Streamlining Digitalization Across the Value Chain and Entire Organizations with L7|HUB®

by Brandon Varela, MSc. | posted on July 29, 2024

Current scientific methods, experiments, and recipes are often still stored and exchanged in PDF and Word document formats within document management solutions such as SharePoint and Box.net. With the rapid pace of digitalization, these approaches of methods management face many challenges, not the least because of the growing volume, complexity, and the many versions of scientific content created in the context of research, development, manufacturing of therapeutics, and diagnostic test development. This is more pronounced as multiple teams are actively collaborating and exchanging methods, recipes, and analytical methods across different departments and even organizations. Effective collaboration and tech transfer across these global, diverse teams, requires managing digitalized scientific protocols, their versioning, multi-step approval processes, and secure deployment of scientific content from development through validation into production.

Embrace the Future of Scientific Collaboration

Often, multiple teams need to collaborate on projects, whether it’s developing a new diagnostic test or transferring manufacturing protocols between departments or organizations. The key to success lies in effective collaboration, secure deployment, and precise management of digitalized scientific methods and protocols.

L7|HUB: Your Solution to Digitalization Challenges

L7|HUB is revolutionizing scientific protocol management with its comprehensive, no-code, and intuitive collaboration and deployment tool. As an integral part of the Unified Platform L7|ESP®, L7|HUB streamlines collaborations, accelerates the deployment of standard methods and protocols, and supports the digitalization of scientific operations across research, diagnostics, and manufacturing sectors. L7|HUB is a “one-stop shop” that serves as a robust repository of configurable scientific digital content, including data models, workflows, applications, and instrument pipelines, making it an essential resource for regulated scientific organizations.

L7|HUB, with its intuitive interface and streamlined digitalization process, reduces the time to achieve research, development, and manufacturing goals and enables the FAIRification** of scientific assets of an enterprise organization.

Key Features of L7|HUB

1. Centralized Repository: Organize all scientific methods, data and process models, and instrument and equipment connectors in one place. Allows individuals and entire organizations to centralize and streamline internal protocols and methods (e.g., SOPs) sharing, including scientific methods, recipes, data models, and instrument and equipment pipelines.
2. Rich Digital Content: Access a vast compendium of ready-to-use digital scientific protocols and methods. Provides access to a growing repertoire of configurable standard workflows provided by L7 Informatics.
3. Efficient Sharing: Centralize and streamline the sharing of internal protocols and methods (e.g., SOPs) across teams and entire organizations.
4. Content Mobility: Easily move and share content between L7|ESP instances.
5. Content Comparison: Compare scientific methods and protocols – compare changes and approve prior to publishing for validation and production.

Benefits of L7|HUB

• Organized Methods: Keep all scientific methods in one, access-controlled location.
• Integrated Search: Discover relevant protocols quickly with integrated search and filter capabilities.
• Informed Decisions: Compare scientific methods and protocols to make informed decisions, installing only those that most closely align with the operation of choice.
• Time Efficiency: Reduce the time spent finding and deploying methods and protocols.
• Seamless Collaboration: Share methods and protocols effortlessly with collaborators across teams and departments, and across the entire organization.
• User-Friendly: Easily collaborate and deploy digital methods and protocols without the need for advanced technical skills (i.e., reduces the need for technical expertise or to host code).
• Tech Transfer: Efficiently share and move data model definitions between L7|ESP servers and reduce the time it takes to digitalize scientific operations.
• Streamlined SDLC: Accelerate tech transfer, increase collaboration, and improve reusability of science. Optimize all steps of the solution development SDLC, from exploring and accessing standard digital scientific protocols, to collaborating to make revisions and develop new digital scientific methods, and to securely promoting approved digital scientific protocols.

Who Can Benefit from L7|HUB?

• Research scientists, pipeline and process developers, and IT infrastructure and laboratory managers across drug research, development, manufacturing, and clinical diagnostics that use, develop, optimize, and share digitalized scientific protocols.
• Therapeutics research, development, manufacturing, and diagnostics lab managers that need to control the deployment of new digitalized scientific protocols and SOPs.
• CROs and CDMOs that need to efficiently transfer/exchange methods and technology from one site to another or with clients and collaborators.
