TetraScience Launches Tetra Workflows to Automate Scientific Data Workflows at Scale

BOSTON, Aug. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- TetraScience, the Scientific Data and AI Cloud company, today announced the launch of Tetra Workflows, a comprehensive solution that fundamentally transforms how laboratories manage and automate scientific data workflows at scale. Built on TetraScience's next-generation Scientific Data Management System (SDMS), the platform addresses the critical challenge facing global life sciences organizations: eliminating the manual, error-prone processes that delay critical discoveries and slow time to clinic.

Modern laboratories are drowning in data management complexity. Scientists across pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and life sciences organizations waste up to 40% of their time on manual data movement between instruments, electronic lab notebooks (ELNs), laboratory information management systems (LIMSs), and laboratory execution systems (LESs). This manual approach creates a cascade of errors and discovery delays that directly impact scientific outcomes.

"Scientists should be focused on science, not wrestling with data management," said Simon Meffan-Main, General Manager at TetraScience. "Tetra Workflows transforms how labs handle data by automating the entire journey from initial collection to seamless access through any ELN, LIMS, or LES, enabling scientists to focus on what they do best: advancing human health through breakthrough discoveries."

Tetra Workflows enables laboratories to orchestrate and automate data workflows from instruments to lab informatics software at unprecedented scale and reliability. The platform encompasses the entire journey of scientific data, from initial collection and input through storage, analysis, and reporting, ensuring data quality, reliability, consistency, traceability, and efficiency throughout the process.

The solution includes four breakthrough capabilities designed to eliminate manual processes and accelerate scientific discovery:

AI-Powered Workflow Creation Assistant
The Workflow Creation Assistant uses AI to enable intelligent workflow creation, allowing both IT professionals and scientists to map engineered data to LIMS or ELN systems without complex scripting. This revolutionary capability delivers 40% faster creation of custom integrations with the ability to proactively identify data anomalies and quality issues before deployment. The Workflow Creation Assistant democratizes the ability to create sophisticated data workflows and makes scientists self-sufficient in building their own automated processes.

Visual Pipeline Builder
The Visual Pipeline Builder provides intuitive no-code and low-code tools that enable users to quickly build automated data operations and transformations through a graphical interface. Users can deploy new pipelines directly from the application, creating 100% faster development of custom multi-step pipelines and new types of integrations. This visual approach eliminates the need for specialized programming knowledge while maintaining enterprise-grade functionality and reliability.

Tetra Data Capture App
The Tetra Data Capture App addresses a critical gap in laboratory digitization by capturing data from simple instruments like balances and pH meters that lack export capabilities. Using advanced photo capture technology, the app automatically uploads results to the correct records and combines them with metadata into analysis-ready datasets. This capability ensures that no data is lost in the digitization process and enables comprehensive workflow automation across all laboratory instruments.

Library of Proven Recipes
The platform includes hundreds of pre-configured "recipes" that bundle proven pipelines and automations for common use cases. These recipes enable rapid deployment or customization, allowing organizations to leverage the collective experience of the scientific community rather than building everything from scratch. The library covers integrations with leading systems including Benchling, Revvity Signals, IDBS, Veeva Vault LIMS, and hundreds of scientific instruments.

Transformative Results: Early Adopters See Dramatic Improvements
Early adopters of Tetra Workflows are experiencing transformative results that demonstrate the platform's ability to revolutionize scientific data management: 90% reduction in implementation time, 40% increase in lab productivity, 75% reduction in error rates, and 60% fewer steps in scientific workflows.

Unlike generic middleware solutions that treat all data equally, Tetra Workflows is purpose-built specifically for the unique challenges of scientific data management. The platform understands the intricacies of scientific instruments, the complexity of regulatory requirements, and the specific needs of life sciences organizations.

Key differentiators include deep understanding of scientific file formats, instrument protocols, and laboratory workflows; built-in support for GxP, 21 CFR Part 11, and other critical life sciences regulations; pre-built connectors for hundreds of scientific instruments and software systems; seamless bidirectional data movement to and from any ELN, LIMS, or LES system; and scalable architecture designed to handle the massive data volumes generated by modern scientific research.

Built for Scientists and Scientific IT 
Tetra Workflows delivers value across the entire organization, addressing the specific needs of both scientific and IT personnel. Scientists gain instant access to data through context-aware metadata, simplified automated workflows, self-service no-code tools for building custom workflows, automated data integrity and compliance, and more time to focus on actual research rather than data management.

Scientific IT teams benefit from replacing brittle point-to-point integrations with a centralized platform, using a library of productized workflows to eliminate custom development, reducing IT burden through self-service capabilities for scientists, and implementing a modern, scalable platform that supports digital transformation initiatives.

Tetra Workflows is available immediately for existing TetraScience customers with no additional pricing beyond existing Platform licenses. This approach reflects TetraScience's commitment to providing comprehensive value to the scientific community and accelerating adoption of automated data workflows across the life sciences industry.

"We believe that advanced scientific data workflow automation should be accessible to all organizations working to improve human health," added Meffan-Main. "By including Tetra Workflows in our existing platform licensing, we're removing barriers to adoption and enabling more laboratories to focus on scientific discovery rather than data management challenges."
