Sapio – Platform

Innovation of the Year
for a product or service

Today's laboratories are hindered by outdated technology that is inflexible, difficult to implement, cumbersome to use, and fragmented workflows, data, and user experiences across teams. The Sapio Platform is the first science-aware lab informatics solution that unifies Electronic Lab Notebook (ELN), Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS), and Scientific Data Management System (SDMS) into a single, AI-native environment. Purpose-built for scientists, the platform enables more efficient, compliant, and data-driven operations across biopharma research, clinical diagnostics, and manufacturing workflows.

The low-code/no-code configuration allows lab teams to quickly design and adapt complex workflows without IT support, reducing friction in implementation while preserving scientific rigor. Data is captured, contextualized, and made available for real-time collaboration, decision-making, and regulatory reporting—all within a unified system.

Sapio’s shared data model connects all aspects of laboratory operations, ensuring consistency and traceability across teams, experiments, and facilities. With embedded AI and science-specific tools, the platform meets the needs of modern labs working across modalities and disciplines.

Real-World Applications:

Research & Development (R&D)

• Research Lab Management: The Sapio Platform supports scientists across genomics, proteomics, protein engineering, medicinal chemistry, and more. It enables rapid configuration and automation of complex workflows across diverse instruments and software. Researchers benefit from integrated analytics and can search, visualize, and interpret large datasets without writing code.
• Biologics research: An extensive suite of molecular biology design tools is integrated directly into the ELN.
• Chemistry Lab Management: Sapio’s ELN and LIMS combine chemistry-aware tools with workflow automation and collaboration. Researchers can use pre-built synthesis templates, clone and reuse prior data, and manage inventory in real time to ensure alignment across teams.
• Multimodal Entity Registration: Sapio provides a unified registration system for peptides, small molecules, natural and chemically modified biologics, antibodies, and conjugates. It automatically tracks lineage and links samples to generated data, ensuring traceability and integrity across discovery workflows.

Clinical Diagnostics Applications

* Clinical Lab Management: Clinical labs use Sapio for end-to-end automation of diagnostic workflows. The platform integrates clinical and molecular data with operations, supporting everything from test orders to secure result delivery. Portal access improves efficiency, compliance, and patient service.

* Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS): Sapio simplifies NGS pipeline orchestration for transcriptomics, metagenomics, and epigenomics. It tracks samples through aliquoting, QC, and processing; integrates with leading instruments; and supports no-code workflow updates for rapid iteration.

Analytical and Testing Applications

• Bioanalysis: Sapio manages data capture and workflows for small- and large-molecule studies. It supports study design, validation, traceability, and regulatory documentation—all within a single system.
• Stability Testing: The platform supports complex global stability programs by tracking samples, storage, intervals, and test results. Integrated instrument data is displayed in a single view for easier review and reporting.
• Flow Cytometry Analysis: Sapio ELN offers built-in tools to manage and analyze flow cytometry data. Machine learning accelerates gating, while scientists can visualize, compare, and export results in the same workspace.

Lab Operations & Management

• Sample Management: Sapio automates sample reception, registration, tracking, and inventory. It supports diverse material types and offers full traceability from receipt to disposal, including lineage and expiry monitoring.
• Laboratory Data Management: Sapio SDMS unifies instrument outputs, experiment data, and documentation into a searchable scientific data environment—ready for reporting or AI without manual formatting.
• GxP Validation: For regulated labs, Sapio provides configurable workflows with audit trails, versioning, electronic signatures, and role-based access to support compliance and maintain data integrity.

Within the last twelve months, Sapio has announced adoption by companies including LabConnect, Schrodinger, evitria, Waters Corporation, and the Ellison Institute of Technology Los Angeles Accelerates Cancer Research, transforming workflows, progress, and efficiency.

At SapioCon, Sapio Sciences’ annual user conference in February 2025, customers shared the progress they had made in their digital transformation journeys within the last year enabled by the Sapio platform, including AstraZeneca and Olink Proteomics.

Summary

The Sapio Platform delivers a complete lab informatics solution that meets the diverse needs of today’s scientific labs. Its unified architecture, science-aware design, and integrated AI assistant enable researchers to work more efficiently, collaborate across disciplines, and maintain high standards for data quality and compliance.
