SciNote API and Integrations
Connect your SciNote ELN to LIMS, IoT platforms, instruments, and other lab solutions via API.
Learn more about integrations and API in SciNote:
What is integration
Integration is the connection of data, tools, applications, APIs, instruments with the aim to increase productivity and efficiency. In addition to connecting the systems, integrations bring in synergistic effects by providing brand new functionality that does not exist when systems are used individually.
For example, integrations can bring to SciNote the ability to link SciNote with LIMS system samples, retrieve data from an instrument, send a report back to the LIMS system, import a protocol from external protocol repository, offer the ability to edit Microsoft Word documents in SciNote, to draw and store a chemical structure in SciNote, to order reagents or consumables with your favorite supplier, etc. The use of these integrations together in one place will not only be convenient for you but you’ll also be more efficient and productive as you will be able to complete your work faster.
Integration is a key driver of business transformation and digitization that is happening across industries, including labs.
How can I integrate with SciNote?
You can use out-of-the box integrations SciNote already offers. Check out SciNote integration partners. Majority of the tools SciNote is integrated with rely on RESTful API.
Or, if the tool or the third-party application that you would like to integrate with SciNote is not on the list of SciNote partner integrations, or if you would like to integrate via SciNote API, contact us at premium@scinote.net.
SciNote API
SciNote has a RESTful API that 3rd party applications such as LIMS systems, data management systems, CRM, ERP systems can use to access SciNote data. RESTful APIs nowadays are one of the key concepts behind software integrations, interfacing, and interoperability. Depending on the need, integrations via RESTful API can be uni- or bidirectional offering data flows from 3rd party application into SciNote and/or from SciNote into 3rd party application. For example, an external application integrated with SciNote can create a task, a protocol, a sample, update a sample in SciNote, or can receive data such as a result file from SciNote.
I… use the API for client inventory exports, so we provide a snapshot of billed items for a client on regular intervals or on request. We have global inventories that have a “Client” column, so I can use this tool to quickly export them in the right format without trying to export to excel manually.
Ganymede and all instrument/app connectivity
Simplify data collection by connecting all your lab instruments and software applications to SciNote ELN. SciNote has partnered with Ganymede.bio, the only whole-lab automation and data integration platform built specifically for the life sciences, to power data automation. Now, you can get a holistic live view of all of your data, ensure data integrity and traceability, while speeding up R&D, compliance, analysis, and decision-making.
Quartzy and inventory management
Connect your Quartzy inventories to SciNote so you can trace Quartzy inventory items without leaving SciNote. Ensure traceability from inventories to experiments by assigning inventory items in SciNote’s protocols and tasks, or referring to inventory items using smart annotations. Stock management and reagent reordering features coming soon.
Have both SciNote and Quartzy? Ask your org admin to follow the steps in the Knowledge Base to connect Quartzy inventories with SciNote.
Integration with Open Vector Editor (OVE)
SciNote includes a sequence editor tool that’s the open-source version (MIT license) of the Open Vector Editor (OVE) developed by Teselagen Biotechnology. This tool is currently available within SciNote’s Task Protocol step.
With this tool, you can directly create, edit, and view plasmid and DNA sequence designs directly within SciNote without opening another software application. You will also be able to collaborate with other SciNote team members on sequence designs.
Your sequence designs can be stored with other relevant data and will be documented regularly just like all other data within SciNote.
Integration with Protocols.io
You can search the public database of protocols.io directly from SciNote Protocol repository, preview protocols.io protocols, and if you like a protocol, you can seamlessly import it into SciNote.
SciNote will get the protocol from protocols.io, parse it to SciNote protocol format which you will be able to preview and store into your SciNote Protocol repository.
Integration with Gilson Connect
You can connect your SciNote with Gilson Connect and keep all your pipetting records in one place in SciNote. You will be able to know exactly how your experiments were conducted, connect your findings, raw data, reports, and much more.
This is possible with a combination of tablet-run TRACKMAN Connected app that communicates with Gilson’s PIPETMAN® M Connected pipettes via Bluetooth® and SciNote, to which TRACKMAN Connected will save pipetting records.
Integration with ChemAxon Marvin
Drawing chemical structures and reactions has never been easier. With a simple click on a Marvin button, you are able to draw your chemical structure and save it directly to your SciNote. You can also seamlessly edit existing chemical structures in SciNote directly with Marvin and save changes back to SciNote.
Integration with ChemAxon Marvin is done in such a way that your data stay safely in your SciNote.
Integration with Office for the web
You can create and edit Office files directly from SciNote with Office on the web. Excel, Word or PowerPoint files will be opened with Office directly in your browser, where you are able to view, edit and download them. Once you are done editing, the file is safely stored to your SciNote.
This integration is done in such a way that your files will be stored directly on your SciNote and will not reside outside of it.
Integration with FLUICS Print
FLUICS Print is a service offered to for SciNote users to print smear-proof cryo labels with QR codes directly through the cloud. Unbox the printer, connect it to the internet with a LAN cable and start printing your labels in your lab. Barcoded labels can be scanned to directly access sample properties and track samples throughout the experiments.
Integration with Zebra label printers (via Zebra Browser Print)
SciNote supports label printing with Zebra label printers through the Zebra Browser Print application. You can also create new label templates using label design tools such as ZebraDesigner Essentials 3 (freely available via Zebra) and ZebraDesigner Professional 3, or similar label design tools.
