Technology and products
Custom development and support
Semaphore Solutions, Inc. operates as a blend of custom software developer, software support group, and consultancy. The business is able to augment a client's existing software development team, build a laboratory software development team for a client, or provide their own software development expertise to clients.[3] Semaphore also provides post-implementation technical support for Illumina's BaseSpace Clarity LIMS, as well as development of Clarity custom protocols, instrument integrations, system integrations, and integrated add-ons.[4]
Labbit
Labbit is a molecular diagnostics laboratory information management system (LIMS) built on a non-relational graph database as they "are less likely to need major database restructuring due to the inherent flexibility of their structures and the software applications that use them."[5] The company adds that "when you use Labbit, your data is stored FAIRly and with full provenance, resulting in richer data sets and more reliable, more accurate insights over time."[6] However, details about features are limited.
