PerkinElmer Inc. manufacture environmental- and health-based products, including the development and distribution of laboratory informatics software solutions.


History

Acquisitions

In March 2011 PerkinElmer announced the purchase of CambridgeSoft Corporation, which now essentially acts as a subsidiary.[1] CambridgeSoft products like ChemBioOffice, ChemDraw, and ChemOffice, E-Notebook, and iLAB maintained their identities[2], while Workflow LIMS was seemingly phased out by the end of 2011[3], likely in favor of LABWORKS LIMS.

PerkinElmer completed the purchase of ArtusLabs, Inc. in the spring of 2011, acquiring with it the Ensemble ELN.[4] (Ensemble used to be a separate ELN[5]; however, it seems the Ensemble name was later taken for Perkin Elmer's new suite, with E-notebook taking the place of the Ensemble ELN.)

A few months later the company announced it had acquired Labtronics Inc. and its Nexxis ELN.[6]However, sometime after April 2013 PerkinElmer stopped offering the Nexxis ELN product.

The company acquired Integromics SL in July 2014 after a year before signing an exclusive distribution contract with the company.[7][8][9] The Integromics website went dark in early 2017 and the company and its OmicsOffice LIMS is presumed to be fully integrated into PerkinElmer.

In April 2017, the company announced the launch of its cloud-based Signals Notebook ELN software.[10]

Divestments

Former PerkinElmer developer Paul Fjeldsted, who left Perkin in 2015 to make his own consulting company LabVikings, gathered a development team and approached PerkinElmer about acquiring its LABWORKS laboratory information management system (LIMS). He later explained "[t]he Labworks employees were tired of seeing a lack of focus and investment in the Labworks product so they partnered with experienced industry executives along with private investors and made the case to PKI that the Labworks product and customers deserved better."[11] The offer was formally accepted on March 3, 2016[11], though a public press release wasn't issued until May 11, stating that newly created company Labworks, LLC would take control of the software.[12]

Technology and products

Chromera, E-Notebook, iLAB, OmicsOffice, and Signals Notebook

Chromera is a chromatography data management system (CDMS) that has been "developed keeping UHPLC specifically in mind, and can be configured for simultaneous multi-detector/multi-channel operation for the ultimate in sample analysis and component identification."[13] The software feature setup, integration, and reporting wizards; "real-time multichannel data processing"; instrument management; customizable visualizations; workflow management; and graphic visualization and development of methods.[14]

E-Notebook is an electronic laboratory notebook (ELN) originally created by CambridgeSoft Corporation and now a core component of the Ensemble laboratory informatics suite of applications.[15] The ELN strives to "[enhance] personal productivity and [improve] data quality while at the same time protecting intellectual property and creating a shareable archive to foster collaboration and innovation."[16]

iLAB is a laboratory execution system that "provides QA/QC laboratories with a structured platform that eliminates paper while automating and controlling testing procedures." The system automates routine testing procedures, integrates with other software systems, and utilizes electronic worksheets "for investigations, audits or to demonstrate adherence to regulatory compliance requirements."[17]

OmicsOffice is a laboratory information management system "for every step in your genomics data analysis, enabling you to load and process raw data – external and vendor specific – and perform the steps common to expression analysis."[18]

Signals Notebook is a cloud-based ELN that allows you to "write up your research data in notebooks and experiments, drag & drop, store, organize, share, find and filter data with chemical ease."[19]
