LIMS

Sapio LIMS is a highly configurable, no-code Laboratory Information Management System developed by Sapio Sciences for research, clinical diagnostics, and manufacturing environments. Designed to serve the full spectrum of life sciences — from biopharma R&D and NGS genomics to histopathology, bioanalytics, and GMP manufacturing — it provides end-to-end lab workflow management from test order to final report. The platform is built to fit each organisation's unique workflows, locations, and data structures without requiring custom programming, making it accessible to scientists and lab operations teams alike.

Sapio LIMS is part of the broader Sapio Platform, which unifies LIMS, electronic lab notebook (ELN), and a Scientific Data Cloud (SDMS) in a single interface. This eliminates the need for multiple logins, manual data exports, and fragmented integrations, delivering a truly unified lab informatics experience with built-in AI, no-code configurability, and deep instrument connectivity.

Core Platform Capabilities

• No/low-code configuration: A drag-and-drop workflow builder, English sentence rules engine, and configurable user interface allow scientists to adapt laboratory processes on the fly without writing code.
• Sample management: Comprehensive tracking of each sample's full lifecycle, including identifiers and barcodes, storage location, expiration dates, related projects, assay results, and processing pipelines, ensuring complete traceability.
• Workflow automation: Supports automatic plate setup with replicates, QC standards, instrument control instructions passed to robotics, automated result ingestion into structured records, and automatic queuing of samples for reprocessing based on results assessment.
• Inventory and materials management: Detailed tracking of reagents and lab materials, including quantities on hand, lot numbers, expiration dates, reorder levels, and full records of where each material lot was used across workflows and samples.
• Reporting and analytics: Built-in charting, dashboards, and ad-hoc search capabilities provide real-time insights into lab operations, enabling data-driven decisions by lab management and scientists.
• Chain of custody and sample lineage: Full traceability across all scientific data types — samples, reagents, containers, and documents — tracked in real time.
• AI Scientific Assistant – ELaiN: An AI-powered chat assistant embedded in the platform that allows scientists to query data, set up experiments, analyse results instantly, receive product support, and generate custom configuration code in seconds.
• Instrument integration: A large portfolio of pre-integrated instruments enables seamless connectivity with lab automation and analytical equipment.
• Physician Portal: A pre-built order portal supporting accessioning, order processing, and patient reporting for clinical diagnostics environments.
• GxP, GLP, GCP, and GMP compliance: Built-in compliance tools support regulatory requirements across research and manufacturing settings.
