StackWave, LLC
Integrated LIMS, ELN, and data management for biologics R&D teams, from discovery through IND.
Overview
StackWave is the creator of StackWave Affinity™, described as the most comprehensive software platform for biologics R&D. The platform is purpose-built for biologics research and development scientists, drawing on decades of domain experience to deliver an integrated solution that is ready to use from day one. StackWave Affinity serves a broad range of organizations — from CROs making customer deliveries and start-ups advancing toward IND, to established biopharma companies supporting multiple programs simultaneously.
Rather than relying on a collection of one-off tools, StackWave Affinity consolidates essential discovery capabilities into a single system at a single price, dramatically reducing software budgets while improving productivity across every team, from the lab bench to the C-suite.

- Single Data Repository: Provides one source of truth for all organizational data, enabling scientists to review results and identify patterns within teams, within projects, and across the entire organization.
- Support for Every Team: Designed to coordinate, support, and execute all scientist activities in one place, with seamless hand-off between teams throughout the R&D process.
- Advanced Reporting: Allows teams to design custom dashboards that monitor progress, identify bottlenecks, and support data-driven decision-making.
