Scispot Overview

What is Scispot?

Scispot is the best tech stack for biotech. It's the first-ever toolkit that lets you tailor it to your needs – no coding required. Think of it as a super combo of ELN + LIMS + Integrations + Analytics. You can set it up using a user-friendly interface (GUI) or by entering commands (CLI). It's about making your digital biotech dreams a reality. You can design your data infrastructure, automate your workflows and integrations and make your data ready for machine learning and artificial intelligence – all on one spot. Scispot even provides pre-made blueprints for major experiments, teamwork, and data management.

Product Description

Scispot creates a connected digital replica of a biostartup -- it centralizes company-wide data, templatizes routine research, and automates non-scientific tasks. The primary issue facing any growing life science company is disconnected data. Connecting this disparate data requires many custom engineering resources and developing code. With Scispot, these companies can easily connect research, operations, and inventory data without writing a single line of code. Scispot combines the functionalities of LIMS (lab information management system), ELN (electronic lab notebook), and LES (lab execution system) into one platform.

How do you position yourself against your competitors?

Scispot sets itself apart from its competitors through its comprehensive and highly customizable platform, specifically designed for biotech scaleups and enterprises. Unlike other solutions, Scispot offers a fully configurable lab operating system that combines the functionalities of Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS) and Electronic Lab Notebooks (ELN) with automated inventory management, sales management, and seamless integration with lab equipment and third-party apps. With its extensive customization options, intuitive user interface, and a focus on affordability, Scispot empowers small labs to tailor the system to their unique needs and scale as they grow, providing an all-in-one solution that maximizes efficiency and productivity in the lab.

What do you like best about Scispot?

SUPPORT! The team is so so supportive. Scispot team has resident scientists and computational biologist who helps us write custom scripts, configure custom schema for databases, and give suggestions on workflow automation and data strategy. We have had a legacy LIMS before Scispot where it used to take anywhere between 48 hours to weeks to get a reply, however Scispot replies almost near time on Slack. I love how invested the team is to listen to customer feedback, questions, and suggestions. I really like how seemlessly I can integrate all my applications, instruments, and databases with Scispot GLUE. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scispot?

Nothing negative per se. I would probably want more connectors for Scispot GLUE as my lab grows with more instruments. The team is collaborative to make that happen Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Scispot solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am using Scispot as a LIMS for High Throughput Screening workflows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Scispot?

Scispot helped my team centralize all our animal research data from live animal data (including randomzation, clinical observations, feed intake, etc.), clinical chemistry, clinical pathology, histology, anatomic pathology and all associated metadata into one single platform. We also used Scispot to semi automate some of our study reports in complance with regulatory guidelines.

My team liked Scispot's software ease of use and the Scispot team was also available to provide answers to any questions my team had. The transition to use of Scispot software took merely a couple of days and it is now integrated with our internal apps and instrumentation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scispot?

Offhand there is nothing that I dislike about Scispot software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Scispot solving and how is that benefiting you?

Centralizing all of our in vivo data and automating repetitive tasks while ensuring compliance.

An excellent benefit is the attendant time saving and superior personnel utilization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Scispot?

I hate Benchling and other tools I have used in this industry. Scispot stood out as it is the most configurable platform - I pretty much configured my own sample and inventory manager in a few minutes using Scispot Labsheets and integration with scientific instrument is seemless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scispot?

I would like to see more scientific out of the box analytics. Although Scispot has a great analytics app along with embedded Jupyter Hub, I would like more scientific analytics options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Scispot solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am using Scispot for Inventory automation, and bringing data from qPCR instruments. Scispot automated my instrument ingestion from qPCR - I am also able to push data back to the instrument using their API and file type. This saved us a lot of time in the lab while running experiments. We also prepared our data model using Scispot Labsheets that can be accessed to build linkages between my plate, experiment and instrument data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Scispot really makes things easier for us in the lab. It connects all our instruments and apps, automates the work we usually do by hand, and handles big chunks of data without any issues. We can track experiments and keep all our data in one place, which saves time. The fact that we can adjust the workflows to fit what we need, plus the helpful AI analytics, has made a big difference in how we get things done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Scispot?

The Scispot team is very willing to listen and help with our specific script needs and incorporate our feedback into their application, specifically when it comes to automated data entry and calculations. Scispot experiments/labsheets/documents are also extremely useful when documenting SOPs, experimental observations, and laboratory data. The Scispot team is also very respectful, quick to respond, and eager to implement our requested customizations. Thank you! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scispot?

Scispot website and customized scripts may occasionally have some engineering glitches that can be initially difficult to work around. Nonetheless, the Scispot team is very open to our feedback and readily fixes them as we bring the issues up! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Scispot solving and how is that benefiting you?

- Inventory management (i.e., tracking locations and depletion of chemicals/consumables)

- Data entry automation (i.e., transposing 96w plate to row format in labsheets; still needs to be written by Scispot)

- Automating calculations within labsheets Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Scispot?

I really like that Scispot is easy to configure to what we need, and you don't need to be a programmer to do it. We can change how it looks and how it works to make it fit our lab and workflows. It's configured just for us, and that's why it stands out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scispot?

Not really. Whenever we're stuck or need help, the Scispot folks are right there on Slack or a video call. They sort things out quickly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Scispot solving and how is that benefiting you?

Before, our work with drug-like compounds needed a chemistry-aware Notebook and LIMS, and all our biology work was all over the place. But now, with Scispot, we've got it all in one place. It's really easy for both our lab folks and our computational team to use. And it's set up to let different people do different things. Just like they say, Scispot is really a do-it-all tool.
