Why Is Effective Electronic Lab Notebook Integration Critical for Modern Laboratories?

The disconnection between laboratory instruments and Electronic Lab Notebooks creates significant operational challenges for scientific organizations. Without direct integration, laboratories must rely on manual data transcription – a process that introduces errors, creates compliance risks, and wastes valuable scientist time that could be devoted to research and analysis.

Splashlake delivers a comprehensive, productized solution for Electronic Lab Notebook integration that enables seamless bi-directional communication between your ELN and laboratory instruments. Our vendor-neutral approach allows worklists to be sent directly to instruments and results to be received automatically back into your Electronic Lab Notebook, creating a cohesive data ecosystem that supports scientific excellence and operational efficiency.

How Does Splashlake's Integration Approach Differ from Traditional Methods?

Traditional integration methods require custom code, orchestration workflows, and specialized maintenance for each instrument connection. This approach is time-consuming, expensive, and creates ongoing technical debt that systems evolve. 

Splashlake revolutionizes Electronic Laboratory Notebook integration through our convention over configuration principles. Our productized integration delivers standardized connectivity across your entire instrument ecosystem without relying on custom scripts, data mapping, or parsing rules. This approach provides transformative benefits:

  • Integration time reduction from months to days – This dramatic improvement means your laboratory can realize productivity gains almost immediately, accelerating your digital transformation and delivering faster return on investment. 
  • Stable connections that remain functional through software upgrades – Our integrations eliminate the constant cycle of rebuilding connections that plagues many laboratories, providing confidence in long-term operational stability. 
  • Complete data and metadata collection in future-proofed formats – Critical information remains accessible without original instrument software, ensuring long-term data accessibility and compliance with regulatory requirements. 
  • Scalable solution that grows effortlessly – Your laboratory can expand with new instruments or requirements while protecting your integration investment, supporting both current operations and future growth.

Which ELN Solution Do You Need To Integrate?

Our solution is compatible with all major ELN, including these widely used systems.

What Types of Scientific Data Can Splashlake Manage with Electronic Lab Notebooks?

Unlike many integration solutions that focus solely on file transfers, Splashlake supports six distinct types of scientific data within your ELNs ecosystem:

  • Files provide complete management of instrument data files with all associated metadata, ensuring nothing is lost in the transfer process. 
  • Simple instrument data enables direct integration with balances, pH meters, pipettes, and other basic laboratory equipment, streamlining routine measurements. 
  • Time series data offers comprehensive handling of sensor outputs for environmental monitoring, bioreactors, and similar applications that require continuous monitoring. 
  • Metadata extraction, whether automatic or manual, preserves contextual information that proves crucial for experimental interpretation and compliance documentation. 
  • Relational data maintains structured connections between data elements, preserving the relationships that give scientific data meaning. 
  • Chemical structures receive specialized handling for molecular and structural information, supporting chemistry and pharmaceutical research workflows.

 

This comprehensive data management capability ensures complete scientific context while enabling deeper insights from your laboratory information, supporting both immediate research needs and long-term data analysis requirements.

Together with Thermo, we can even do a Digital Pretzel Transfer. Is there anything we can't do?

What Operational Benefits Will Your Laboratory Experience?

Implementing Splashlake’s Electronic Lab Notebook integration solution delivers substantial operational advantages that transform laboratory workflows:

Vendor-agnostic connectivity – Vendor-agnostic connectivity supports any instrument type, including non-cloud-ready instruments using IoT hardware devices for equipment with RS232, RS422, and USB connections, ensuring comprehensive laboratory coverage.

Elimination of error-prone manual transcription – Elimination of error-prone manual transcription frees scientists’ time for higher-value research activities while dramatically improving data quality. This efficiency gain directly impacts research productivity, allowing your scientific teams to focus on discovery rather than data entry tasks.

Holistic data visibility – Holistic data visibility across multiple laboratory and production systems enables better decision-making and operational awareness throughout your organization. This comprehensive view supports both tactical operations and strategic planning, providing insights that drive research direction and resource allocation.

Flexible deployment options – Flexible deployment options accommodate any customer- or vendor-provided cloud, on-premises, or hybrid environments, aligning perfectly with your organization’s infrastructure strategy and security requirements while supporting future technology evolution.
