Sapio Sciences Announces the Sapio Synergy™ Program
Baltimore, MD – October 3, 2008 – Sapio is pleased to announce the initiation of the Sapio Synergy program. For the first time, a LIMS vendor is enabling the development, enhancement and sharing of Best Practices BP) within its customer and partner base. Enabled by Exemplar LIMS industry leading flexibility, which already enables the rapid development of BP’s ranging from something as simple as a reagent mix recipe calculation, to detailed protocolsworkflows, to automated instrument integration, Sapio Synergy will extend this capability to
enable the easy importingexporting of these BP’s so they can be shared by other Exemplar LIMS customers. This opensourcing of BP development allows for rapid uptake of Exemplar LIMS for both existing and new customers as they can now leverage work done by the open source community with Exemplar LIMS.
Sapio will fully support this program with a secure website where customers can login and download pre-built BP’s for use in their own lab. Further, our customers can enhance downloaded content and re-submit it as a other iteration of the BP. BP’s can be submitted to Sapio online or by using the dedicated email address, synergy@sapiosciences.com. Sapio will test and certify all BP’s before making them available to our customers.
Sapio believes this will lead to an active open source community of BP developers establishing detailed protocols for leading technology platforms like Illumina Genotyping and Sequencing, ABI Mass Spectrometry, ABI SOLiD, Roche 454 Sequencing, ELISA, PCR and virtually any other laboratory technology being used by our customers. Further, Sapio will seed the Synergy site with protocols it has already developed to enable our customers to start downloading protocols, instrument integrations and other BP’s immediately. Sapio Synergy full capabilities are available in release 2.4.0 and all future releases. According to Kevin Cramer, VP of Sales at Sapio, “Open source development has become important in many different domains. Give the dynamic nature of the laboratory environment and the rapid innovation of new lab
technologies, we feel that open sourcing protocol development is highly appropriate. Exemplar LIMS already sets the standard for rapid implementation of protocols, instrument integrations and customization; and with Synergy, our customers can quickly download and import Best Practices and use them immediately. They can also customize downloaded Best Practices to their particular environment, or enhance them for use in the Synergy program by sharing what they have done.” Sapio Sciences Exemplar LIMS v2.4.0 is available immediately.
