By bridging the gap between bench scientists and computational biologists, Scispot provides a connected platform solution that enhances workflows, ensures data integrity, and maximizes the efficiency of your lab’s operations.

Let’s explore how Scispot can help laboratories overcome their biggest obstacles and accelerate innovation.

‍

Relieve Your Team from the Burden of Manual Lab Work

Manual lab workflows—such as copying data, correcting errors, or repeating experiments due to poor data management—are among the most costly inefficiencies in biotech. These processes waste valuable time, slow progress, and significantly increase the likelihood of errors that hinder scientific breakthroughs.

Scispot’s Solution: Scispot automates data capture and processing at every step. Scientists can design experiments, collect data directly from instruments, and seamlessly transform it into analysis-ready formats—all within the platform. By reducing manual input, Scispot eliminates bottlenecks and improves reproducibility, saving time and resources.

Proven Impact: Labs using Scispot report save hundreds of hours annually by automating routine data entry and analysis. For example, instead of spending weeks consolidating experimental results for critical decisions, Scispot enables teams to achieve the same results within hours—without sacrificing accuracy.

Standardize Data Before Scaling

Inconsistent protocols and data models lead to variability in results, compromising reproducibility and delaying key decisions. Scaling operations demands consistency and reliability in standard operating procedures (SOPs) and data management workflows.

Scispot’s Solution: Scispot provides no-code configuration tools that enable teams to create standardized data collection, transformation, and analysis templates. This ensures that all experiments follow the same methodology, reducing variability and enhancing reproducibility.

The platform integrates seamlessly with instruments and software, supporting compliance with FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) data standards.

Proven Impact: One Scispot customer successfully scaled their operations from managing dozens of experiments per month to over 100 without adding extra staff. They significantly improved accuracy and scalability by standardizing their data model and automating data extraction from instruments.

Bridging the Gap Between Bench and Computational Teams

The divide between wet lab scientists and dry lab teams is one of the most persistent challenges in the biotech industry. Bench scientists often prioritize flexibility, while computational biologists require structured and consistent data for advanced analyses. This disconnect can lead to mistrust, wasted effort, and delayed progress.

Scispot’s Solution: Scispot serves as a bridge, enabling bench scientists to generate clean, structured data without needing coding expertise. This provides computational teams with standardized data that is ready for deeper analysis. With its API-first design, Scispot ensures seamless integration into existing data pipelines, promoting team collaboration and trust.

Proven Impact: Scispot reduced data reconciliation time by 50% for one lab, allowing both bench and computational teams to focus on high-value tasks. This improved collaboration, expedited decision-making and established a stronger foundation for discovery.

Make Data AI-Ready

AI is revolutionizing biotech but relies on clean, structured data to deliver meaningful insights. Labs with fragmented systems or unstructured files often find AI initiatives failing before they even begin.

Scispot’s Solution: Scispot prepares your lab for AI by centralizing data in a FAIR-compliant system. Features like version control, automated metadata annotations, and direct instrument integration ensure data is clean, consistent, and ready for advanced analysis.

Proven Impact: Labs using Scispot for AI projects cut data preparation time by 30–40%. This freed resources for applying AI to tasks such as drug candidate selection and assay optimization, unlocking new levels of productivity.

Avoid Over-Automation Pitfalls in Your Lab

While automation can help eliminate repetitive tasks, relying too heavily on it can create blind spots. Biological systems are inherently variable, and automation alone may not address unpredictable changes in reagents, instruments, or sample behavior.

Scispot’s Solution: Scispot combines automation with robust quality control checkpoints. This allows scientists to automate routine workflows while maintaining the flexibility to investigate anomalies or document edge cases. Comprehensive data tracking ensures a transparent audit trail, striking a balance between efficiency and oversight.

Proven Impact: A leading diagnostics lab caught a rare anomaly during automated processing using Scispot. Early detection prevented weeks of troubleshooting downstream and saved significant time and resources.

Separate Data From Documents

Mixing experimental data with documents like protocols or reports often leads to confusion, errors, and inefficiencies. Labs need clear data storage and document management boundaries to maintain integrity and accessibility.

Scispot’s Solution: Scispot stores raw experimental data in structured formats with built-in version control. Documents like protocols or summaries are linked but kept separate in systems like Google Drive or SharePoint.

Proven Impact: Scispot customers reduced errors during regulatory audits and streamlined reporting workflows. Preparation times for compliance and reporting tasks were cut by 40%, ensuring smooth operations.

‍

Empower Bench Scientists with Intuitive Tools

Bench scientists often depend on computational teams for routine analyses, creating bottlenecks. However, they could handle these tasks independently with better tools, freeing computational teams for more complex challenges.

Scispot’s Solution: Scispot provides an intuitive interface with built-in analytics, enabling bench scientists to perform routine analyses without learning coding languages like Python or R. The platform also ensures data is formatted for advanced computational workflows.

Proven Impact: Bench scientists using Scispot report completing analyses three times faster. This allows them to focus on research while computational teams tackle higher-order problems, fostering efficiency and collaboration.
