Workflow Wizards

GeNovu Workflow Wizards is a visual experiment design solution built for life sciences laboratories that want to unlock the full potential of their automation without requiring programming expertise. Designed for scientists across DMPK, immunogenicity, flow cytometry, genomics, toxicology, and more, Workflow Wizards enable any team member to configure and run complex assays through intuitive web interfaces—reducing assay development time from weeks to hours and expanding automation access across the entire lab.

Traditional laboratory automation creates a bottleneck: only one or two specialists know how to program liquid handlers, leaving expensive instruments underutilized and new methods stuck in a development queue for weeks. GeNovu addresses this by separating experiment design from automation programming entirely, so scientists focus on science while the platform handles execution.

How Workflow Wizards Work

1. Design Your Experiment: Use visual forms, drag-and-drop plate map builders, and intuitive configuration tools to paint plate layouts, set volumes, define dilution schemes, and specify assay conditions—no coding required.
2. Execute on Automation: Your experiment design is saved to a database. Operators walk to the instrument, select the experiment, and run it. Visual loading instructions guide deck setup, eliminating guesswork and reducing errors.
3. Analyze Results: Results flow back automatically to the integrated LIMS. Statistical analysis, condition rankings, and AI-powered insights are all available within the same platform where the experiment was designed.

GeNovu Workflow Wizards are delivered as part of the broader GeNovu platform, which also includes integrated LIMS for sample tracking and compliance, AI Intelligence for PhD-level analysis, and LabVision for real-time monitoring. Custom wizards can be developed for laboratories with unique or specialized workflows not covered by the standard library.
