DNA construction simplified.

Build better using a dedicated DNA build team and modular assembly approach.

Make ClutchBio your DNA build team. We provide a modular plasmid design platform, comprehensive cloning services, and reusable DNA parts, which help improve turnaround time, reduce cost, and keep your team focused on what matters.

Who We Help

ClutchBio was founded to fill what we see as an unmet need for plasmid cloning services. We form successful partnerships with small, agile research teams that:

1. Have high cloning needs due to quick iteration on DNA designs
2. Cannot order full constructs from DNA synthesis providers due to scale, complexity, or turnaround time
3. Would benefit from storing DNA parts so that DNA can be re-used instead of re-synthesized
4. Need to be resource-efficient and cannot invest millions into developing an internal DNA build team
5. Value the idea of having a centralized system to harmonize disparate teams and projects

Problems We Solve

You don't trust enough to outsource, but are managing a complex or fragile internal system for cloning that has obvious weak points, like spreadsheet formulas and manual checks.

You have a team of scientists and research associates, all with different projects and each using a different cloning strategy, and would like to centralize to a single system.

You are tired of dealing with DNA synthesis complexity issues that throw a wrench into your cloning pipelines, and don't have a good way of dealing with it other than dropping the design.

You are encountering difficulty with sample tracking and freezer management for an increasing number of samples and templates related to cloning efforts.

You are spending a significant amount of money to re-synthesize commonly used DNA parts, like vector backbones or promoter-enhancer elements.

How We Do It

We work with you to establish a custom modular cloning system that is designed with foresight and will work across your different teams and projects.

We help you build out a DNA toolkit of reusable parts that are shared across your team. DNA parts can be reused indefinitely without incurring additional costs for synthesis or construction.

How Fast We Build

What You
Can Expect

For plasmid designs using entirely existing DNA parts from your DNA toolkit, turnaround time can be as little as 3 days.

Testimonials

See how ClutchBio can transform the productivity of your research team.

ClutchBio has been a game-changer for our startup, allowing us to focus on science instead of getting stuck in cloning and troubleshooting. It has significantly accelerated our progress, freeing us from time-consuming molecular workflows.

The team is incredibly helpful and has been consistently responsive to our questions, feedback, and design needs. Their support has made a tangible difference in streamlining our experiments, and I am extremely pleased with working with them.
