Dotmatics, a provider of scientific informatics solutions and services, and TetraScience, an R&D data integration platform, have formed a strategic partnership. The partnership is designed to bring R&D labs an improved relationship with their scientific data.
As part of the partnership, TetraScience has built a Dotmatics data integration. The Dotmatics suite, including Studies, Vortex, and Studies Notebook, is available as both a data source and data consumer via the TetraScience Integration Engine. The Dotmatics user can see their files automatically uploaded, parsed, and moved into Dotmatics, in real-time from any other TetraScience integration including scientific instruments and software.
For example, using TetraScience, scientists can prepare and load plates onto an instrument and run a protocol in a Plate Reader workflow. After which, the file is saved directly to a network drive from the instrument. TetraScience recognises that a new file has been uploaded, and begins the integration process.
Every file is validated for appropriate naming structure and metadata, ensuring that it is standardised and tagged with the correct metadata, that it has moved through the TetraScience Data Lake, and that it is made available to Dotmatics for data normalisation and curves fitting where appropriate. When the user clicks on a file, the expanded view provides a detailed explanation of what happened at each step.
The file and the analysed results are stored on the Dotmatics Platform, either in the cloud or on-premise allowing for easy searching, retrieval and integration with other data.
Data standardisation provides the foundation for machine learning initiatives with both historic and future data sets. As a result, scientists can work more efficiently, spending more time analysing results and making discoveries rather than going back and forth between resources.
