Exemplar will be used for sample management and integration with robotic platforms.

Sapio Sciences has entered into an agreement to supply the University of British Columbia’s Center for Molecular Medicine and Therpeutics (CMMT) Next Gen Sequencing Lab with its Exemplar Laboratory Information Management Solution (LIMS).

CMMT plans to utilize Exemplar LIMS for sample management and integration with robotic platforms. The Examplar LIMS will support remote web-based sample submission and processing requests and automate storage management of samples, Sapio notes. Moreover, it will integrate with various laboratory devices to automate control of quantitation and hit-picking experiments, retrieve DNA extraction information, and implement workflows for genotyping and sequencing, the firm adds.

“Exemplar excels at rapid implementation of instrument integrations, which can be combined with Examplar’s configurable ELN capability for a complete workflow that has automated instrument control and data capture,” says Julia Neel, chief software architect at Sapio.

The University of British Columbia’s CMMT was founded in 1995 and explores the genetic basis of disease. It endeavors to translate what they learn into new treatment strategies for common and neglected diseases.
