Sapio Sciences (Exemplar LIMS)

Sapio LIMS (marketed as part of the Sapio Sciences platform) is a configurable, no-code laboratory information management system designed for scientists and lab operations teams rather than software engineers. It sits on a single, unified platform that combines LIMS, an electronic lab notebook (ELN), and a Scientific Data Cloud (SDMS), and layers science-aware capabilities — a knowledge graph and integrated AI — on top of core informatics. The product emphasizes radical configurability, end-to-end workflow automation, and enterprise-scale data unification so labs can adopt new instruments, protocols, and analysis methods without disruptive reengineering. At its core the LIMS provides the typical sample- and material-management backbone — sample lifecycle tracking, inventory and materials control, order-to-report orchestration, and strict traceability for regulated work. Where Sapio differentiates is in the tooling around that backbone: graphical workflow designers, natural-language rule engines, reusable templates, and a no-code ELN that lets scientists create and reuse experiments, searches and protocols quickly. An AI assistant (ELaiN) and natural language interfaces let users spin up experiments or searches via chat, and the platform’s science-aware knowledge graph contextualizes entities (samples, assays, instruments, reagents) to speed discovery and reduce repetitive work. The platform is built to support a wide range of life-science use cases. Typical deployments include discovery labs (small molecule and biologics screening), NGS and genomics workflows, cell and gene therapy processes, high-throughput diagnostics, CDMO/CRO operations, and GMP/QC manufacturing. For example, an NGS team can configure complex sequencing pipelines and instrument handoffs without coding; a cell and gene CDMO can map GMP batch records, QC test chains and stability studies into auditable, repeatable workflows; and a clinical diagnostics lab can automate physician order intake, sample routing, and report generation with end-to-end logging. Sapio also advertises pre-built domain templates and scientific tools for CRISPR design, plasmid/vector modification, flow cytometry analysis and other applied assays, enabling faster ramp-up in specialized labs. Integration and data management are central to the value proposition. Sapio’s Scientific Data Cloud (SDMS) unifies instrument outputs, ELN records and other experimental data into a single accessible store so data can be searched and analyzed across projects and teams. The platform supports instrument connectivity through APIs and webhooks, and it provides ways to expose and extend functionality programmatically — including auto-generation of Python configuration code from graphical designers. Enterprise features include role-based access, audit trails, versioning, and compliance-oriented controls targeted at regulated environments (GMP, GLP, diagnostic labs). Multi-language support and templated solutions aim to accelerate adoption across global teams. Practically, Sapio LIMS is positioned for organizations that want to replace piecemeal lab systems with a single, extensible informatics stack that scientists can configure themselves. Implementation usually combines Sapio’s customer-centered services and templates with in‑platform no-code configuration: workflow tailoring, UI adjustments, rule authoring and instrument integrations. The result is a laboratory backbone that reduces manual handoffs, enforces data capture and QC policies, and surfaces relevant data to the right users at the right time — all while enabling iterative changes as science evolves. For teams seeking an LIMS that integrates ELN workflows, a searchable scientific data layer and embedded AI assistants, Sapio provides a platform designed to scale from discovery through manufacturing and clinical diagnostics.
