Infrastructure for
Modern Cell Biology
CCA builds the software and hardware that turn every workflow, sample, and instrument event into machine-readable, audit-ready data, from the bench you already have to fully automated culture.

The operating system for the cell culture lab
CCA Labs is the structured spine under your workflows, experiments, samples and inventory. Pick a surface and see it in action.
Every change, on the record.
Regulated labs run on evidence. CCA Labs records every action as a tamper-evident, append-only trail, so you can prove what happened, who did it and when. We're building to the standards from day one - the controls are in place today, formal certification is on the roadmap.
Manual today. Autonomous by design.
The same record that organises the lab today is the foundation for closing the loop.
People run the bench. CCA Labs captures every step as structured data.
Connected instruments stream readings straight into the run they belong to.
CCA hardware executes protocols inside one controlled environment.
The loop closes. A direction we build toward, not a claim we make today.
Closed-loop, end-to-end cell culture automation.
Every channel, live to the second.
Pebble streams temperature, humidity, CO₂, O₂ and probe readings straight to CCA Labs. Thresholds, drift and history are tracked per channel, so a node leaving its band is obvious at a glance.

Each Pebble paired with your organisation, with its four channels and battery at a glance. Sparklines animate from the live signal; an offline node is impossible to miss.

Design, execute, capture, iterate.
The dALI platform runs complete experiments end to end, so the lab can design, execute, capture and iterate, collecting structured data at every step. That structured data is the valuable output, and it belongs to you.
Your data, your models. Export it any time, no lock-in.
Forecast confluence before you commit the bench.
Tessera captures longitudinal images of every well. growthfit projects each curve forward, so you passage at the right moment instead of by the calendar. Drag now across the timeline to see the estimate firm up.
Start free. Grow when your lab does.
Personal is free for everyone. Add seats and collaboration on CCA Labs when your lab is ready.
Everything you need to run your own lab, free for everyone.
Run a modern biotech lab together, end to end.

Questions, answered.
What is CCA Labs?
The operating system for the cell culture lab. It turns every workflow, sample and instrument event into structured, machine-readable, audit-ready data, starting with the equipment you already have on the bench.
Is CCA Labs really free? Do I need a credit card?
Yes, genuinely free. The Personal plan costs nothing, no credit card, no sales call, no waitlist gate. Create your account at lab.cca.bio and start using the full ELN, inventory and budget tools straight away. Team and Business plans add paid features as your lab grows, but Personal stays free.
Does CCA Labs replace my paper notebook or ELN?
Yes. CCA Labs includes a full electronic lab notebook for designing and recording experiments and protocols, plus the sample, inventory, budget and hardware-integration layers a standalone ELN doesn't cover, so you're not stitching together separate tools.
Can CCA Labs manage my lab's budget and finances?
Yes. Funds and project budgets, purchase orders, and supplier tracking are built in, with allocated, spent and reserved always in view. It's the same platform that runs your experiments, so the science and the money stay linked, which is what lets a lab run as a commercially viable operation rather than just keeping records.
How do I get started with CCA Labs?
CCA Labs is live. Create a free Personal account at lab.cca.bio in minutes, no credit card and no sales call, and start running experiments, tracking inventory, and managing budgets right away. Team plans are also available now; Business is coming soon.
Does it work with the equipment I already have?
Yes, CCA Labs is built to capture structured data from your existing bench and instruments. Native CCA hardware is rolling out alongside it: Pebble telemetry is available today, the Tessera incubator microscope is in early access, and the dALI automation platform is in development.
Who owns the data?
You do. The structured data CCA Labs captures is yours to keep, query and export at any time, with no lock-in.
Is CCA Labs compliant?
The tamper-evident, append-only audit trail is live today. We're building to 21 CFR Part 11 and laying the groundwork for SOC 2, but we are not yet certified, formal certification is on the roadmap.
