Open Instrument Connectivity and Laboratory Automation
As laboratories continue to advance digital and automation strategies, the TRIOS Software REST API provides a flexible foundation for integrating instruments and enterprise systems. Available for the Discovery Hybrid Rheometer, DSC, TGA, and other TRIOS Software-enabled instruments, the API delivers open access to TRIOS Software functionality, supporting greater workflow automation, data integration, and operation standardization.
The TRIOS Software REST API allows organizations to integrate TA Instruments systems with existing laboratory and manufacturing ecosystems, including LIMS, MES, robots, AI tools, and custom applications.

TA Instruments systems can connect with robots, such as a cobot, to drive the same actions available in the TRIOS Software control panel. Integration allows robots to start and stop runs, manage queues and autosamplers, or even manage furnace or gas connections. Waters partners with individual customers or system integrators to enable in-house automation capabilities.
- Complete experimental control
- Reduce human error
- Improve repeatability
- Increase throughput by running more samples
- Option to connect multiple instruments
System integration – interface multiple systems together. Talk to other databases; interface between systems. Synchronize multiple instruments (not easy to do today).
In the evolving world of autonomous labs and AI, the TRIOS Software REST API offers ultimate flexibility to embrace new technologies for higher throughput and faster insights. With automation in place, users can define experimental goals and let the algorithm propose a method, run the experiment, and compare results without human intervention.
- Increase throughput with closed-loop experimentation
- Rapid results for accelerated product development
- Gain new material insights in a fraction of the time
Laboratory science is quickly evolving with new automation technologies. Whether your lab is ready to add automation today or looking to build capability in the future, the TRIOS Software REST API offers the option to incorporate a robot, connect a LIMS, or launch an AI project when you need it. TRIOS Software-enabled instruments are ready for the evolution of lab automation, and Waters is here as your partner to future-proof your investment.
- Turn on REST API only when you need it
- One integration serves all TRIOS Software-enabled instruments
- Option to develop custom apps overlaid with TRIOS Software
With programmatic access, scripts can connect LIMS, ELN, or databases to TRIOS Software, running tests and retrieving complete data records without a proprietary protocol. The system POSTs the sample information and method to TRIOS Software through the API, reducing common setup errors. Results are written into JSON, and the system can then post values for data scientists to use without manual preparation.
- Reduce transcription errors
- Accelerate batch release
- Connect results in one unified record for data science workflows
- Structured JSON export on every run
- No re-keying, no manual file shuffling
TRIOS Software provides a single, standards-based interface for TA Instruments thermal and rheology instruments, simplifying setup and cross-method analysis. The API is standards-based and uses plain REST calls, so there are no proprietary protocols to learn. Developers gain fast, scriptable control through Python client wrappers, OpenAPI, and Swagger Documentation. Scientists benefit from no-code workflows and unified data analysis across the TA Instruments suite.
- Build once and deploy throughout your lab
- Unified JSON data format for every method
- Cross-method workflows do not require separate protocols
- Pre-built instrument connection helpers
- Robotic Integration
