Sapio Jarvis

A scientific data management system, or SDMS, is a tool used to store and organize documentation and data from a diverse range of laboratory instruments. Its core functions include capturing, cataloguing, and archiving data for future reference. While these tools provide utility in their ability to gather disparate data in a common location, they are not optimized to address modern science’s data dilemma for a number of reasons.

First, an SDMS is by nature a passive tool. The relationship between the SDMS is largely unidirectional as opposed to bidirectional, making it difficult for scientists to both access their data and add to their data simultaneously. In addition, the SDMS is inherently separate from other lab informatics solutions, like LIMS and ELNs. In this way, it represents another silo—albeit one that is wholly focused on data. In addition, an SDMS tends to focus on the logistical aspects of data management rather than the scientific ones.

By contrast, Sapio Jarvis is a Science-aware™ data integration tool that goes beyond passive data repositories with a living knowledge graph that is made for modern science. With Science-aware™ search, built-in scientific analysis, and a tightly integrated relationship to scientific objects throughout the rest of the laboratory workflow, Sapio Jarvis is the only solution to solve the data challenge at the heart of modern science—and do so without any need for code.

Since Sapio Jarvis is built-in to the Sapio Lab Informatics Platform, scientists do not need to depart from their core workflow in order to access, utilize, and analyze their data. Jumping between systems takes time and detracts from scientific progress. In addition to the obvious efficiency benefit, having built-in data integration capabilities actually benefits the science itself. The scientific data that resides in Jarvis is contextually related to specimens, samples, and other scientific objects, which are instantly updated across a laboratory’s many experiments and workflows. That means scientists have access to better and more usable information that can be readily used to form more meaningful conclusions and insights. Robust science-aware™ analytics are built in too—allowing scientists to perform highly sophisticated calculations in seconds, all within their electronic lab notebook.

The need for a business intelligence tool, which involves importing data—often from multiple sources—and running analytics against it, is naturally satisfied by Jarvis. In addition to allowing scientists to stop importing disparate data and outsourcing analytics to an outside tool, Jarvis actually delivers more intelligence that is made for scientific needs. Many BI tools on the market are vertical-agnostic and fail to satisfy specific scientific use cases. Jarvis is equipped with built-in scientific calculations and visualizations, including flow analytics for high throughput applications.

If you’re using other ELN and LIMS solutions across your organization, you are like the vast majority of pharmaceutical organizations. Just as Jarvis can harmonize data across instruments, it can also harmonize data against other lab informatics systems. Jarvis enables organizations using several ELNs and LIMS to enjoy many of the benefits of standardization, even though standard systems are not used for core lab informatics functions.

At the same time, when used with the entirety of the Sapio Platform, Jarvis is nothing short of magical. Clients who have opted to embrace Sapio LIMS and Sapio ELN with Jarvis have seen truly transformative results.

Please do. The addition of new instruments is a welcome and exciting aspect of modern science. In addition to the 200+ instruments Sapio Jarvis supported via file sweep, our flexible API makes it easy to integrate with others. Whether you’re integrating via file sweep or API, you will enjoy the same standardized, searchable, contextualized instrument data at scale.

Your data is your laboratory’s important asset, and the partner you entrust is arguably even more important than the platform. We are proud to serve some of the world’s largest and fastest growing pharma and biotech companies and believe that our lab informatics platform is the best available anywhere.

In addition, our platform employs a secure, state-of-the-art architecture that protects our clients’ sensitive scientific data. We are SOC 2 certified, and take our commitment to best-in-class cybersecurity practices seriously.

Beyond great technology, we work as a dedicated partner to our clients and are humbled to support them in their novel and important scientific work. Visit our company page to learn more about The Sapio Seven—seven principles that are foundational to our mission and products.
