Scigilian

Scigilian is an all-in-one Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) designed to help life sciences and drug discovery organizations centralize their data, streamline lab operations, and accelerate research workflows. By consolidating information in a single platform, Scigilian enables teams to reduce cycle times, increase throughput, enhance data quality, and maintain real-time visibility across the entire lab — eliminating data loss and enabling faster, more informed decision-making.

The platform serves R&D labs engaged in drug discovery, offering a complete solution for lab, data, and process management. Scigilian supports both internal research teams and external collaborators, including CROs and service providers, by automating decisions and actions, minimizing manual intervention, and streamlining the knowledge flow between research groups.

Key Modules and Products

• Analyze: Enables rapid analysis of bioassay results with greater accuracy and consistency, ensuring results are comparable week-to-week and across assays. Allows labs to quickly bring new assays online, expedite decision-making based on reproducible data, and eliminate manual steps — all without requiring extensive IT programming or complex Excel formulas.
• Request: Coordinates assay logistics between internal and external labs, providing detailed real-time access to request status. Helps avoid missed deadlines, submission errors, and incomplete information that can delay experiments or waste samples. Supports both manual and automated orchestration of work to minimize cycle times.
• Visualize: Enables consolidation, aggregation, and comparison of biological assay results for individual compounds, sets of compounds, or those sharing a common substructure. Automates result consolidation from different sources, reduces false positives and negatives, and makes it easy to share results within teams or with external partners.
• Store: Provides seamless inventory tracking without the need for spreadsheets or manual barcode mapping. Manages complex compound ordering, boosts sample availability and quality, helps identify container contents quickly, and handles overflow, dead volumes, and intermediates.
• Assay & Protocol Registry (APR): A centralized repository for assays, protocols, and standard operating procedures (SOPs). Supports validation, versioning, and easy access to assays, targets, and SOPs. Addresses challenges such as scattered documentation, lack of standardized dictionaries and ontologies, limited interdepartmental visibility, duplicated assay efforts, and the absence of formal assay registration and approval processes.
