Anaco
ANACO's Tinylab is an automated desktop laboratory that brings full quality control and process monitoring directly to the user's bench, delivering results in under an hour at a fraction of the cost of traditional third-party labs. The system automates sample preparation, separation, measurement, and AI-driven inference using microfluidic mixing, chromatography, and 10 on-board spectroscopy, voltammetry, and electrochemistry instruments. It is offered on a subscription basis of $600 per month, versus $600 per sample at external labs, targeting farms and food and beverage producers.

Problem
Farms and production facilities rely on third-party laboratories for regulatory compliance, quality control, and process monitoring, but these labs are slow and expensive. Delays and high costs increase the risk of spoilage, reduce operational efficiency, and limit the collection of useful data for improving yields.
Solution
ANACO's Tinylab is an automated desktop laboratory that brings full quality control and process monitoring directly to the user's bench. The system automates sample preparation, separation, measurement, and AI-driven inference, delivering results in under an hour at a fraction of the cost of traditional labs. It uses microfluidic mixing, chemical derivatization, serial dilution, thermal processing, and chromatography to prepare and separate samples, then relies on 10 on-board instruments specializing in spectroscopy, voltammetry, and electrochemistry for measurement. AI-powered inference converts raw signals into actionable concentration data. By enabling users to test and refine production processes in a simulated environment, Tinylab helps reduce expenses, increase yields, and improve overall quality.
Target Audience
Primary customers are farms, food and beverage producers, and other agricultural or manufacturing facilities that need frequent, on-site quality control and process monitoring.
