About us:

Today’s research, clinical, and quality control labs are expected to discover and produce at a pace once considered unimaginable. Now, to lead is to be led by data. The Elemental Machines platform elevates LabOps teams in charge of machines, instruments, data, facilities, training, quality, and compliance to lead data-driven discovery, development, and delivery. But there are over 300 million physical instruments, devices, and machines not yet connected to the cloud. We are simplifying the connection between the physical and digital worlds using IoT and AI-driven insights. The result is a lab united by a universal cloud-connected dashboard and operations. 

Elemental Machines is on a mission to enable intelligent operations by connecting the physical and digital infrastructure to optimize outcomes.

Science and technology leaders trust Elemental Machines' ecosystem of hardware and software to deliver actionable insights that accelerate their pace of innovation.

We enable data-driven discovery, development, and delivery within organizations ranging from biopharma labs to biobanks, analytical labs, and manufacturers in the life sciences and beyond.
