Tangible Scientific: Compound Management for Drug Discovery

Who We Serve

Built for discovery R&D

Biotechs launching their first programs

Build efficient workflows from the start, instead of inheriting whichever solutions individual vendors happen to offer.

Teams scaling across multiple programs

Efficiently manage libraries and vendors as programs multiply, keeping your scientists focused on the science instead of logistics.

Clinical-stage companies restarting discovery

Bring discovery back online without restarting the same inefficient workflows that slowed you down before.

Do you have a logistics bottleneck?

select all that apply

Someone spends hours a week reconciling variable CRO manifests.

You plan experiments around inventory you don’t fully trust.

Checking an order's status requires sending an email.

Too many mornings are dedicated to finding and diluting compounds.

Compounds often arrive with no manifests and take days to sort out.

No problem!

You run the science, we'll handle the logistics.

AI and outsourcing have made discovery faster and cheaper, but along the way we forgot to build systems to coordinate the work. Tangible's connected workspace simplifies logistics so your team can spend less time managing vendors and more time on the science.

Get back the hours you're burning on research coordination

Keep research operations small and mighty as programs scale

Remove the logistics bottleneck slowing down your DMTA cycle

Compound management that doesn’t need a manager

Reconcile highly variable CRO manifests

AI automatically ingests manifests in any format, reconciling them against your inventory to flag what’s missing, unexpected, or unusable.

Manifest documents reconciling into inventory grid

One secure source of truth for all your compounds

Inventory, orders, and status connected in one secure workspace, replacing scattered email threads and conflicting versions with a record your whole team can trust.

Clipboard checklist with colored shape markers

End to end visibility across every order

See every compound and order across your vendors from receipt through processing, shipment, and delivery. Plan experiments more effectively by knowing what's coming, what's delayed, and where your dependencies are.

Bidirectional API data flow between systems

Compound management built software first

Use Tangible as your purpose-built LIMS for inventory, ordering, tracking and sample history. API-first architutre allows you to integrate with your existing informatics systems to get the best of both worlds.

Compounds ready when you need them

Same-day turnaround for Boston metro via Tangible’s Natick facility, next-day for rest of US. Compounds move at the speed of your research.

Bulletproof audit trails

Track every compound through each receipt, decrement, movement, reformat, freeze/thaw cycle, and disposal. When an unexpected result needs investigation, rule out logistics questions immediately.

How it works

Your workflows. Less logistics.

STEP 1

We organize your inventory

Whether your compounds are held by vendors, stored with us, or scattered across spreadsheets, we untangle the records to create an inventory you can see, track, and trust.

STEP 2

You place orders

Select your compounds and work request at the click of a button. Submit through Tangible's workspace or your existing informatics system, with every instruction and revision kept together in one secure record.

STEP 3

Then move on

Tangible handles the logistics from prep and plating through shipment and delivery, with real-time visibility at every step, leaving you free to focus on the science.

What our partners say

“Evommune initiated its own outsourced drug-discovery programs in 2024, and has amassed over 13,000 samples from multiple vendors in multiple formats. Working with Tangible has changed the game for us. We now have centralized compound management with a simple interface, and have significantly streamlined our compound logistics, with the ability to ship to multiple continents in diverse sample formats. As all parts of this system are based in the USA, we are confident in the security of our samples, data, and IP. We now have discovery logistics on par with my big pharma experience, and my chemists are confident they can be highly competitive as Evommune disrupts the I&I space.”

Bruce Clapham

Executive Director of Medicinal Chemistry, Evommune

“Tangible has been an invaluable partner in managing our compound library, seamlessly handling the logistics that would be overwhelming for a small biotech. Their team is responsive, adaptable to our needs, and deeply understands how biotech operates, making collaboration with our CRO and academic partners effortless. Their expertise allows us to focus on science while they take care of the rest.”

Dan Baird

VP of Molecular Discovery, Casma Therapeutics

“What impressed me most about Tangible was the care and attention they brought to every step of the process. They were exceptionally responsive to our needs and went above and beyond to develop a system that was intuitive, user-friendly, and thoughtfully designed. The speed, precision, and quality of their work are truly unmatched in the industry. Their approach allowed us to focus entirely on the drug discovery process, with complete confidence that our compound management needs were in expert hands.”
