'''Sapio Sciences''' is a software vendor that develops and markets the Exemplar product line. Exemplar is a versatile software tool that encompasses [[Laboratory information management system|laboratory information management]], [[electronic laboratory notebook]], molecular diagnostics, biomarker discovery, and data management in a single framework.<ref name="ExempAbout">{{cite web |url=http://www.sapiosciences.com/lims_products.php |title=Sapio's Laboratory Information Management (LIMS) Solutions |publisher=Sapio Sciences, LLC |accessdate=29 May 2013}}</ref>
Sapio Sciences was originally founded in 2004 to develop software tools to address the growing genotyping need for tools to assist in analyzing genetics data, particularly in relation to Genome Wide Association Studies. Sapio's first product was Exemplar Analytics, which ultimately incorporated over 50 different algorithms and was utilized in numerous published papers in prestigious journals.<ref>{{cite journal |pmc=2582197 |pmid=19005574 |year=2008 |last1=Shiels |first1=A |last2=Bennett |first2=TM |last3=Knopf |first3=HL |last4=Maraini |first4=G |last5=Li |first5=A |last6=Jiao |first6=X |last7=Hejtmancik |first7=JF |title=The EPHA2 gene is associated with cataracts linked to chromosome 1p |volume=14 |pages=2042–55 |journal=Molecular vision}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal |doi=10.1371/journal.pgen.1000218 |title=Genetic Association and Expression Studies Indicate a Role of Toll-Like Receptor 8 in Pulmonary Tuberculosis |year=2008 |editor1-last=Gojobori |editor1-first=Takashi |last1=Davila |first1=Sonia |last2=Hibberd |first2=Martin L. |last3=Hari Dass |first3=Ranjeeta |last4=Wong |first4=Hazel E.

Sapio Sciences, LLC develops and distributes laboratory informatics software solutions.


History

Sapio Sciences was originally founded in 2004 to develop software tools to address the growing genotyping need for tools to assist in analyzing genetics data, particularly in relation to Genome Wide Association Studies. Sapio's first product was Exemplar Analytics, which ultimately incorporated over 50 different algorithms and was utilized in numerous published papers in prestigious journals.[1][2][3][4][5] Sapio's was subsequently approached by several customers to develop a LIMS solution that would provide a greater level of flexibility and configurability than traditional LIMS solutions on the market. This led to the development of Exemplar LIMS and its introduction in early 2007.[6]

Sapio quietly discontinued its Examplar Biomarker Discovery product sometime after November 2014.[7]

Technology and products

Exemplar is a versatile software tool that encompasses laboratory information management, electronic laboratory notebook, molecular diagnostics, biomarker discovery, and data management in a single framework.[8] Since its original introduction in 2007, Exemplar has evolved into more than a LIMS solution. Sapio introduced its Workflow Engine in 2008[9], with the goal of being able to address the electronic laboratory notebook market and eliminate paper based recording of lab process information.

Exemplar subsequently added a fully configurable data model which meant that Exemplar could now track virtually any data assuming reasonable constraints on volume.[10] This has led to Exemplar being used as a scientific data management system (SDMS) where it is used to manage large volumes of targeted assay data. Statistics have also be implemented to perform detailed analysis of scientific data within the same environment.

Product architecture

Exemplar is an n-tier product that offers both Java and web-based clients. Multiple databases are supported for data storage including MySQL and Oracle.

Target markets

The general framework and adaptable nature of Exemplar has made it applicable to a broad spectrum of accounts, ranging from large pharmaceuticals to university R&D departments. Exemplar is also being used in highly regulated environments such as part 11, GLP, and CLIA laboratories.[11] The Exemplar family of products are focused on supporting non-profit research labs, commercial entities engaging in the discovery of biomarkers, and commercial companies applying ready-for-market molecular based diagnostics.[12]
