"how scispot improved my scientific productivity"

February 23, 2024

❌ What’s Not Great

“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.”

✅ Positive Notes

“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.”

"A great plug-and-lay solution for BioTech"

December 6, 2023

❌ What’s Not Great

“Dont have anything specific that i can point out that dislike”

✅ Positive Notes

“When I was tasked with implementing Scispot for a biotech client in my previous role, I found many aspects of it to be praiseworthy. I was particularly impressed with the developer toolkit. Being able to easily integrate any molecular bio workflows and data into and out of Scispot was a boon. As someone deeply involved in tech, having secure plug-and-play APIs for LIMS and ELN at my disposal simplified many aspects of my work.

Ordinary LIMS often fall short when it comes to providing a scalable data lake, but Scispot filled this gap efficiently. Labsheets enabled me to store and transform vast quantities of data, a crucial aspect in our data-heavy field.

One of my favorite features was the inclusion of the Jupyter hub on Scispot. It was an invaluable tool for manipulating data from various instruments and other tools, with the flexibility of operating both synchronously and asynchronously. The Jupyter hub not only streamlined my data analysis but also opened up new opportunities for advanced exploration and processing.

In short, my experience with Scispot was exceedingly positive. It made my work much simpler and more efficient, all while ensuring a high level of data security and scalability.”

❌ What’s Not Great

“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”

✅ Positive Notes

“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.”

Editor Review

Scispot emerges as a robust and adaptable LIMS solution tailored for modern labs. Many users praise its plug‐and‐play nature, seamless integration with lab instruments and internal apps, and the flexibility to customize workflows with minimal fuss. The system’s built-in automation and centralized data management enhance operational efficiency and scientific productivity, with standout features like built‐in AI analytics and an embedded Jupyter hub that facilitate advanced data processing. On the support front, Scispot excels with near real-time responsiveness via Slack, and a team that is proactive in addressing feedback and resolving minor latency or engineering glitches. However, a few users note a steep learning curve in fully leveraging the platform’s capabilities and highlight occasional latency issues and a desire for additional out-of-the-box scientific analytics options. Overall, while the platform offers exceptional integration, customization, and support, prospective adopters should be prepared for a brief ramp-up period to harness its full potential.
