Splashlake connects every instrument in your lab to BIOVIA Notebook, so results flow straight into your experiments instead of being retyped into Body Text sections and Excel tables. Our productized, convention-over-configuration platform goes live in days rather than months, with no instrument-by-instrument protocols to build or maintain.
BIOVIA Notebook from Dassault Systèmes is where R&D teams capture experiments, protect intellectual property and share what they learn, whether it runs on BIOVIA ScienceCloud or is validated on-premises. Experiment templates keep work consistent across labs, electronic signatures and co-signing protect your IP, and the notebook library and structure search make past work easy to find. But the data that completes those experiments still lives on the instruments.
Today that gap is usually bridged by hand. Scientists retype weighings into a Body Text section, copy readings into an Excel table, and attach exported PDFs from the instrument PC. Each step costs bench time, invites transcription errors, and leaves an experiment audit trail that shows the typing, not the measurement. Co-signers are then asked to witness values they cannot easily trace back to the source.
Splashlake closes that gap with a productized, bi-directional integration. Worklists built from your experiments go straight to the instrument. Results come back into the right experiment, already structured, with the raw file and its metadata attached. Scientists sign data they didn’t have to transcribe, and the experiment becomes a complete record that co-signers can witness with confidence.
Many BIOVIA customers connect instruments through Pipeline Pilot protocols, BIOVIA Capture or bespoke integration code. Pipeline Pilot is a powerful environment for data science, analysis and automated reporting. Using it as the connector for every balance, pH meter and chromatograph, though, means a protocol to build, validate and maintain for each instrument model and vendor file format, with retesting each time an instrument, firmware version or Notebook release changes.
Splashlake replaces that per-instrument build with one productized connection, based on convention over configuration. Instruments plug into Splashlake once, using standard data conventions instead of custom scripts, mapping tables or parsing rules, and data is captured in the vendor-neutral AnIML standard. Your Notebook administrators keep control of experiment templates, sections and project permissions; Splashlake fits around them.
The result: new instruments reach BIOVIA Notebook in days, and your Pipeline Pilot team can spend its time on analysis, reporting and models rather than on keeping instrument connections running.
Most integrations stop at attaching a file to an experiment. Splashlake handles six types of scientific data and puts each one where BIOVIA Notebook users expect to find it:
Files – Raw instrument files attached to the right experiment, with their acquisition metadata preserved and archived in a format that can be opened without the original software.
Simple instrument data – Balance, pH meter and pipette readings written straight into experiment sections and Excel tables, with no retyping of actual masses or volumes.
Time series data – Bioreactor, sensor and environmental monitoring streams summarized into the experiment, with the full series kept for later analysis.
Metadata – Instrument, method, operator and timestamp captured automatically, or added manually, so reviewers and co-signers see the full context behind every value.
Relational data – Links between samples, runs and results maintained across systems, so a result in Notebook traces back to its sample in BIOVIA Samples or your LIMS.
Chemical structures – Structural information handled alongside the structures and reactions your chemists draw in BIOVIA Draw, ChemDraw or MarvinSketch, keeping experiments searchable by structure.
The outcome is an experiment with full scientific context, and data that is ready for Pipeline Pilot analysis and reporting, AI models and long-term archive.
See how Splashlake sends work from BIOVIA Notebook to your instruments and brings structured results back into your experiments, without a backlog of instrument-specific protocols. Integration time drops from months to days, and your data stays readable long after any single instrument or software version is retired.
