Sapio LIMS and ELN: A Complete Lab Management Software Solution for Managing Requests, Samples, Processes and Instrument Data
Whether your lab is doing PCR, genomics, proteomics, protein engineering, medicinal chemistry, sequencing or other lab experiments/tests, it is operating as an advanced workflow processing center. These workflows start when the sample arrives at your lab and continue as the sample is processed in one or more lab experiments. Typically, though, your work does not end when the sample is accessioned and put in a freezer. In fact, that is just the beginning of an overarching process involving bench protocol tracking, material tracking, instrument integrations, data analysis and results delivery. To realize the digital lab, your LIMS/ELN should be able to be easily configured to meet all these requirements at scale while retaining ease of use and agility to change.
The Seamless Lab: ELN LIMS in a Single Solution
Organizations are starting to realize that the data silos of the past are no longer going to work. Also, inflexible solutions that do not enable FAIR compliance with easy data capture, rapid process modeling, powerful integrated search, data visualizations and analytics will not enable them to accelerate their research and development efforts. It is clear that there can no longer be data silos and expensive (and often failed) integration efforts. Ideally moving towards a single skill set to administer all your lab and research needs further improves agility and lowers costs.
ELN with LIMS: Beyond traditional Lab Management Software
The modern digital lab view process and data as an asset. Under this scenario the lab should be able to quickly configure complex process workflows, chain the workflows together into overarching processes and be able to then track work progress, show work to be done, etc. Critical within the lab workflow is automation both from a physical processing standpoint, such as acquiring automated liquid handler robots, to the LIMS integrating with robotics to send instructions as well as read output whether its sample quantitative\ qualitative assessments or assay result data.
Looking to the future, scale is going to be critical. One thing that is certain is that data volumes will increase over time and not decrease. The research lab management software should be able to scale to huge data volumes with many data points and be able to load it all in a timely fashion without bogging down the system performance over time.
With Sapio LIMS System there is no limit on what type of processes can be tracked due to the versatility of Sapio to adapt to any lab process quickly via configuration. Sapio's agility is in full force as you can easily configure these processes to collect key information while guiding the lab technicians.
Further, in addition to our many out of the box integrations, our configurable instrument integration capability means Sapio LIMS system can load most instrument files with zero coding. To provide further analytical insights, Sapio also tracks all turnaround time metrics so you can easily search and visualize how your lab is performing over time.
A Collaborative LIMS System & Electronic Lab Notebook
In addition to its configurable workflow engine and experiment templates, Sapio Seamless is the only solution that offers real time collaboration. When working through a lab workflow any number of lab technicians can be working concurrently on the same workflow. When working through an experiment any number of scientists can be working concurrently on the same experiment. Each one can be editing and recording important information without other colleagues having to exit the workflow or experiment. System users can also use our integrated chat along with discussion threads for efficient communication.
Also unique to Sapio Seamless ELN LIMS is that is has real time data updates, so as others make updates to the workflow, experiment or data you are viewing, the system will reflect those changes immediately without you having to refresh the view. Sapio is therefore the only system on the market that ensures you are always seeing current data whether inside or outside a workflow or experimental process.
Sapio Seamless: The Digital Lab Realized
Sapio LIMS Software is built on the industry best informatics platform with integrated LIMS system, Electronic Lab Notebook software (ELN) and Scientific Data Management. All data is cross system, targeted searchable and can be visualized and even analyzed with our integrated data warehouse. Sapio also supports bio and chem aware searching as well as structured and unstructured data searching. You can easily find similar compounds, sequences, protein, HELM structures right from a single search box.
Sapio is also the only platform integrating charting within its platform. Any search as well as any other table of data can instantly and easily be visualized by the researcher or scientist with little or no training. Sapio also includes analytics right within the platform, so you easily pump system wide search data right into advanced analytics like curve fitting or neural networks. We also provide, when relevant, 3D visualizations that the user can manipulate directly in the analytics interface.
