Ginkgo Bioworks announced on July 30, 2025, that its Ginkgo Automation segment was selected by the Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory (EMSL) at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL). The contract, valued at $4.66 million, is for the delivery of a state-of-the-art automated anaerobic phenotyping platform.
Ginkgo will construct and install a fully integrated workcell comprising 18 different devices housed within a modular anaerobic chamber at EMSL's Richland, Washington campus. This system will utilize Ginkgo Automation's Reconfigurable Automation Cart (RAC) technology.
The platform is designed to enable EMSL scientists to remotely operate complex end-to-end anaerobic phenotyping workflows, streamlining research processes and accelerating discovery in microbial engineering and biodesign for the bioeconomy. This deployment underscores the adaptability and value of Ginkgo's automation solutions for leading research institutions.
