alt-LIMS

Scispot alt-LIMS is a no-code, cloud-native Laboratory Information Management System designed to help labs of all sizes — from small biotech startups to large enterprise operations — modernize and centralize their laboratory workflows. Built with an API-first architecture and configurable data model templates, alt-LIMS is ready to use from day one, eliminating the lengthy implementation timelines associated with traditional LIMS platforms.

Trusted by labs around the world, Scispot alt-LIMS combines sample management, workflow automation, instrument connectivity, and AI-powered capabilities into a single unified platform. It is purpose-built for life sciences teams seeking to move away from manual, fragmented operations toward a connected, scalable, and compliance-ready lab environment.

Centralized Sample Management

• Track diverse sample types including patient biopsies, environmental swabs, and reagent inventories
• Capture and manage rich metadata alongside barcode-based sample identification
• Assign preparation and analysis templates based on sample type and required analysis
• Configure custom workflow rules for preparation, processing, analysis, and reporting tailored to each sample type

Labflow Automation

• Automate standard operating procedures (SOPs) for assays including PCR, HPLC, and mass spectrometry
• Reduce manual data entry and human error across routine laboratory tasks
• Leverage powerful built-in automation scripts to streamline every step from sample handling to final analysis
• Enable scientists to focus on research rather than administrative duties

Lab Data Integrity and Security

• End-to-end encryption protects all laboratory data
• Granular user permissions control access across teams
• Comprehensive audit trails support regulatory accountability
• Fully compliant with HIPAA and GDPR standards
• Maintains stringent data integrity to help labs avoid risks associated with non-compliance

Integrated Instrument and Application Connectivity

• One-click integrations with major lab instruments including PCR machines, sequencers, GC-MS, and HPLC systems
• Connect with ELNs, ERP systems, and third-party scientific applications for unified data management
• Scispot GLUE brings all scientific applications and instruments into a unified FAIR data cloud
• Simplifies transfer, transformation, and analysis of lab data across the digital lab ecosystem
• Instrument integration reduces manual entry errors and accelerates data collection and processing

Customizable Reporting and Data Visualization

• Generate tailored, audit-ready reports using configurable templates
• Dynamic data visualization dashboards adapt to each lab's specific reporting needs
• API-first design supports machine learning and AI data preparation workflows

Scalable Cloud-Native Architecture

• Cloud-based platform scales to handle increasing data volumes and concurrent users
• Supports big data management and data model standardization
• Equally suited for small labs and large biotechs without requiring system replacement as the organization grows
• Cost-effective compared to traditional LIMS systems that require heavy implementation investment

Scispot AI Agent — Scibot

• AI agent embedded within alt-LIMS to transform lab operations

External Data and CRO/CMO Integration

• API-first architecture enables seamless import of external data from Contract Research Organizations (CROs) and Contract Manufacturing Organizations (CMOs)
• Automatically standardizes imported data into consistent formats
• Auto-checks for discrepancies in units, detects duplicates and outliers, and facilitates rapid correction

Key Platform Differentiators

• No-code and extensive API configuration options for flexible, customizable workflows
• Optimized UI designed for high-throughput laboratory environments
• Built-in configurable templates for different company types and workflows enabling instant deployment
• Seamlessly integrates LIMS and ELN capabilities within a single platform
• White glove customer support including a dedicated account manager, dedicated Slack or Teams channel, and unlimited expert training and consulting
