Real-World Benefits Experienced by Scispot Clients
- Time Efficiency: A biotechnology company utilized Agents to automate data capture from their Bio-Rad CFX96 Touch™ Real-Time PCR Detection System, dramatically reducing the time between experiment completion and data analysis.
- Data Accuracy: A pharmaceutical lab integrated Agents with their Agilent 1260 Infinity II LC system, enhancing the precision of data capture and significantly reducing human error.
- Operational Streamlining: A research institute used Agents to manage data flow from Thermo Fisher Scientific's KingFisher™ Flex, automating the process and freeing up researchers to focus on critical analysis and experimentation.
Challenges with Traditional Lab Data Management Approaches
In larger facilities, specialized teams like IT and software engineering might manage data integration, but this simply shifts the burden from scientists to engineers, often complicating the process. They typically face challenges in setting up and maintaining these systems using basic cloud infrastructure services such as AWS.
The Current Approach:
Procure basic infrastructure and tackle complex construction, integration, and maintenance. This infrastructure is often rudimentary and fails to align with the dynamic needs of scientific teams, often resulting in data that:
- Lacks important contextual metadata.
- Is stored in incompatible raw formats.
- Is at best, kept in semi-structured formats within an lab data management software.
A Streamlined Solution with Scispot’s Agents
Imagine a system where data from on-premise instruments automatically transfers to the cloud in a structured, accessible format. Scispot’s Agents offer this streamlined approach to lab automation.
Agents as Software Connectors:
- Continuously capture data with minimal input from scientists.
- Seamlessly integrate into existing lab workflows, ruflanning in the background without creating extra tasks.
- Are capable of being remotely updated through cloud-managed logic.

Top Benefits and Features of Using Scispot Agents
- Quick Setup with Configuration Templates: Agents are pre-configured for immediate use with common lab instruments like mass spectrometers, PCR machines, and centrifuges, simplifying the integration process.
- Flexible Customization Options: Customize Agent code to fit unique experimental setups. For example, a lab studying genomic sequences might customize Agents to handle large data sets from Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) platforms efficiently.
- Efficient Use of Developers’ Time: Changes to Agents are automatically compiled into executables, drastically reducing the manual effort required from software developers.
- Install Once, Use Forever: Once installed, Agents automatically receive and implement updates across all connections, ensuring that instrument software changes do not disrupt ongoing experiments.
- Remote Monitoring of Connections: A centralized dashboard enables real-time monitoring of all instrument-cloud connections, making it easy to identify and rectify any data transfer issues promptly.
Bridging On-Prem Data Generation with Cloud-Native Data Storage
The shift in lab data management from simple data collection to strategic, efficient data handling is a cornerstone of modern laboratory operations. Scispot’s Agents not only automate the data transfer process but also enhance data utility, streamline workflows, and reduce bottlenecks, thus paving the way for advanced analysis and utilization of scientific data through lab automation software.
