Thermo Scientific Watson LIMS Software – now enhanced through integration with advanced Red Thread® analytics

For over 20 years, Watson LIMS Software has set the standard for precision, compliance, and reliability in bioanalytical workflows. With version 7.7.2, Watson LIMS Software evolves—delivering stronger security, faster validation, and a foundation for the Next-Gen LIMS era. Watson LIMS Software provides enhanced functionality when used with optional Red Thread® modules by Biodata Solutions—Red Thread Fit™ for regression curve fitting, Red Thread Verge™ for ADA cut-point analysis, and Red Thread Eval™ (coming soon) for study output validation—delivering advanced, audit-ready analytics experience.  

 

From global pharma to agile biotech and CROs, Watson LIMS Software empowers scientists to work with confidence, accelerate decisions, and drive productivity—today and into the future.

Key features of Watson LIMS Software version 7.7.2

  • Security & stability: Encryption, single sign-on via Thermofisher.com for robust, reliable performance.
  • Compliance & audit trail: Enhanced traceability and regulatory alignment (GLP, 21 CFR Part 11).
  • Advanced analytics: Red Thread® modules — Red Thread Fit™, Red Thread Verge™, and Red Thread Eval™ (coming soon)— unlock regression accuracy, defensible ADA cut points, and automated validation.
  • Future-ready: Foundation for modular, SaaS-based Next-Gen LIMS capabilities.

Advanced Red Thread analytics

Enhance functionality with the optional Red Thread modules for an advanced analytics experience. Designed by experts to meet the highest standards of bioanalytical rigor, Red Thread is ISO 27001 certified, SOC 2 Type 2 attested, fully validated, and compliant with 21 CFR Part 11, FDA, and EMA guidelines.

 

Red Thread Fit Module

Automated curve fitting for accuracy and precision in PK assays

Red Thread Fit Module simplifies the iterative regression analysis of calibration curve data by automatically identifying the best-fit model for accuracy and precision (A&P) runs in pharmacokinetic (PK) assays. Supporting small and large molecules, Red Thread Fit applies statistical modelling to ensure optimal regression model selection. This reduces manual effort, improves consistency, and aligns with FDA and EMA bioanalytical method validation guidance — helping teams make confident, data-driven decisions faster.

 

Red Thread Verge Module

Automated ADA statistical analysis for cut point, sensitivity, and LPC

Red Thread Verge Module accelerates anti-drug antibody (ADA) assay workflows by automating the complex statistical analysis required to determine cut point, sensitivity, and low positive control (LPC). Built on FDA and EMA immunogenicity guidance, Verge eliminates manual statistical calculations and reduces variability, delivering consistent, validated results in minutes. By standardizing ADA data interpretation, Verge enhances compliance, improves reproducibility, and supports faster decision-making in regulated bioanalytical environments.

 

Red Thread Eval Module (coming soon)

Automated scientific review and audit of PK data

Red Thread Eval Module streamlines the scientific review and auditing of pharmacokinetic data by automatically flagging results as compliant, non-compliant, or requiring further review. Built on FDA and EMA guidance and industry best practices, Eval supports objective decision-making and reduces manual review time by 85% or more. By standardizing and automating the audit processes and enhancing traceability, Eval ensures consistent and high-quality data interpretation across bioanalytical studies.
