What it is

Sapio Sciences combines a LIMS, electronic lab notebook, and Scientific Data Cloud in a research lab platform. It is designed for laboratories of all sizes working across areas such as PCR, genomics, proteomics, protein engineering, medicinal chemistry, and sequencing. No-code workflow builders let teams configure, chain, automate, and track processes across instruments. Sapio Elain provides a prompt-based assistant for searching, planning and designing experiments, building and executing them, analyzing data, and optimizing workflows. The platform can bring in instrument data without code and includes charting, visualization, and science-aware search. Research LIMS, ELN, and Scientific Data Cloud are cloud-based and accessed through a modern browser; Sapio LIMS also has cloud or on-premise deployment options. Instrument connections can use a Rules Engine, File Bridge, or RESTful API. Scientific Data Cloud supports more than 200 instruments through file sweep and has an API for additional instruments. Sapio lists SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 credentials and says its LIMS is ready for GLP, GCP, and GMP compliance. The free Academic Bronze plan is free and requires an email associated with an academic institution; non-academic users must request more details.
