Automation for the lab bench

Turn the manual work of running a lab into systems that run themselves.

Inventory, batch records, follow-ups, quality. The work that lives in spreadsheets and people's heads — moved into tools that just work, built by someone who's done the bench work.

atmata  ·  أَتْمَتَة  — the Arabic word for automation, and a cousin of automata: machines that act on their own.

Today: scattered spreadsheets one source of truth
Today: "who was handling that?" tracked to closure
Today: audit panic audit-ready by default

Built where the work is real — live reagents, real batch records, real audits. Atmata productizes the systems that keep a working lab honest, so you don't have to rebuild them in a spreadsheet again.

What we build

Tools that remove the manual step.

Each one solves a specific loop that's costing your team time. Start with the one that hurts most — add the rest when they earn their place.

Live

Inventory that counts itself

Track every reagent, solvent, and material by lot and location. Stock deducts as it's used, COAs and expiry dates stay attached, and you get a heads-up before you run out — not after.

Live

Open loops — nothing slips

Every commitment, follow-up, and waiting-on item lives in one place and stays there until it's closed. The things that used to live in your head, or get lost in email, finally have a home.

Live

Reaction & batch automation

Run a reaction from a digital record: stoichiometry, charges, and timings as you go, with photos, LCMS, GCMS, and TLC captured in line. Every gram drawn updates inventory on its own.

In build

Quality & ISO 9001

Document control, SOPs, training records, CAPAs, and a complete change history — kept current as you work, so a certification audit is a walkthrough, not a fire drill. We build it alongside your QMS.

Build with you

Process safety screening

Screen reactions for thermal risk and criticality, and generate the safety documentation to match. The judgment of a process chemist, encoded into a tool your whole team can use.

Build with you

Custom workflow automation

Email, Slack, spreadsheets, file storage, instruments, your ERP — wired together so data moves on its own. If you can describe the manual step, we can usually automate it.

And the glue around them: dashboards that update themselves, reports that generate on schedule, and alerts to Slack, email, or text the moment a number crosses a line.

How an engagement works

We don't sell you software you have to figure out.

We map the work, automate the loop, connect it to your tools, and hand you the keys. You own what we build.

01 / Map

Map the manual work

We sit with your team and trace how the work actually flows today — every manual step, workaround, and copy-paste.

02 / Automate

Automate the loop

We build the system that removes the step costing you most: inventory, records, follow-ups, whatever's bleeding time.

03 / Connect

Connect your tools

We wire it into what you already use, so nothing lives on an island and data stops being re-entered by hand.

04 / Hand off

Hand you the keys

You own it. We document it, train your team, and stay on call when you want to extend it.

Quality & ISO 9001

Audit-ready isn't a sprint before the audit.

Most quality systems are a binder someone updates in a panic. Atmata's quality module keeps the record current as the work happens — so the evidence already exists when the auditor asks. We're building this hand-in-hand with the first labs to adopt it.

  • Controlled SOPs with version history
  • Training records tied to each procedure
  • CAPAs tracked from open to verified close
  • A change log that writes itself as you work
Why Atmata

Built by a process chemist, not a generic dev shop.

We speak your work

Reagents, lots, batch records, thermal hazards, audits. You won't spend the first month teaching us what a COA is or why a charge order matters.

Your data stays yours

It runs on infrastructure you control, on terms you set. No lock-in, no selling your operations data back to you.

Start small, prove it, expand

One painful loop first. When it earns its place, we add the next. You never pay for a platform you haven't grown into.

You own what we build

Documentation, training, and a clear handoff. Atmata is a partner, not a dependency you can never leave.

Let's talk

Tell us the one thing that keeps slipping.

A 30-minute call to find the loop worth automating first. No deck, no pressure — just a look at where your team is losing time.
