AI investment in life sciences is surging, but enterprise-wide impact remains uneven. SapioCon 2026 explored why: the bottleneck isn't capability, it's coordination. With 65% of scientists repeating experiments due to lost context and over half of organizational data trapped in silos, the real challenge is building workflows where AI can deliver end to end.

Stop focusing on what happened in your lab and start predicting what’s next. In this episode, expert Ken Alves reveals how to shift from reactive firefighting to "predictive control." While LIMS tracks the past, Ken explains how an intelligence layer—powered by AI and digital twins—can anticipate instrument failures and design compliance directly into your workflows.

Choosing an ELN is a workflow decision that affects how your entire team documents, shares, and retrieves research. This buyer's guide walks through how to assess your lab's needs, run a hands-on evaluation with real experiments, ask the right vendor questions, spot red flags, and plan for adoption that sticks beyond the first month.

There is no single best LIMS. With 120+ vendors worldwide, the real question is which one fits your workflows. This guide breaks down the often-overlooked factors behind a successful selection, from total cost of ownership and cloud strategy to the shift toward scientific data platforms and why incomplete requirements are the top reason implementations fail.

Not all ELN features are created equal. The difference between software that transforms your lab and software that collects dust comes down to 12 essential capabilities, from full-text search and immutable timestamps to complete data export and API access. Learn what to evaluate before you commit so your team actually uses it.

Over 75% of scientists admit to using unvetted AI tools outside governed systems just to keep up. This SapioCon 2026 recap explores why coordination, not ambition, remains the real R&D bottleneck and how embedding intelligence directly into the lab record is replacing bolt-on tools with orchestrated, traceable, audit-ready workflows.

Can AI move beyond assisting researchers to actually managing lab workflows? In this episode, host Becky Stewart and AI leader Patrick Callahan explore the regulatory hurdles facing synthetic trial data and the rise of agentic AI in life sciences. Learn what it takes to build trust when the AI is making decisions, not just recommendations.

When a national toxicology lab needed CLIA/GMP/GLP/GCP compliance fast to perform COVID-19 testing, 75+ SOPs had to be analyzed, merged, and migrated on a tight deadline. Learn how Kalleid's technical communicators completed a full gap analysis, content migration, and peer review, saving the client 100+ hours and finishing a month ahead of schedule.

LIMS and ELN solve fundamentally different problems, yet labs routinely invest in the wrong one. LIMS drives operational efficiency, compliance, and throughput. ELN protects research, IP, and institutional knowledge. This guide breaks down where each system delivers ROI, which lab types need one or both, and how to make a confident buying decision.

Most labs own digital tools but lack digital maturity. With only 15-20% achieving full system integration, the ROI gap is massive. Fragmented automation can actually cost more than manual processes. This article maps out why data readiness and a unified strategy must come before tool adoption to avoid costly rework and failed implementations.

An R&D data cloud company's customer training program couldn't scale, lacked defined learning paths, and offered no self-paced options. This case study shows how restructuring training into a strategic retention driver with persona-based content and multi-format delivery turned onboarding from a reactive cost center into a growth engine.
