Sapio ELN is an agentic, AI\u2013powered notebook where scientists collaborate directly with an AI co-scientist<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

BALTIMORE, MD, September 16, 2025 \u2014 Sapio Sciences<\/a>, the AI lab informatics company<\/a>, today announced the launch of the world\u2019s first 3rd-generation Electronic Lab Notebook (ELN) that thinks like a scientist, Sapio ELN<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the first 3rd generation ELN, Sapio ELN accelerates biopharma R&D by moving beyond passive record-keeping to become an active participant in research. Sapio ELN incorporates Sapio Elain<\/a> to leverage agentic and generative AI to work as a co-scientist that helps plan, design, and analyze experiments while maintaining scientific rigor and compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kevin Cramer, CEO & CTO, Sapio Sciences, commented: \u201cAlmost one year ago, I predicted that <\/em>AI would eat the ELN<\/em><\/a>, with the inclusion of Sapio Elain in our 3rd generation ELN, traditional ELNs are now a thing of the past.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cramer continued: \u201cInstead of merely recording and storing data, Sapio Elainu as a new kind of agentic AI scientific collaborator, guiding scientists at every step. It understands context, helps plan and design experiments, and analyzes results, always ensuring work is documented, repeatable, and compliant. Sapio ELaiN is not only an expert scientific collaborator, it\u2019s a new notebook experience that makes it simple to use.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

3rd-Generation ELNs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For nearly two decades, ELNs have been limited to recording and documenting research, with some tools recently evolving to model and analyze data. These traditional ELNs remain difficult to use, rigid, and leave most of the burden on scientists. Sapio\u2019s new ELN changes that. It supports scientists at every step, from simple requests such as accessing and searching data to complex tasks like designing and building experiments from a existing protocols or analyzing results with embedded scientific methods. It even goes further to invoke powerful scientific processes to accelerate therapeutic pipelines and decision making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sapio Elain is not an add-on. It is an AI-native platform that is scientifically fluent across R&D domains such as cheminformatics, bioinformatics, and structure-based design. With an expanding ecosystem of tools and agents, Sapio Elain captures every action with full provenance, ensuring decisions are explainable, repeatable, and compliant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI-Powered Capabilities<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Sapio Elain brings advanced AI agents directly into the lab notebook, giving scientists access to sophisticated capabilities without leaving their workflow. At launch, these include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
