Litmus gives biotech teams and academic labs on-demand access to scientists and lab infrastructure — so you can move faster without CRO delays.
Run experiments without hiring a full team. Move faster than traditional CRO timelines. Execute small, iterative studies without large contracts.
Seed-stage readyAccess external lab capacity on demand. Run pilot experiments quickly before grants or publications. Supplement your lab without adding overhead.
No co-authorship requiredTraditional CROs require weeks to start, large upfront contracts, and rigid workflows. Litmus is flexible, per-experiment, and designed for iteration — not bulk orders.
No $10–50K minimumsDescribe your experiment, hypothesis, or protocol in plain English. No programming required — just tell us what you want to test and why.
Litmus identifies the right scientist and lab for your experiment and prepares a full execution plan with standardized workflows and clear acceptance criteria.
Experiments are run in vetted labs with standardized workflows and full documentation. Payment is held in escrow until you approve the results.
Receive structured, documented results quickly — ready for analysis, your next iteration, grant applications, or publication. Typical turnaround: 1–3 weeks depending on experiment type.
From chemistry iteration to assay development, Litmus covers the key experimental workflows seed-stage biotechs and academic labs need most.
Access to lab infrastructure without building your own team
Designed for rapid iteration and reproducibility
Integrate with AI systems that generate hypotheses for faster iteration cycles at scale
Litmus gives you full control over your research data. Choose the privacy level that fits your commercial or scientific goals. Nothing is shared without your explicit consent.
Our tools are open source too. Use the Litmus MCP server to let AI agents design and submit experiments programmatically. Browse the docs, contribute, or build your own integrations.
Every scientist is verified: identity, institutional affiliation, authorization documentation, and competency assessment.
Timestamped photos and videos, lab notebook entries, raw data files with full metadata.
Payment held until you approve results. Clear acceptance criteria minimize disputes before work begins.
Random subset re-run by different operators to independently verify results.
Submit your first experiment or talk to us about your workflow — we'll help you get up and running quickly. No large contracts, no long lead times.
