Bramante

Bramante designs and sells life-sciences instruments and reagents made in Massachusetts, with API-ready hardware and software that integrates into modern automated labs. They target early access and design-partner programs to ship configurable, programmable bench tools and consumables for AI-augmented manufacturing workflows.

Hardware: a catalog of modular instruments (e.g., Bead Bath, Benchtop Bioreactor, FPLC, Tangential Flow, Peristaltic Pump, Orbital Shaker, Cell Counter, Plate Sealer, Incubator) all designed in-house, machined in the US, priced under $100k, and shipped with spare parts on hand. Each unit comes with a REST API, a Python SDK, and an MCP server to integrate into labs on day one, enabling control via AI agents, notebooks, or schedulers. Software: a companion software service including agent-based control, cloud- and laptop-connected orchestration, and direct engineer support; α/β pre-production units in customers’ labs, closed-loop QC, and a founding-cohort pricing model for production units.

Who it’s for: Life sciences research and manufacturing labs seeking programmable, API-ready instruments and reagent supply, especially design-partner labs looking to adopt AI-driven, robotic-enabled workflows.

Limited design-partner cohort announced for Q3 2026; demonstrations of hardware/software integration and direct engineering access imply early-stage commercialization and pilot/partner activity.
