

Dilutions, concentrations, molarity, plate setup, unit conversions — all from your phone.

03 · Note

Take useful notes.

Capture context, tidy up rough notes, and keep experiment details easy to find later.

04 · Run

RNA-seq from your phone.

Kick off RNA-seq runs without leaving the bench. Raw FASTQ uploads auto-delete after 30 days.

When it helps

When the desktop is not in reach.

CONTEXT

Ask in context.

Open chat from where you are working and get help with the task in front of you.

BENCH

Use bench tools.

Calculators and qPCR helpers — no need for a spreadsheet or a desktop app.

NOTES

Keep a Lab Book.

Notes, attachments, and clean summaries you can find later, even on the move.

EXPORT

Move work when ready.

Send selected notes or results to Dropbox or Labguru when the work is ready to share.

Roadmap

What's shipping, what's coming next.

We ship in tight loops. Here is where we are now, and where we are heading.

● Now · Almost done

RNA-seq with AI help

End-to-end RNA-seq runs from your phone, with AI guidance on QC, alignment and interpretation. Final stretch.

○ Coming soon

Biovision

A vision system merging three models — a large Qwen plus BiomedCLIP and GelGenie — for gel reading, plate counting and bench imaging.

○ On the way

ATAC-seq · DNA · Proteins

More omics modalities and protein workflows — variant calling, ATAC-seq pipelines, protein analysis tools.

○ Long view

So much more

New connectors, new species, new bench workflows. Aspis grows with the experiments you actually run.

At launch: model organism support starts with Drosophila, C. elegans and zebrafish. More species will follow as we ship.
Designed for the bench

Built for phones. Built for the bench.

Aspis Bio is an Android and iPhone app — not a desktop tool dressed for mobile. Tap, talk, take a quick note. The little research tasks that interrupt lab work, handled on your phone.

Android + iPhone For phones Built for the bench Private by default
Connectors

Plays nicely with the tools you already use.

Aspis Bio is a mobile assistant — not a replacement for the systems your lab already runs on. Send what you need to Dropbox or Labguru when it makes sense.

Dropbox Back up your Lab Book or send selected exports to your Aspis Bio Dropbox folder.
Labguru Create or attach experiment notes from your Lab Book content, with one tap.
