Request

Request is an assay request tracking software developed by Scigilian, purpose-built for life science organizations seeking to streamline the management of compound testing across complex, multi-partner workflows. It enables scientists and research teams to plan, submit, and track assay requests without needing to understand the underlying logistics, while giving operations teams full visibility into the status of work being performed by internal labs, external partners, and CROs distributed globally.

Request is specifically designed for organizations that struggle with over-consumption of compounds due to unnecessary re-sending or re-assaying, delays in disseminating assay results, time lost responding to status queries, and the challenge of aggregating information from multiple sources to get an accurate picture of compound progress through the workflow.

Core Capabilities

• Quickly determine which assays a compound has been tested in, including where and when testing occurred, to plan further testing efficiently.
• Enable scientists to request compound testing in project-specific assay cascades without needing to know the logistics, including source, form, amount, concentration, labware, layout, or routing details.
• Automatically determine whether sufficient compound inventory is available to run an assay, and if not, identify alternatives to minimize cycle time.
• Manually or automatically delegate work to the optimal internal or external research partners based on capabilities and sample inventory availability.
• Monitor the pipeline of work being performed by research partners to identify opportunities for improving cycle time and resource utilization.

Key Features

• Assay Tracking: Efficiently manage complex collaborative assay cascade workflows spanning internal labs, partners, and CROs across the globe.
• Sample Tracking: See what samples have been tested at a particular provider to avoid re-testing and resource waste.
• Verified Requirements: Define and check the feasibility and availability of stock to accurately prepare assay plates.
• Consolidation: Manage frequently performed assays centrally by pooling together requests for the same assay.
• Duplicate Checking: Monitor if and when the same compound and assay combination was last requested, reducing duplicated effort.
• Efficiency and Accuracy: Select, aggregate, and prioritize assay requests from multiple researchers while avoiding submission errors or personnel bottlenecks.
• Real-Time Notifications: Notify team members of new requests, tasks, and status changes in real time, regardless of their location.

Business Benefits

• Expedite discovery efforts by obtaining biological activity results quickly and accurately, supporting faster and better-informed decision-making.
• Reduce compound over-consumption caused by unnecessary re-synthesis, re-sending, or incorrect quantities being dispatched.
• Eliminate delays caused by manual processes or erroneous submissions that increase assay cycle time.
• Prevent requests from being missed or falling through the cracks by maintaining a centralized, real-time view of all active requests and approvals.
• Optimize operations and reduce costs by intelligently allocating work and identifying workflow improvements across internal and external research partners.

Request is offered by Scigilian as part of a broader platform designed to automate lab workflows and improve operational efficiency. It supports organizations looking to adapt to new methods and process changes while maintaining complete oversight of queued samples and their status across the entire research pipeline.
