The Endeavor, the world's fastest high-content imaging system, brings cellular imaging with real-time analysis to Nebula's existing technologies, giving researchers the large, curated datasets needed to train and validate drug discovery AI models.

Nebula is built on Ginkgo's Reconfigurable Automation Carts (RACs). Each RAC is a modular unit that combines robotic arms, automated sample transport, and unified control software, so instruments can be added or rearranged as workflows change. Every day, dozens of scientists use the 100+ RACs on Nebula for real research, submitting protocols and getting their data the next day. Nebula does the work of many scientists autonomously and in parallel, running day and night and using around a third of the space as a traditional lab bench would need for the same work. .

Imaging a 1536-well plate in under four minutes, the Endeavor is integrated into Nebula's RAC-based system and runs continuously alongside its always-on experiments. With Araceli's ClaireRT™ software, the Endeavor analyzes every well as the image is captured. When a well falls outside defined criteria, the system can alert operators or Nebula, or halt imaging so issues are addressed before the experiment continues.
