Trilobio

Trilobio builds whole-lab automation for genetic engineering, synthetic biology, and life-science research — affordable robotics "built by biologists, for biologists." The platform pairs the Trilobot (a self-calibrating, tool-changing lab robot with 16 deck slots), interchangeable gripper/pipette tools, and Trilobio OS (no-code, GUI-driven protocol design with automatic sample layout, error checking, an automated lab notebook, and LIMS). For developers, Trilobio exposes T-code — the command language of Trilobots — through the open-source Python `tcode-api` package, which drives a Trilobot fleet via a local T-code Servicer and integrates third-party lab devices. Founded in 2021 in San Francisco by Roya Amini-Naieni and Maximilian Schommer; backed by Initialized Capital, Argon Ventures, and Lowercarbon Capital.

Trilobio publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Frontier Tech, Lab Automation, Biotech, and Life Sciences.

Trilobio’s developer surface includes documentation, getting-started guide, API reference, engineering blog, signup flow, and 9 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Health regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/trilobio: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts. Want it done for you? Prioritized profiling — $2,500 →
