What Dotmatics offers
Digitization
Digitizing and automating laboratory functions provides scientists rapid access to high-quality data so research can move seamlessly through lab departments more effectively.
AI & Machine Learning
Updating the architecture for automated capture of clean and trustworthy data enables powerful artificial intelligence and machine learning models.
Multimodal Discovery
Leveraging a unified platform that supports testing different drug types across biology and chemistry helps cross-functional researchers solve a given problem.
Chemically-Modified Therapeutics
Access to a single source of truth provides chemists and biologists ways of capturing and viewing data that makes sense to them.
 |  | |
|---|---|---|
| Comprehensive Capabilities | Key capabilities that generate data that is accessible in the flexible notebook include assay data management, entity registration, inventory management, request and task management, bioinformatics tools, cheminformatics tools, molecular biology tools, sequence cloning, high throughput screening, CRO portals, and multistep synthesis planning and more. | PerkinElmer is primarily a hardware company that is no longer investing in informatics software. Customers will also have increased technical debt and cost of ownership to address the capability gaps in screening, CRO engagement tools, scientific data search, synthesis planning, and laboratory request and task management. |
| Workflow Efficiencies | Eliminate the risk and inefficiencies caused by data silos. The Dotmatics platform is uniquely designed to power many different R&D workflows, bridging the gap between systems and external data sources, so scientists can access critical insights without having to move or copy data between systems. | Organizations that use PerkinElmer will have to purchase, manage, and manually share their data across multiple systems to address the gaps of screening, library enumeration, CRO portals, request management, multistep synthesis planning, and depth of search. |
| Scientific Search | Users can manage and share research data from all systems, including Dotmatics, corporate repositories, and third-party data sources all in one place. | The search feature is a bolt-on mashup of functionalities that lacks critical SQL search. |
| Integrations | Dotmatics has created an extensible and configurable system that includes software scientists already incorporate into various workflows, including industry standard tools such as Prism, Geneious, SnapGene. | Does not integrate with other software required for many of the capabilities required to support popular scientific workflows. |
ELN Offering
Research data has value only when you can gain useful insights for analysis or when it’s clean and trustworthy to present for AI / machine learning models. Search should always be the primary consideration, not an afterthought.
Depth of Molecular Biology Capabilities
Dotmatics holds best-of-breed molecular biology applications such as Geneious Prime and SnapGene, as well as GraphPad Prism, the leading tool for scientific data analysis and visualization. The combination of these de facto end-user applications with the comprehensive data centralization and search platform from Dotmatics provides a solution with unprecedented capabilities support.
Depth of Chemistry Capabilities
Dotmatics has a long history of high-performing chemistry capabilities. This is especially important with the rapid emergence of chemically-modified therapeutics, such as antibody-drug conjugates, stapled and bicyclic peptides, and various forms of RNA therapies. The ability of a single informatics platform that inherently supports both biology and chemistry is critical for this type of research.
