Industries and Applications
Splashlake's vendor-neutral platform seamlessly connects your LIMS with your entire laboratory ecosystem, supporting six distinct data types while eliminating the need for custom code and orchestration workflows.
In today's data-driven laboratory environments, disconnected systems create significant challenges. Without direct LIMS instrument integration between your Laboratory Information Management System and instruments, scientists waste valuable time on manual data transcription, introducing errors and delaying insights. The resulting data silos prevent holistic analysis, while inconsistent connectivity compromises data integrity and compliance efforts.
Organizations face mounting costs maintaining multiple custom integrations across their laboratory ecosystem, particularly when instrument software updates frequently break these connections.

Some providers may suggest using a batch method, where data is stored in a folder. The LIMS scans the folder for new items and interfaces the data into the LIMS, using either signed reports or audit trails to verify data integrity. Unfortunately this pragmatic solution carries real risks - particularly in regulated environments:
Between the instrument writing a file and the LIMS picking it up, that file exists in a state where it could be modified, deleted, overwritten, or corrupted - intentionally or accidentally.
If something goes wrong with an instrument, the network, or the folder, you may not know until a batch fails or data is missing - potentially hours or days later.
A LIMS audit trail records what the LIMS did with the file - ingestion time, parsed values, user who reviewed it. It does not cover what happened to the file before ingestion. Regulators increasingly scrutinize this gap.
A PDF or signed report from the instrument is better than a raw data file because it represents a finalized output, but it introduces its own issues - the underlying raw data may not be captured, and if the report format changes the LIMS parser can silently fail or misparse values.
Network shares and watched folders are notoriously difficult to secure. Write access is often broader than it should be - service accounts, IT admins, even end users may have access. This is a common FDA 483 observation.
If an instrument reprocesses a sample and writes a new file to the folder, how does the LIMS handle it? Handling versioning and amendments through a folder-based system requires careful design.
Instead of relying on traditional LIMS-centric interfaces that must be built for each instrument individually, Splashlake focuses on direct and comprehensive data capture from the source, with a product-first approach and a scalable reuse of patterns wherever they make sense, to provide integrations between LIMS and all instruments through a single interface:
Instead of focusing on result extraction from CSV and TXT files exported from the instrument software, the Splashlake approach delivers a stronger foundation for data integrity and compliance, and establishes a more sustainable and future-proof data foundation for applications such as AI and ML.

This comprehensive approach ensures complete regulatory compliance while enabling unprecedented data access and security.
Our bi-directional communication capabilities allow worklists to be sent directly to instruments, with results automatically returned to your LIMS. This eliminates manual transcription errors while dramatically reducing the time scientists spend on data management tasks.
Splashlake's flexible deployment options provide another key advantage. We can deploy on any customer- or vendor-provided cloud, on-premises, or in hybrid environments. This versatility ensures our solution adapts to your existing infrastructure rather than forcing you to conform to rigid deployment models.
