Lab in a Box: Automated Data Compliance for Biotech

Critical lab data often remains isolated, manual, and non-compliant.
Secure transfer from instruments to cloud with full regulatory compliance.

The Problem: Disconnected Lab Data

Biotech labs face real barriers in data accessibility, compliance, and connectivity—here’s what’s going wrong.

Local Data Storage

Instruments save locally, risking loss or corruption

Compliance Gaps

Manual handling breaks audit trails

Siloed Information

Researchers can’t access crucial outputs

Complex Integrations

IT teams struggle with lab-to-cloud connectivity

The Solution: Lab in a Box

Physical Components

  • AWS Storage Gateway in lab
  • DataSync agents for transfers
  • Site-to-site VPN connectivity

Cloud Infrastructure

  • GxP-configured S3 buckets
  • Encryption and versioning
  • Transit Gateway for routing

Identity Integration

  • Entra ID (Azure AD) integration
  • Named-user access controls
  • Full data provenance tracking

How It Works: Architecture Flow

This four-step flow ensures security, compliance, and efficiency from lab to cloud.


  1. Connect

    VPN established between lab and AWS Landing Zone


  2. Authenticate

    Directory Services integrates with Entra ID


  3. Capture

    Instruments write to CIFS on Storage Gateway


  4. Secure

    S3 enforces versioning, logging, and GxP policies
