Case Study: Pairwise achieves scalable, data-driven high-throughput plant R&D with Benchling

Powering High-Throughput Plant Genetics to Cultivate the Fruits and Vegetables of Tomorrow

Pairwise is an agricultural biotech company using CRISPR and NGS to develop healthier fruits and vegetables. Because plants don’t produce genetically identical progeny, their R&D generates extremely high-complexity, high-throughput workflows—often hundreds of individual plants per sample set—requiring coordinated handoffs between wet lab and greenhouse and thousands of data points to turn into actionable decisions.

Benchling provided a centralized, cloud-based platform with a customized plant registry, templated notebooks, Requests for consistent handoffs, molecular biology tools, NGS integration, and APIs. The result: standardized tracking of >78,800 plants and 4,728 plasmids with 100% user adoption, real-time dashboards and pre-computed reports for faster, data-driven decisions, reduced transfer errors, and transparent workflows that accelerate candidate selection and scale Pairwise’s pipeline.
