Unique to Prodigy Labs

The Prodigy Loop

Most incubators give you space. We give you space plus a closed loop: your bench work, your software, and our accredited testing lab — all connected. Results flow back into your ELN automatically so you spend time on science, not data transfer.

1

Run your experiments

Log work directly in your ELN. Capture samples, link reagent lots, and track inventory — all from your bench without switching tools.

2

Priority testing queue

Submit analytical test requests directly from your ELN. Tenants jump the external client queue — typical turnaround under 3 business days for standard panels.

3

Results back in your ELN

ISO 17025 accreditation pending COAs, raw data, and QC results link directly to the originating experiment. Audit trail complete, no manual import.

No Surprises

What Every Bench Includes

External clients pay per test and manage their own data. Incubator tenants get the whole system wired together — at one flat monthly rate.

Keep your instruments running. We handle the relationship.

Prodigy Labs tenants get preferred access to Innovative Lab Services (ILS) — a nationwide independent instrument service provider with 30+ years and thousands of LC-MS and GC-MS systems maintained coast to coast. When your instrument is down, ILS is on-site within 24–48 hours. James serves as ILS Regional Service Manager, which means you get a direct line — not a support ticket.

  • Preventative maintenance & emergency repair — full-service contracts, PM+ plans, or billable support; parts already in stock
  • IQ/OQ qualifications — compliance documentation for ISO, CLIA, A2LA, and EPA standards
  • Refurbished instruments — ILS sells, installs, and services pre-owned analytical equipment at a fraction of new-instrument cost
  • 24–48 hour on-site response — nationwide coverage, 5 regional offices
