Your science is why we do ours.

We are scientists helping scientists.

Solve the problems slowing your laboratory.

Our software runs in production for clients including UW Veterinary Care, Maine DOT, and NIEHS. Your first step is a thirty-minute conversation with an expert.

THEN · the record is in the drawers A man in a white laboratory coat bends over a monocular microscope at a wooden bench; a rack of cotton-stoppered test tubes, a second microscope, a gooseneck lamp and a glass jar of pipettes stand in front of a wall of small wooden card-file drawers. Archive photograph, 1942.

Who we are

SynapticSci is a team of scientists who turned their curiosity toward how laboratories work and now help diagnostic, testing, and research laboratories run better. Start with the problem in front of you, and we will help you choose the tools that fit.

Labs we help

The laboratories we work with

Choose the kind of laboratory you run to see the problems we meet most often there, how we approach them, and the tools that fit.

Problems we solve

Common problems

These problems come up in more than one of the practices above. Each starts with the question a laboratory asks.

All twelve problems are in the Laboratory Operations catalog, grouped by what goes wrong.

Pricing

How pricing works

We want to talk with you first, to understand the root of your laboratory’s problems. Once we know you and how your laboratory works, we begin our Understand phase and match you with a solution, instead of fitting your problem into a product box from the start.

Everything we sell falls into one of four parts, the same ones your purchasing office already uses.

Licenses
Bought annually, for named users, portal packs, and modules.
Hosting
Bought annually. There is no hosting charge when you run the software in your own Microsoft tenant.
Sustain
A monthly allowance of support hours, priced per year, with a twelve-month minimum.
Project services
Each project has its own statement of work, priced at a fixed scope or as time and materials.

FormSense is available now.

How we work

How a project runs

We deliver modernization in phases, so your laboratory sees a working result before it commits further.

  • Understand

    On-site analysis, a needs summary, user stories, and plans, all before anything is built.

  • Build

    Each release is tested and accepted by your users before the next one begins.

  • Adopt

    Go-live with a support plan, system documentation, and a maintenance plan.

  • Sustain

    A named Laboratory Informatics Scientist improving your system one release at a time.
