AI-Summary – News For Tomorrow
Sapio Sciences has launched Sapio ELaiN, the first 3rd-generation Electronic Lab Notebook (ELN) with AI, calling it an AI Lab Notebook (AILN). This innovative ELN integrates AI agents directly into the workflow, offering features like molecular docking simulation, ad hoc data analytics, codon optimization, and small molecule analysis. It also enables experiment execution from protocol descriptions with AI assistance. The continuous development pipeline promises ongoing additions of new scientific functions based on customer feedback. Sapio ELaiN aims to transform scientific work from note-taking to discovery, and it’s available for use immediately.
News summary provided by Gemini AI.
Sapio Sciences, the science-aware AI lab informatics platform, today announced the launch of the world’s first 3rd-generation Electronic Lab Notebook (ELN) that thinks like a scientist, Sapio ELaiN.
Almost one year ago, I predicted that AI would eat the ELN, and with Sapio ELaiN, traditional ELNs are now a thing of the past.

AI-powered capabilities
Sapio ELaiN brings advanced AI agents directly into the lab notebook, giving scientists access to sophisticated capabilities without leaving their workflow. At launch, these include:
- Molecular docking simulation: Perform binding simulations between compounds and targets to accelerate lead identification and optimization — all within the notebook workspace.
- Ad hoc data analytics: Instantly analyze and visualize complex data tables, uncovering trends, patterns, and insights that would otherwise remain hidden.
- Codon optimization: Automatically optimize genetic sequences for expression across different systems, reducing manual effort and accelerating molecular biology workflows.
- Small molecule analysis: Plan retrosynthesis routes, predict toxicity and solubility, and assess buyability with AI-powered chemistry tools integrated directly into the notebook.
- Protocol-based experimentation: Build and execute experiments directly from protocol descriptions in text form, with AI assistance for setup, optimization, and troubleshooting throughout.
- Expanding capabilities: A continuous development pipeline ensures new scientific functions are added regularly, guided by customer feedback and emerging research techniques.
Stop note taking and start discovering. Sapio ELaiN is available to use today. View a demo of Sapio ELaiN here, or contact Sapio here.
