Walk-away workflow
How Orca works
Orca delivers high-quality libraries with an easy-to-set-up workflow. Real-time run visibility keeps your team informed without needing to stay at the instrument.
AI Protocol Builder
Build AI-powered protocols with Reef
Upload a kit's IFU, and Reef, Orca's AI protocol builder, automatically converts them into a deck-aware automation workflow. Review and validate every step before running the protocol on the instrument.
