From one workflow to full digital scale

Labs rarely stay simple. One assay becomes many. Linear steps branch and loop. Scispot helps you grow without losing control. It centralizes your data, ties every step to a source, and keeps work compliant while teams move fast.

Scispot feels like a lab operating system. It blends ELN and LIMS with execution rails and quality guardrails. You plan, run, and review in one place. You stop stitching truth together from files, chats, and spreadsheets.

Why scale breaks old habits

Early on, a single protocol and a shared sheet can work. Growth breaks that model. New assays appear. Runs fail and rerun. Samples hop containers and rooms. Audits arrive sooner than expected. You need a system that tracks every move and still feels simple. That is the gap Scispot fills.

The Scispot platform in practice

Scispot Labspaces hold protocols and experiments with version history. Scispot Labsheets manage samples, chips, containers, and results with a strict structure. Scispot Labflows guides people step by step and adapts when reality changes. A copilot (Scispot) finds runs, lineage, and context without digging.

Everything is logged. Scispot records who did what, when, and where. A live chain of custody follows each item. A knowledge graph links samples, plates, protocols, instruments, and reports. Audits become a search, not a scavenger hunt.

From single path to many programs

Start simple. Grow complex. Labflows support branches, reruns, and decision points. If QC fails, the flow can route back, fork, or request a supervisor check. R&D stays flexible. Production stays locked. Templates improve as you learn, not once a year.

‍

Real-time tracking for samples and kits

Traceability is granular. Location changes are recorded the moment they happen. Container hopping is captured with context. You see the full history and the live status for any item or batch in one view. Operators know where things are. Scientists know what happened. Leaders see trend lines.

‍

Analytics for every skill level

Quick insights are one click away. Tables become charts and summaries without code. Power users go deeper with notebooks and an API-first backend. Data pushes to your lake by schedule or event. BI tools connect cleanly when you want them. Everyone gets the view they need at their level.

‍

Instruments, automation, and robotics

Scispot meets instruments where they are. Standards-based devices connect through a universal agent. REST feeds and flat files are first-class. Advanced handlers and robots integrate cleanly. The goal is simple: data lands in the right table with the right metadata; technicians follow a clear flow; engineers get a reliable pipe.
‍

‍

Flexible protocols with human-in-the-loop

Protocols are easy to import, edit, and promote. You can generate drafts with AI grounded in trusted sources. Manual entry is supported when automation is not practical. Integration is seamless when it is. Deviations are recorded at the step level. E-signatures keep control where it matters.

Conditional QC and smart routing

QC logic lives inside the workflow. Thresholds block progress until checks pass. Failures trigger prompts, reruns, or alternate steps. People stay on rails without boxing science in. Momentum holds while quality stays high.

Intake, privacy, and reporting

Orders arrive through a portal or by API. De-identified flows are supported when policy requires it. Medical and billing codes can be captured at intake and tied to results. Reports include signatures and context and are delivered automatically to external systems. Everything remains audit-ready.
‍

‍

Partner data and heavy outputs

Many labs depend on external results. Scispot ingests vendor PDFs and spreadsheets. Tuned extractors map values into your model and link them to the right samples and runs. HPLC and GC outputs that used to take hours become minutes. You remove transcription. You avoid errors. You speed reporting without shortcuts.

Capacity, training, and readiness

A simple schedule shows who is doing what and when. Due dates roll up. Over-capacity warnings appear early. Training gates ensure only qualified users perform and sign. Managers get signal, not noise. Planning becomes proactive.

Security, sovereignty, and ownership

Access is role-based and audited. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Backups run on a tight cadence. Regional residency is supported. You own your data. Bulk export is always available. A second copy can live in your cloud by default.
‍

‍

Commercials in plain language

Scispot Pricing is user-based with volume benefits. Integrations and automation modules are added when you need them. A scoped pilot proves value first. Compute isn’t micromanaged under normal use. If patterns are unusual, the team tunes the setup rather than surprises you later.

Implementation corner

Start with proof, not promises. Month one focuses on a clean data model, one high-value flow, and one live instrument feed. Month two expands sheets, adds QC logic, and opens basic analytics. Month three locks validated steps, promotes reports, and syncs to your lake. Bulk uploads, AI-guided mapping, and watchers reduce busywork. Lineage stays intact from day one.

Decision desk

Can you move from one workflow to many without a rebuild? Yes. You extend templates and logic instead of starting over.

Will non-technical users get value on day one? Yes. They can run flows, enter data, and see instant summaries. Power users wire APIs behind the scenes.

What happens when a user makes a mistake? Every action is logged. Authorized users can revert to a prior state. The trail remains intact.

Will you outgrow it when volumes spike? No. Auto-scaling handles peaks. Heavy read/write patterns are normal. Extreme API loads are tuned with batching and cache layers.

‍

A day in the life

Morning intake starts with a portal drop and a bulk file. Labels print. Samples scan in. The system assigns tests and due dates. A chip batch hops containers and updates live. An instrument watcher sees a new file. A transformation script runs. A reviewer approves. Results hit the master table and the lake. A QC rule blocks one sample and opens a rework loop. The technician reruns a step and clears the check. An external PDF arrives. The extractor maps values and links the report. Notifications go out. By close, signed reports are delivered, backups run, and a second copy lands in your cloud.

‍

How this advances the self-driving lab

Self-driving labs are not magic. They are rails plus judgment. Scispot lays the rails. Lab Flows keep motion. Knowledge graphs keep context. ELT keeps truth clean. QC logic and e-signatures keep guardrails firm. Humans make the key calls. Automation does the rest. As more steps run reliably, the rails lengthen. R&D can stay open. Production can stay locked. The result feels like autonomy because the manual glue disappears. That is the path from today’s guided execution to tomorrow’s self-driving lab.

‍

Final word

Scaling from one workflow to many should not add chaos. Scispot turns complexity into clarity. It keeps teams aligned, keeps data trustworthy, and keeps auditors satisfied. You get speed without losing traceability. You get control without killing momentum. That is how a lab becomes self-driving—one reliable rail at a time.
