Case Study: Pairwise tracked 78,000+ plants and 4,728 plasmids at 100% user adoption with Benchling
Key results
The challenge
Pairwise uses CRISPR to develop new fruit and vegetable varieties, generating high volumes of individually tracked plants, with sample sets often two orders of magnitude larger than a typical biopharma set. The team lacked a central system to organize plant data, manage complex handoffs, and aggregate metrics for decision-making.
The solution
Pairwise adopted Benchling to register plants and plasmids, centralize experiment data across teams from discovery to development, and generate pre-computed reports aggregating weekly metrics for program decisions.
The results, in context
Pairwise reported more than 78,000 plants registered into its inventory and 4,728 plasmids designed with Benchling, with 100% user adoption. The platform gave teams a central, accessible system to track high volumes of individual plant entities.
