Founded in 2016 and based in Toronto, Sci-Bots Inc. develops accessible scientific instruments for digital microfluidics (DMF). Its DropBot ecosystem helps researchers and companies miniaturize, automate, and standardize droplet-based workflows, from assay development and sample preparation to diagnostics, environmental monitoring, and biochemical testing, with open, modular tools designed for flexible laboratory use.

Sci-Bots' DropBot ecosystem is a modular digital microfluidics platform for programmable droplet handling at nanoliter-to-microliter scales. Using electrically actuated chips controlled via our open-source software, DropBot enables automated dispensing, mixing, splitting, incubation, heating, magnetic bead workflows and optical detection without pumps, valves, or tips, supporting reproducible sample preparation and assay automation across labs.
