Connectivity between laboratory equipment is critical to capturing the large amounts of multimodal data generated during the drug discovery and development process. With the launch of its latest product, Luma Lab Connect, scientific software provider Dotmatic enables drug developers to extract data from all instruments in a centralized and standardized manner to aid downstream analysis and interpretation. That's what I'm aiming for.
A key benefit of Luma Lab Connect is its ability to automate data flow from lab equipment in real-time in a way that protects the integrity and reliability of experimental results. With Luma Lab Connect, equipment data is seamlessly piped into Dotmatics' Luma Cloud, his low-code Software-as-a-Service platform that the company launched in October 2023. It includes tools for structuring lab information in a way that is usable to artificial intelligence. Intelligence and machine learning based algorithms.
Tools are also available to extract descriptive metadata and harmonize instrument data with other information from other sources for more detailed analysis. Users also have the option of running external analysis tools on their data using the open application programming interface provided by Dotmatics.
“Dotmatics helps labs maximize the value of their data by providing an integrated, low-code solution for instrument connectivity, data harmonization, and modeling,” said Dotmatics CEO , said Thomas Swalla. “In the coming years, the companies with the cleanest, AI-enabled data will be the most successful in pursuing breakthrough discoveries. Our customers who have adopted Luma Lab Connect We are finding tremendous value from instrument data, simplifying workflows, and accelerating scientific discovery.”
Dotmatics has already shown interest in Luma Lab Connect for a variety of drug discovery applications including flow cytometry, screening, and cell line development. Karim Saliba, chief product officer at Dotmatics, said the product is already in use by several major pharmaceutical companies and has “hundreds of users and over 40 supported formats.” “We process tens of terabytes of data every day and cover thousands of devices.”
In January, Dotmatics announces acquisition of M-Stara computational fluid dynamics software company, said the deal opens opportunities for innovation in bioprocessing, including cell and gene therapy manufacturing.
