Assay data and dashboards

From the instrument to the board pack, without retyping.

Most labs already have the data. It is just spread across instrument PCs, shared drives and spreadsheets. We collect it as it is written, join it to your samples and plate maps, and build dashboards and reports your scientists, investors and funders can all read from one source.

// what matters here

What is different in this industry.

Collected as it is written

Files picked up from each instrument automatically, with nothing copied by hand.

Joined to your samples

Every result tied to its plate map, sample and experiment.

One source for every report

Lab dashboards, board packs and grant reports drawn from the same records.

Run for you

We host and look after the pipeline, with monitoring, backups and alerts.

// example projects

Priced examples for this service.

Each one is hypothetical, labelled as such, and priced live from our rate card. Open any of them in the estimator and make it yours.

Instrument data pipeline and assay dashboards

Hypothetical. Not a client, not a result.

// The problem

A screening lab's plate readers and analysers write files to a shared drive, and a scientist copies the numbers into a spreadsheet before anyone can see a dose response curve.

// What we would build

Instrument files picked up as they are written, stored in managed cloud storage, parsed into one database with the plate map and the sample IDs, and shown as assay dashboards your team and your board can read. We run the pipeline for you, with monitoring and backups.

// What is in it

Files collected from each instrument as they are written, with nothing copied by hand
Parsers for each instrument's export format, checked against your own past runs
Plate maps and sample IDs joined to every result
Assay dashboards with curves, controls and run history
A board and grant pack drawn from the same data each quarter
Managed hosting with monitoring, backups and alerts

Shared record of sample custody

Hypothetical. Not a client, not a result.

// The problem

A biotech, two contract labs and a university partner pass samples and results between them, and each keeps its own record of what was sent, received and released, which never quite match.

// What we would build

A shared web app where each organisation records samples sent, received and released, with every hand-off written to a private permissioned ledger that each partner runs a node of. A shared database run by one partner, or signed PDFs, often do this job; the ledger helps when several organisations need one record that no single party controls.

// What is in it

Shipments and receipts recorded by both sides
Each hand-off written to a private ledger with a node per organisation
Result releases recorded, with the files kept off the ledger
Each partner sees only the samples it is part of
A plain read-out of the record any partner can download

// questions

Questions we get about this.

Can you read the export files from our older plate readers?

Almost always. We write a parser for each format and check it against your own past runs before we switch.

Can investors see assay progress without seeing raw data?

Yes. A board view shows the figures you choose, with raw data kept to your team.

Does the instrument pipeline need a person to babysit it?

No. It runs on its own, and alerts us and your team when an instrument stops sending files.
