Your Sous chef in the lab.

Sous brings protocol design, guided execution, and experiment context into one place. Allows wet-lab teams to run more consistently and lowers failures.

Repeatable lab work.

Protocol design, guided execution, and experiment context — in one place.

How it works

See the experiment take shape.

Protocols are the reusable building blocks. Experiments bring together the hypothesis, the plan, and the results in one place, so each run has clear intent, execution, and evidence attached.

Golden Gate as input, step, and output nodes.

Press enter or space to select a node. You can then use the arrow keys to move the node around. Press delete to remove it and escape to cancel.

The left side now shows a dummy Golden Gate protocol as a real workflow shape: inputs at the top, step nodes through the middle, and the assembled plasmid as the output.

Hypothesis

Lower induction temperature should improve soluble protein yield without extending the run beyond a single shift.

Drag protocol blocks into the experiment plan.

Start with the experiment hypothesis so the plan has explicit intent before anything is run.

Protocols

Reusable recipes for lab work.

Protocols are the base building blocks in Sous. They define the recipe for all sorts of wet-lab work in a structured, open format that can be reviewed, reused, and improved over time.

Experiments

Hypothesis, plan, and results together.

Each experiment captures three things: the hypothesis, the plan, and the results. That gives teams a user-friendly record of what they intended to do, how they ran it, and what actually happened.

FAQ >

A few quick answers.

What is Sous, in plain terms?

Sous is a lab workflow workspace for turning static protocols into guided, repeatable execution with experiment context attached.

Is this a LIMS or inventory tool?

Not first. The current focus is protocol design, protocol running, and experiment documentation rather than broad inventory workflows.

Who is it for?

Wet-lab teams that want more consistency at the bench without forcing scientists to juggle separate protocol, run, and notebook tools.

What makes it different from a static SOP or PDF?

Instead of a document that people interpret by hand, Sous aims to provide a standard definition, a guided runner, and a record of what actually happened.
