# Transcriptic (Strateos)

> Transcriptic is a robotic cloud laboratory for the life sciences, now operating as
> Strateos (following a merger with 3Scan). It lets researchers design, submit and run
> wet-lab biology experiments remotely on automated robotic infrastructure, specifying
> experiments in Autoprotocol (an open JSON standard) and retrieving the resulting
> datasets programmatically. The platform exposes a JSON:API-compliant REST API at
> https://secure.strateos.com, plus an official Python client and CLI (TxPy).
