History

Technology and products

LABVANTAGE

LABVANTAGE is a laboratory information management system (LIMS) "tailored to manage your organization's critical information across multiple laboratory facilities in order to optimize productivity and share knowledge more effectively."[1]

LABVANTAGE's LIMS offerings were formerly called SAPPHIRE and SQL*LIMS. In the summer of 2011, the company rebranded these LIMS offerings to its company namesake.[2]

Features

The following feature list(s) is/are derived solely from public, freely-available online information the vendor provides. A lack of a "Y" does not necessarily mean that the product doesn't have that feature. The lack of a "Y" could mean:
  • the vendor chose to not put relevant feature information online despite its existence in the product.
  • the vendor chooses to make the feature information available only to those who create an account or call/e-mail.
  • the feature information exists online to the public, but a URL could not be found to cite the existence of the feature.
  • the feature does not exist for the product.
A vendor's product may receive more confirmed features with the addition of more public information to the vendor's site and/or by providing a URL to a page or document that can act as a citation for the existence of the feature. Prospective buyers are highly recommended to contact the vendor directly to verify features as this list isn't authoritative, and product upgrades and changes happen rapidly in some cases.

Pricing

Source for pricing information is the 2012 LIMS Buyer's Guide.[4] As prices may change at any time, always contact the vendor directly to obtain a price list or quote.

Note: These are U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) prices, and as such they represent the lowest possible negotiated price. These prices aren't available to any entity outside of the Federal Government, and thus prices for non-government entities will be higher. If anything, they represent the lowest possible negotiated price.


The GSA prices as of mid-April 2012 all reference the product "SAPPHIRE," which is the old name of "LABVANTAGE 6."[2] Therefore, it is not clear if these prices apply to the LABVANTAGE 6 product. As always, contact the vendor for specific details on pricing.
