Connect your data with confidence

From culture to cure

Seamless data flow is the key to unlocking the full potential of your scientific data. Our strategy is clear – simplify connectivity across the lab ecosystem, whether you’re working with lab instruments, enterprise systems or complex databases – to bring data together, drive actionable insights and scale with confidence.

IDBS Polar offers a robust framework for system and data connectivity. Polar enables scientists to ingest their raw data, process it and combine with other contextual data within the platform to provide a complete and accurate record of the laboratory process. The result? Increased operational efficiency, enhanced data integrity and accurate, up to date information at your fingertips.

Our integration framework leverages an extensible data backbone to seamlessly connect data across lab workflows – simplifying integration management and configuration while supporting large, diverse datasets. This enables higher throughput, greater automation and faster scientific outcomes. Combined with our deep domain expertise, proven technical capabilities and experienced Professional Services team, we deliver implementations designed for your success.

Accelerate time to milestone by accelerating the Lab Loop

Modern R&D is continuous, iterative and follows a cycle from planning to insight. The Polar integrations framework – along with its extensive library of pre-built connectors and feature-rich, well-documented APIs – seamlessly connects your critical systems to Polar. With one-way and two-way data flows, it reduces friction, shortens cycles and speeds up the lab loop – accelerating innovation.

From flexible low-code/no-code configurations to simple instruments, to generic tools and extension points for complex scenarios, we provide the platform to connect your data, automate processes and drive outcomes.

Powered by the data backbone, we provide the ability to standardize, align and sync data real-time, seamlessly transitioning scientists from experiment execution to the insight they need.

Smart, connected workflows

Connect instruments and systems directly through a single platform that unifies data and workflows – one UI, one login, fewer clicks and faster execution.

Flexible integration options

Easily connect via text file imports (JSON, .CSV), Websockets, SQL/JDBC, OPC and more for comprehensive and adaptable connectivity.

Rich context and metadata

Automatically link product and project data to instrument data while maintaining full experiment and metadata awareness – no coding required.

Real-time data synchronization

Keep data continuously up to date with robust APIs and shared ontologies that enable automatic, two-way integration with third-party systems.

AI-ready, high-quality data

Eliminate manual transcription and improve data integrity by automating ingestion and processing, combining data with context for AI-driven insights.

Confidence in GxP compliance

Rely on proven technical controls and deep GxP expertise to manage change efficiently as new versions, workflows and instruments evolve.
