Harmonious instrument integration

Struggling to make your instrument and system data live in harmony? Automate data collection from 200+ instruments supported via file sweep or seamlessly integrate with new instruments through a flexible API. Seamlessly sync with project, experiment, entity, and sample data from your Lab Information Management System and ELN software. And automatically parse, process, and send data to your experiments and workflows using natural language rules.  

fully contextualized data

Fully contextualized infrastructure integration   

Without context, laboratory data lacks the meaning and utility needed to make a real difference in the scientific process. Supercharge your lab’s productivity and strengthen your discovery by instantly and automatically associating your data with a full range of scientific design entities in your lab informatics platform, including samples and specimens, at scale.  

granular searchability

System integration for no-code granular searchability

Export, import, analyze, repeat. Sound familiar? Put an end to the inefficient pattern once and for all with no-code searchability. Find and retrieve data across multiple sources at will with a built-in graphical query builder. Account for scientific variables like molecular substructure and similarity with search that is science-aware™, just like you. 

truly scientific analysis

Truly integrated scientific analysis

We believe scientific data should be analyzed in a scientific way and without friction for the scientific user. Create and view dashboards, chart instrument data, and render interactive scientific objects from right where you are. Apply bioinformatics and cheminformatics methods, including integrated flow cytometry gating and curve fitting. Embrace AI-powered discovery with Jarvis’s advanced neural networks.
