Benchling
Benchling is a life-sciences R&D cloud - a unified LIMS, electronic lab notebook (ELN), molecular biology registry, sample inventory, and workflow platform for biotech and pharma. Its tenant-scoped REST API (v2) exposes the same objects scientists work with in the UI - DNA/RNA/protein sequences, custom entities and the registry, inventory (boxes, locations, containers, plates), notebook entries, assay results and runs, lab-automation transforms, workflow tasks, and requests - plus events and webhooks for event-driven automation.
Benchling publishes 20 APIs on the APIs.io network, including AA Sequences API, Apps API, Assay Results API, and 17 more. Tagged areas include Life Sciences, Biotech, LIMS, Electronic Lab Notebook, and Registry.
Benchling’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, engineering blog, and 10 more developer resources.
