Autonomous labs run at machine speed. Their supply chain doesn't.
AI can propose thousands of experiments a day. But materials are still bought through catalogs, purchase orders and PDFs designed for humans. So today's self-driving labs quietly shrink their search to whatever is already on the shelf.
Built for human buyers
No public ordering APIs. Contract pricing behind logins. Pack sizes made for a bench chemist, not a robot dispensing milligrams.
Quality you can't compute
Lot-to-lot variation silently corrupts results. Certificates of analysis live in PDFs, invisible to the models that need them most.
Humans in the loop
Receiving, weighing, labeling and restocking are still manual, and every hour a robot waits for a person is an hour of science lost.
We touch the atoms. Software is just how you order.
Anyone can build a storefront. Tursi owns the hard part: the material itself. Bought in bulk, tested in our lab, packed for robots, and eventually made by us.
Tested in our lab
We test every lot ourselves before it ships: phase, purity, moisture and particle size. Results come as signed, machine-readable data tied to the exact vial in your rack.
- XRD
- ICP-MS
- Moisture
- Particle size
Quantities that didn't exist
We buy in bulk, direct from producers, and repackage into what robots actually use: milligram aliquots, pre-weighed and barcoded, in vials, racks and plates ready to load.
- mg aliquots
- Pre-weighed
- Barcoded
- Deck-ready
Our inventory. Then our manufacturing.
We hold the stock, including hard-to-get and export-controlled elements, so campaigns never wait on a backorder. Next: purification, custom salts and non-catalog precursors made in-house, on demand.
- Bulk sourcing
- Held inventory
- Made to order
- Custom synthesis
Ordered by your agents
An API and MCP server your agents call directly, with spend policies, compliance screening and a full audit trail. The software is how you reach us. The material is what we do.
- API
- MCP
- Policies
- Audit log
Closed-loop supply. No humans required.
Supply becomes part of the experiment loop, not a ticket in someone's inbox.
Request
Your agent asks for materials via API or MCP.
Authorize
Policies and compliance checks run instantly.
Pick
Pulled from our tested inventory, or made to order.
Verify
Tested in our lab and signed before it ships.
Deliver
Packed for your robot, straight to the deck.
Learn
Lot data flows back into your model.
Your lab's supply chain is one call away.
Order like you'd call any other tool. Get back a tracked, verified shipment and the data to go with it.

Starting with the building blocks of materials discovery.
High-purity inorganic precursors for self-driving materials labs: the inputs AI-designed batteries, catalysts and semiconductors are made from.
Oxides
Transition-metal and rare-earth oxides for solid-state synthesis.
Carbonates
Alkali and alkaline-earth carbonates, battery-grade purity.
Salts & nitrates
Soluble precursors, pre-dissolved to spec for liquid handling.
Metal powders
Elemental powders with controlled particle size and inert packing.
Soon, rooms full of robots will invent new medicines, materials and machines around the clock. Someone has to supply them.
