APR – Assay Protocol Registry Software

The Assay & Protocol Registry (APR) serves as a centralized repository for assays and protocols, enabling organizations to validate, version, and access their assays, targets, and SOPs seamlessly. It offers valuable support to life science organizations grappling with the following challenges:

• Facing difficulties in finding their latest SOPs (standard operating procedures), assays, and target information because these are scattered across various personal and departmental folders
• Having assays that lack structure and where there is limited adoption of standardized dictionaries, ontologies, and formats
• Lacking intergroup or interdepartmental visibility for assays and SOPs resulting in duplicated efforts and assays
• Dealing with challenges in streamlining the identification of similar past activities through an assay’s adoption and program history
• Lacking formal assay registration processes (reviewing, approving, versioning, etc.) leading to suboptimal procedures that raise data stewardship concerns

“Assay & Protocol Registry (APR) empowers your organization to centralize and efficiently manage projects, assays, and standard operating procedure (SOP) registries. With APR, users can seamlessly:

• Create, review, approve, and share SOPs with colleagues, external collaborators, or Contract Research Organizations (CROs).
• Categorize assays and data analysis using BioAssay Ontologies and access related assays by their properties, targets, and projects.
• Locate protocols and prevent duplication through multi-parameter search functionality.
• Standardize your organization’s ontologies and dictionaries to structure assays and data.
• Enhance data stewardship across assay development, registration, and execution.
• Easily track the relationships between entities and methods.”
