Ginkgo Cloud Lab (https://cloud.ginkgo.bio) provides remote access to Ginkgo Bioworks' autonomous lab infrastructure. Protocols are executed on Reconfigurable Automation Carts (RACs) -- modular units with robotic arms, maglev sample transport, and industrial-grade software spanning 70+ instruments.

The platform also includes EstiMate, an AI agent that accepts human-language protocol descriptions and returns feasibility assessments and pricing for custom workflows beyond the listed protocols.
Rapid go/no-go expression screening using reconstituted E. coli CFPS. Submit a FASTA sequence (up to 1800 bp) and receive expression confirmation, baseline titer (mg/L), and initial purity with virtual gel images.
DoE-based optimization across up to 24 conditions per protein (lysates, temperatures, chaperones, disulfide enhancers, cofactors). Designed for difficult-to-express and membrane proteins.
Transform a pixel art image (48x48 to 96x96 px, PNG/SVG) into fluorescent bacterial artwork using up to 11 E. coli strains via acoustic dispensing. Delivered as high-res UV photographs.
For protocols not listed above, use the EstiMate chat to describe a custom protocol in plain language and receive compatibility assessment and pricing.

npx claudepluginhub alterlab-ieu/alterlab-academic-skills --plugin alterlab-visualizationSubmit protocols on Ginkgo Bioworks Cloud Lab for cell-free protein expression and fluorescent pixel art. Includes ordering workflow and custom protocol feasibility via EstiMate AI.
Submits protein sequences via Python SDK for cell-free expression (10–100 µg) and binding affinity (KD) assays against targets. Tracks status and retrieves results for ML-guided directed evolution and antibody/nanobody optimization.
Submits and tracks experiments on the Adaptyv cloud laboratory platform for automated protein testing and wet-lab validation, and optimizes protein sequences for expression using computational tools (NetSolP, SoluProt, SolubleMPNN, ESM).
