LabVantage Solutions, Inc. develops and distributes enterprise laboratory informatics software solutions.
History
LabVantage started off as Axiom Systems, which in April 1997 acquired Laboratory MicroSystems from Instron Corp. and formed a new company LabVantage Solutions.[1][2] LabVantage made another acquisition later that year, absorbing Automated Compliance Systems into its portfolio. By 1999 the company had decided to replace or rebrand most of its products with the "Sapphire" product line, featuring a configurable PC-based client-server architecture.[2] In the summer of 2011, the company rebranded its Sapphire and SQL*LIMS products to its company namesake.[3]
The company had a change of leadership in June 2013 with the introduction of Peter Bailey as the new CEO.[4]
Sometime in March 2019, the company removed mention of its eNotebook electronic laboratory notebook (ELN).[5] Rather than be discontinued, it appears the ELN may have been integrated into its existing LabVantage 8 platform, describing it as "a combination of laboratory information management [system] (LIMS), electronic lab notebook (ELN), and lab execution system (LES)."[6]
In February 2020, the company announced it had integrated its scientific data management system (SDMS) solution into the LabVantage platform.[7] In March 2020, the company announced that its full LabVantage platform would be available under the software as a service (SaaS) distribution model: "customers pay a simple subscription fee to access the entire LabVantage platform – laboratory information management system (LIMS), electronic laboratory notebook (ELN), laboratory execution system (LES) and scientific data management system (SDMS)."[8]
Old technology
eNotebook was an ELN that "automates and expedites your data entry process and operations."[5]
Technology and products
LabVantage 8
LabVantage 8 is a combination LIMS, ELN, and LES designed to "help lab managers, scientists, and technicians better manage everything from instruments and materials to experiments and reports to regulatory and data integrity."[6] It can be hosted on your own equipment or hosted in the cloud with LabVantage.[9] The software comes in several editions[10]:
- LabVantage Pharma, a pre-validated solution for the pharmaceutical industry
- LabVantage Food & Beverage, for food and beverage testing and compliance
- LabVantage Oil & Gas, for petrochemical testing and safety tracking
- LabVantage Biobanking, for biorepository management and collection
- LabVantage Diagnostics, for diagnostic labs handling numerous workflow types
- LabVantage Quality, for "customers across industries looking to go live quickly"
Base features of LabVantage 8 include:
- information management and tracking for samples, reagents, compounds, specifications, experiments, tasks, projects, studies, subjects, protocols, etc.
- integration with numerous third-party instruments and systems
- graphical workflow design and process automation
- compliance with government regulations and other standards
