SciCord
Hybrid LIMS and ELN informatics platform for compliant pharmaceutical and analytical laboratories.
Executive Summary
SciCord is an informatics platform combining Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) and Electronic Laboratory Notebook (ELN) functionalities into a unified, compliant ecosystem. Designed specifically for pharmaceutical R&D, QC, and analytical testing labs, SciCord allows scientists to configure compliant workflows using spreadsheet-like interfaces while automating data capture directly from laboratory instruments. Built on Microsoft Azure, the platform enforces compliance standards including FDA 21 CFR Part 11, GxP, and Annex 11 through immutable audit trails, secure electronic signatures, and granular role-based access control. SciCord streamlines sample tracking, reagent inventory, metrology, and stability testing while maintaining comprehensive end-to-end data integrity. With parameter-driven APIs and native connectivity for analytical instruments like chromatographs and balances, SciCord minimizes manual transcription and accelerates cycle times, offering life science organizations a flexible alternative to rigid legacy LIMS software.
Use Cases
- Replacing disconnected paper notebooks and unvalidated spreadsheets with a 21 CFR Part 11 compliant ELN
- Managing analytical sample lifecycles, specifications, stability studies, and Certificates of Analysis (CoA)
- Automating direct data acquisition from analytical instruments, balances, and chromatography systems
- Tracking laboratory resource lifecycles including reagents, reference standards, and equipment calibration
