**APIs profiled:** 5

Element Biosciences is a San Diego based life-sciences instrumentation company that builds benchtop DNA sequencing and multiomics systems — the AVITI, AVITI LT, AVITI24 and VITARI platforms — around its proprietary Avidite Base Chemistry (ABC), which decouples signal generation from nucleotide incorporation to deliver high-accuracy base calling at lower cost than conventional sequencing-by-synthesis. Instrument output is managed through ElemBio Cloud, the company's analysis and data-management platform, which runs bioinformatics workflows such as Bases2Fastq and Cells2Stats and streams run data into customer-owned cloud storage connections. ElemBio Cloud exposes a public, versioned REST API — the Element Biosciences Cloud API — plus a first-party cross-platform CLI, giving labs programmatic access to sequencing and multiomics runs, workflow executions, registered instruments, storage connections and the files those resources produce, for dashboards, fleet monitoring, LIMS read-back and custom automation.
