The Work Around the Science
Laboratories are good at the science. It's the tools that get in the way.
Vendor Lock-In
Workflows trapped in proprietary formats cannot be run across instruments or platforms. Changing vendors means starting from scratch.
Technical Barriers
Scientists know what a procedure has to accomplish. Turning that into an executable, validated workflow is a different skill, and it usually belongs to somebody else whose queue is already full.
Compliance Burden
Every workflow validated, every audit trail maintained, and the whole exercise repeated when anything changes. Most of it is still done by hand, in systems that were never designed to agree with one another.
A New Approach
Virgil covers the whole distance. Nothing is handed off to another tool at the point where it gets difficult.
Author
Your scientists describe the procedure the way they would say it aloud, by typing or by voice. Virgil assembles it from building blocks your laboratory has already validated, so the protocol is new but every component in it has been approved.
Prove
Virgil holds a working model of your laboratory — sites, instruments, people, consumables. Run a workflow against it and see duration, throughput, cost per run and where the queue forms, before you commit a sample or a purchase order.
Run
Execute on the real equipment. Virgil confirms every instrument is currently qualified before it starts, and the compliance record is written as the run happens rather than reconstructed afterwards.
Meet Virgil
Named for the poet who guided Dante, Virgil is the guide through the parts of the job that sit between a scientist and their results.
Built to Live in Your Infrastructure
Virgil uses the vocabulary your quality system already runs on: ISA-88 for recipes, ISA-95 for how a site is organized, and electronic records and signatures in the form inspectors expect. It sits alongside your LIMS, ELN and MES. And it owns no instrument drivers, so the control systems you have already validated are left untouched.
See It on Your Own Protocols
Bring a procedure you already run. We will author it, model it against your equipment, and show you what it costs before anyone touches a sample.
