Platform Functions and Capabilities
Functionality Overview
Scifeon is a modular platform that combines ELN, LIMS, workflow automation and data reporting in one system. Below you’ll find a breakdown of core platform features, grouped by functionality.
Electronic Lab Notebook (ELN)
For structured experiment documentation, SOP management, and collaboration in research and process labs:
Structured data entry with fully configurable templates
Version-controlled SOP management and digital records
Experiment tracking with complete edit history
Notes, attachments, and annotations per entry
Built-in calculation tools for dilutions and curve fitting
Plate-based workflows, e.g. cherry picking and assay mapping
Digital signoff and approval routing
Collaboration and commenting at record level
LIMS Functionality
For managing samples, batches, and inventory in QC and regulated environments:
Sample registration with automatic barcode generation
Plate, lot, and batch tracking across workflows
Material and reagent inventory with expiry monitoring
Label printing with configurable templates
Result entry templates per test type
Configurable test plans and analysis protocols
Full traceability with role-based access control
Workflow Automation
For digitizing handoffs, approvals, and recurring laboratory routines:
Request creation and routing, e.g. from QA to laboratory teams
Status tracking per sample, step, or process
Automated notifications and action triggers
Integration with instruments and file systems via APIs and file watchers
Dashboard-based process control and monitoring
SOP-driven conditional workflows
Reporting and Laboratory Data Management
For handling, visualizing, and sharing lab data across experiments and teams:
Spreadsheet-like data views for intuitive data navigation
Custom reports with embedded calculations
Real-time dashboards and interactive charts
Audit-ready data export for regulatory compliance
Automated PDF and table report generation
Integration-ready output formats, including CSV, JSON, and XML
Frequently Asked Questions
ELNs focus on experiment documentation and flexible collaboration, while LIMS manage sample tracking, workflows, and compliance. Scifeon integrates both into a single modular platform so labs avoid switching systems and can scale without redesigning their data infrastructure.
Scifeon uses a pilot-first implementation model, showing results early. At EvodiaBio, researchers achieved a 50% productivity increase after just six weeks by focusing on specific workflows first rather than big-bang deployments.
Yes. Scifeon avoids long, high-cost rollouts by starting with a focused pilot and gradually extending modules as needs grow. This reduces upfront costs and accelerates ROI, making it suitable for startups, scale-ups, and established labs alike.
Yes. Scifeon adapts to different environments:
• R&D teams use it as an ELN for experiment design, data capture, and collaboration.
• QC labs leverage LIMS features like sample registration, batch tracking, and audit-ready reporting.
Because modules are configurable and interoperable, one platform serves both contexts.
Yes. Scifeon connects via APIs and file watchers, enabling smooth data flow from lab instruments, ERP/MES systems, and analytics tools. This removes manual data transcription, speeds up reporting, and improves traceability.
Scifeon digitises handoffs, approvals, and recurring processes through configurable SOP-driven workflows. Requests, notifications, and instrument data are routed automatically, reducing administrative overhead and enabling faster decision cycles.
