Biologics LIMS

LabKey Biologics LIMS is a purpose-built antibody discovery software platform designed for biotech teams that require speed, structure, and scalability in their biologics R&D workflows. It centralizes data from screening, hit selection, and characterization, connecting samples, assays, biological entities, and results within a single integrated environment. By enforcing structured data standards and maintaining complete traceability, the platform enhances data integrity and reproducibility — giving both scientists and decision-makers greater confidence in their findings. The platform also lays a solid foundation for future AI and machine learning applications in biologics research and development.

Biologics LIMS is ideal for growing biotechs focused on antibody discovery, offering tools that support real-time collaboration across scientific and cross-functional teams, seamless integration of data across experiments, and rapid surfacing of critical insights to support hit selection and next-step decisions.

Sample and Plate Management

• Link samples and plates directly to assays and downstream data
• Manage metadata across screening, characterization, and storage stages
• Explore relationships across molecules, sequences, and sample history to reduce turnaround time and manual errors

Antibody Screening and Characterization

• Record and analyze results from affinity, functional, and competitive assays
• Apply consistent data structuring to support automation and querying
• Use built-in and external tools to visualize performance trends and identify top hits
• Deliver more structured, reproducible data across screening rounds

Bioregistry

• Register key biological entities including antibodies, antigens, vectors, and cell lines
• Define inter-entity relationships and preserve data integrity
• Trace every entity back to its origin and linked assay data
• Simplify handoffs and maintain scientific context across the discovery pipeline

Electronic Lab Notebook (ELN)

• Link ELN entries to related samples, assays, and bioregistry entities
• Reduce documentation overhead with prebuilt templates and structured entry options
• Support internal collaboration and sign-off workflows for regulatory alignment
• Enhance transparency and reproducibility with centralized experiment documentation
