Araceli, Ginkgo Integrate High-Speed Cell Imaging Into Nebula Lab
Boston – – October 08, 2026 -- Araceli Biosciences and Ginkgo Bioworks (NYSE: DNA) have integrated Araceli's Endeavor high-content imaging instrument into Nebula, Ginkgo's autonomous laboratory in Boston, adding what the companies describe as the world's fastest high-content imaging system to a facility already running more than 100 automated carts around the clock.
Endeavor images a 1536-well plate in under four minutes
The Endeavor instrument captures and analyzes cellular data from a full 1536-well plate in less than four minutes, running continuously alongside Nebula's other always-on experiments. The system is built on Ginkgo's Reconfigurable Automation Carts (RACs), modular units combining robotic arms, automated sample transport and unified control software that let instruments be added or rearranged as research workflows shift.
