A Chemistry-Native AI Workbench for Biotech R&D
REACTOR is used by biotech teams working on the chemistry side of the field — fermentation process chemistry, bioprocess optimization, bio-based materials, biocatalysis, and bioactive formulation. It reasons across peer-reviewed literature, your own protocols, and connected chemistry data sources, with source references for extracted claims and supporting citations for synthesized inferences.
Free tier available. No credit card required.
Biotech chemistry sits between molecular biology and downstream chemical processing.
A typical project covers strain or enzyme selection, fermentation chemistry, bioprocess optimization, downstream recovery, formulation, and the broader product context. Each step draws on peer-reviewed literature, supplier specs, characterization data, and the team's own bioreactor and downstream results.
The slow part is reasoning across that surface coherently. Holding biology, chemistry, and process engineering in context as the project moves between strain optimization, fermentation runs, and downstream chemistry.
REACTOR is a chemistry co-pilot designed for the chemistry side of this work. It reasons across biotech chemistry alongside the materials you bring in, links extracted claims to source documents, and keeps captured insights organized in your Research Space.
Where REACTOR Fits Across Biotech
Biotech chemistry spans a broad surface. REACTOR is built for the chemistry-focused parts: fermentation, downstream, materials, biocatalysis, formulation. Drug discovery and clinical work sit outside our current scope.

What This Looks Like in Biotech
Concrete examples of how REACTOR's chemistry-native reasoning supports the full R&D loop: discover, analyze, capture, reuse.
Optimizing a Fermentation Media
A fermentation scientist optimizing a microbial production process interrogates the literature on media chemistry and trace nutrient effects alongside their own bioreactor data. REACTOR reasons across the chemistry, with source references on extracted claims.
Comparing Downstream Purification Approaches
A bioprocess engineer comparing chromatography and crystallization for downstream recovery uploads supplier data and recent process literature. REACTOR reasons across purification chemistry, with the analysis captured as a Resource.
Investigating an Enzyme Stability Issue
An R&D lead investigating enzyme deactivation in a biocatalysis run uploads characterization data and adjacent literature. REACTOR surfaces relevant deactivation chemistry and prior-art context, attached to the Research Space.
Forking Reasoning on Two Biopolymer Routes
A bio-based materials chemist forks a reasoning thread to evaluate two microbial production routes for a target biopolymer. Both lines of inquiry stay live in the Research Space, with AI Notes and User Notes captured separately.
Web Research Inside REACTOR
REACTOR includes live web research alongside its core chemistry reasoning. Biotech chemistry scientists use it to evaluate raw-material and equipment suppliers, compare enzyme and strain vendors, track regulatory and sustainability shifts, and access current industry intelligence from across the open web. Web results are presented with source provenance; users should verify critical safety or regulatory information against primary literature, regulatory databases, or supplier data.

Test REACTOR on Your Own Biotech Chemistry Work
Open a Research Space, bring in a paper, patent, or one of your own bioprocess data, and see how REACTOR reasons across the chemistry in your own work.
REACTOR supports R&D reasoning and information work. It is not a substitute for institutional safety review. Always consult qualified safety officers and validated SOPs before lab work involving hazardous chemistry.
