Benchling helps scientists accelerate R&D with our R&D Cloud, making it easy to centralize scientific data, collaborate across teams, and access insights.
Benchling is a platform for centralizing, designing, and managing experiments, workflows, and results end-to-end. It offers a shared space for research teams to increase speed, coordination, and throughput, and is easy to implement, configure, and maintain. Suitable for any biotech and biopharma research and discovery teams working on early phases of drug discovery, synthetic biology, and other biological research applications.
Experimental Data Capture - Document rich experimental details and connect to relevant data from entities, to results, to automation runs.
Molecular Design - Design and view sequences and perform alignments or assemblies on DNA, RNA, proteins and oligos. Use cutting-edge molecular algorithms like AlphaFold2 and BLAST to analyze sequences.
Registration - A biologically-aware registry that can capture DNA, RNA, AA, oligos, and other entity and associated metadata.
Inventory & Sample Management - Search for and view complete sample data within and across sites with linking to results, experimental info, and entries with registered entities and inventory items.
Operational Insights - Build and share dashboards and reports that track metrics and answer questions from all data created within or pulled into Benchling.
Workflow Management - Initiate, assign, and track tasks through a complex process workflow to achieve efficient and transparent execution.
Platform - Benchling provides the industry's leading cloud-native R&D platform. Extensible using APIs to build integrations that automatically pull and push data out of Benchling and extend to 3rd party apps and analytical tools. 21 CFR Part 11 compliant.
Intuitive, modern interface that's loved by more than 200,000 scientists globally. Secure and trusted by more than 1,200 leading life science companies and 7,500 academic institutions
Flexible, open platform for all scientific data and analysis that connects with all tools, instruments and software
Our work requires technology partners that support the scale and complexity of data created by high-throughput biology. Capturing structured data in Benchling empowers our scientists to ask challenging questions and uncover new insights. Gilead

AWS Marketplace now accepts line of credit payments through the PNC Vendor Finance program. This program is available to select AWS customers in the US, excluding NV, NC, ND, TN, & VT.
Pricing is based on the duration and terms of your contract with the vendor. This entitles you to a specified quantity of use for the contract duration. If you choose not to renew or replace your contract before it ends, access to these entitlements will expire.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.
This listing has one pricing dimension: the Benchling Platform, billed in units under a contract. Pricing is not published as a fixed rate. Instead, you arrange terms through a private offer by contacting your account executive or the vendor's marketplace email. The platform centralizes and unifies R&D data, with options to add capabilities for ecosystem connectivity, data storage, or validation support. Because the price is negotiated, the unit count and contract terms are tailored to your organization's needs rather than set by a standard tier or usage meter.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does one unit of the Benchling Platform represent for billing?
The listing bills in units, but the unit definition is not published. Because this is a private offer, the vendor sets the unit count and what each unit maps to based on your organization's needs. Contact your account executive or the vendor's marketplace email to confirm how units are counted for your agreement.
What core capabilities come with the Benchling Platform, and what requires an upgrade?
The platform centralizes and unifies R&D data, including a lab notebook and molecular biology tools for sequence design and analysis. You can upgrade to add ecosystem connectivity, more data storage, or validation support. These add-ons expand the platform rather than replace the base capabilities.
How is pricing structured since no fixed rate is shown?
Pricing is arranged through a private offer, not a standard rate. The vendor works with your team to tailor the unit count and contract terms to your business needs. To get pricing, contact your account executive or email the vendor's marketplace address for a customized offer.

Good as a digital laboratory notebook
Reviewed on Jan 04, 2025
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I liked the ease of use as a digital laboratory notebook, the ability to add in functional tables, link detailed protocols, and tag people.
What do you dislike about the product?
I disliked the use of benchling as a data and sample tracking system. It was very difficult to both use and navigate even after getting something more complex built out for our use. We ended up scraping our use it for that purpose.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helped to have consise digital laboratory records that are easily accessible by many and can contain multiple researchers.

So Easy and Convenient
Reviewed on Nov 15, 2023
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I have worked for many companies and they all use benchling, the best part is Benchling's versatility (i.e. designing plasmids, ELNs, SOPs) and its ease of use - it is very to use and learn it. It also helps that it is a website and not an app and can be accessed anywhere.
What do you dislike about the product?
The downsides of benchling is sometimes it is unclear where the document is within projects. It sometimes is hard to organize documents within these subcategories.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is great for writing SOPs and ELNs, it also allows for the visualization of the gene of interest. This helps us design and organize experiments and give everyone in the organization access.
