LabWare, Inc. develops and distributes enterprise laboratory informatics software solutions.

History

LabWare was founded in 1987 by mechanical engineer and entrepreneur Vance Kershner, who "targeted the laboratory automation space as something [he] could contribute to because it was not very effective at the time."[1]

By 2013, the company estimated it had captured close to a quarter of worldwide sales of laboratory information management systems. (LIMS)[1]

On March 8, 2015, the company announced version 7.0 of its LabWare LIMS and ELN, featuring performance enhancement, functionality improvements, a new user interface, and improved mobile support.[2]

Sometime in the spring or summer of 2020, LabWare introduced LabWare GROW, a modified version of LabWare LIMS for cannabis testing labs.[3] This seems to have occurred shortly after introducing it's cloud-based LabWare LIMS solution in early 2020.[4]

Awards

LabWare won the Scientific Computing and Instrumentation's Readers' Choice Award in the laboratory information management system (LIMS) category each year from 2000 to 2008.[5][6]

LabWare LIMS won a Frost & Sullivan Product Quality Leadership Award in 2004, and the company won Frost and Sullivan's "2008 European Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS) Company of the Year Award."[7][8]

Technology and products

LabWare ELN, LabWare LIMS, and LabWare GROW

LabWare ELN is an electronic laboratory notebook (ELN) "designed to give laboratory scientists the ultimate platform to electronically document their experiments, including relevant scientific content and observations, instrument results, and attachments such as spectra, chromatograms and, if appropriate, chemical structures."[9]

LabWare LIMS is a laboratory information management system (LIMS) that is "configurable or pre-configured for laboratories of all types and sizes."[10] The software consists of the core LIMS application with access to LabWare's library of LIMS software modules. The software also includes clinical, LIS-like functionality.[11]

LabWare GROW is a modified version of LabWare LIMS but designed for cannabis testing.[12] The platform is advertised to help "cannabis and hemp product manufacturers, providers, and testing laboratories."[13] Features that help these labs include interfacing with third-party platforms and software solutions (e.g., seed-to-sale, ERP), industry-tailored test workflows, integration with analytical instruments, an analytical documentation library, and support for ISO/IEC 17025, including document management, training management, and corrective action management.[12] The LIMS is cloud-based and appears to be one of the first cloud-based offerings offered by LabWare.

Pricing

Source for pricing information is GSA Advantage. 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 company's GSA price list is 71 pages long and too much to post in this space. See the price list for all GSA pricing options: LabWare's GSA price list
