Sapio Sciences, the science-aware lab informatics platform, has entered a co-marketing agreement with Waters Corp. to help enhance data integrity, workflow efficiency, and lab productivity.
 
As laboratory-based organizations expand and handle increasing numbers of samples, integrating liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS) software with a Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) can enable lab operations to be more efficient. This can include streamlining workflows, reducing data silos, enhancing compliance with regulatory standards, and eliminating manual data entry and transcription errors.
 
The advanced data processing and review capabilities of waters_connect software, when combined with Sapio LIMS, aims to facilitate workflow efficiencies, enabling labs to handle larger volumes of samples with greater speed and precision. This connectivity aims to streamline operations as well as enhance collaboration among lab personnel by providing a unified solution for improved data sharing and analysis.
 
By establishing a file bridge, a secure connection is created between Sapio LIMS and a secure file system. Once connected, software administrators can automate processes like file monitoring for instrument data, thereby enhancing efficiency and ensuring data integrity.
 
The configuration of the interface is flexible to allow for unidirectional or bidirectional flow of information.
 
Unidirectional: Send results from waters_connect for Quantitation to Sapio LIMS

Bidirectional: Sapio LIMS-generated sample batches are imported into waters_connect for Quantitation for analysis of the samples; the results are sent back to Sapio LIMS.
