A ligand-binding assay is long and exact: timed incubations, diluted reagents, and traceable lots and instruments.
On paper, analysts do dilution math on a calculator, time incubations by kitchen timer, and errors surface late.
What we built
Built with Somru's in-house team since 2020, including the original worksheet design backend.
- 01
Template designer
With fifteen assay step types, each with materials, dilutions, incubations, and equipment.
- 02
Versioning and finalization
That locks a template for use.
- 03
Analyst assignment
So each analyst sees only their templates.
- 04
Guided execution
With live timers, reagent lots, equipment selection, and calculated volumes.
- 05
Review and approval
Under electronic signature, with a full audit history.
Key features
Automatic dilution volumes
Material and buffer volumes calculated, rounded, and checked against the pipetting minimum.
