Every lab instrument, speaking one language.
Glint is a small, low-cost adapter that sits between a lab instrument and your computer, so readings arrive as clean data instead of being copied by hand.
- Translates each instrument's protocol into standard data
- Goes wireless over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth
- Logs every reading with a timestamp
- Swappable cartridges for RS-232 today, more interfaces planned
Lab instruments can't talk to your computer.
Instruments last for decades, but the cables, software and PCs that connect them don't. So people read the display and copy the numbers by hand, which is slow and easy to get wrong.
From the instrument to your spreadsheet, no typing.
Sends a reading
A lab balance sends a weight over its RS-232 port.
Converts signals
The cartridge turns RS-232 into logic levels the processor can read.
Translates
The balance's profile turns it into a value, unit, device and timestamp.
Lands in your data
Sent over USB or Wi-Fi, and logged even when offline.
Swap the cartridge, not the device.
Gateway 0.1 has an ESP32-S3 processing block and a removable cartridge for each kind of instrument connection.
- Align the cartridge on the printed guide rails
- Slide it in; 16 internal contacts mate automatically
- Snap latch locks it; press to release
LLMs + statistical models produce nearly deterministic converters.
Our harness combines LLMs with statistical models like Jev to turn instrument manuals and recorded data into converters that behave almost identically every time. Each one is tested against real instrument data and reviewed by a person before it ships. No AI runs on the device.
Built for the labs big platforms skip.
Academic research labs
Aging instruments, tight budgets, and students who rotate out every year.
QC & testing labs
Hand-copied readings are slow and a data-integrity risk in audits.
Small biotech startups
Connected lab data without an enterprise software contract.
Teaching labs
Students spend class time on science, not on copying numbers.
Where Glint is headed.
Develop Gateway 0.1
A working prototype, then more interface cartridges.
Lab pilots
Real use on real instruments in labs.
Market-ready product
A redesign shaped by what we learn in the pilots.
