Lab Overview
Greentown Labs’ 26-bench wet lab is home to startups creating everything from long-duration energy storage to energy-efficient manufacturing membranes to silk coatings that extend the freshness of produce and proteins.
The 1,800-square-foot, BSL-2 space is located right next to Greentown’s prototyping lab space, allowing for innovations both inside and outside the wet lab. Greentown provides equipment, manages the lab, and encourages scientists to share ideas and knowledge.
This shared, multidisciplinary lab is a special place.
“Greentown has been such a tremendous partner to enable us to do what we need to do. We started off with one guy in the lab, and two months later we’re going to have six people there. That ability to scale up was incredibly valuable. The flexibility and right-sizing for our needs and the immediate access have been the three pillars that have made us so successful at Greentown.”
