Dotmatics, a leader in scientific software for R&D, has launched an innovative scientific data platform called Dotmatics Luma™. This platform aims to help scientists and administrators in the life sciences industry by providing a low-code SaaS platform that unifies and analyzes large volumes of data for better decision-making.
With the rapid growth of scientific data, scientists often face challenges in accessing and analyzing data efficiently, which can hinder their primary work of discovery. The return on investment of R&D has also decreased over the past decade, despite technological advancements that promise to improve efficiency and aid in digital transformation.
Dotmatics Luma™ aims to address these challenges by delivering a scientifically-aware data platform that enables scientists to easily control and analyze large volumes of data. By aggregating all relevant data into intelligent data structures, Luma™ facilitates clean and reliable data analysis, paving the way for meta-analysis and AI & ML-based algorithms. The goal is to help life science companies shorten the drug discovery process and reduce the costs of drug therapy R&D.
One of the main challenges in the lab is harmonizing data from different instruments. Each instrument produces data in a different format, making it time-consuming to align and integrate the outputs. This often requires the use of vendor-specific tools or manual annotation of results, adding complexity and introducing data integrity risks. Additionally, as instrumentation manufacturers update and change formats, labs often face difficulties in updating data models for historic data.
To address these instrumentation challenges, Dotmatics offers Luma Lab Connect, which allows customers to centralize data from any file-based instrument into the Dotmatics cloud. The parsing engine of Luma Lab Connect automatically extracts and wrangles metadata and scientific data from instrument files with minimal configuration. This harmonized and value-driven approach to data integration reduces the burden on IT and decreases the overall time and costs of R&D.
Looking ahead, Dotmatics plans to enhance Luma™ with AI functionality, including generative AI query-building options and predictive and adaptive AI capabilities. These features aim to greatly augment lab testing and decision-making procedures.
Dotmatics Luma™ provides a comprehensive solution for scientists and administrators in the life sciences industry to unify and analyze large volumes of data. By facilitating efficient data access and analysis, this scientific data platform supports better decision-making and ultimately reduces the time and costs of R&D.
