Merck KGaA—operating as Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany in Europe and MilliporeSigma in North America—is a pharmaceutical, chemical, and life sciences business operating in close to 70 countries.

History

The company was reportedly founded in 1668 and remains "the oldest pharmaceutical and chemical company in the world."[1] In recent times, the company is notable for its acquisition of Millipore Corp. in 2010[2] and Sigma-Aldrich in 2015, which combined with Millipore would become MilliporeSigma in North America.[3]

Technology and products

BrightLab

BrightLab is a cloud-based laboratory informatics solution that is designed to enable researchers to "control all aspects of the experiment lifecycle from a single, easy-to-configure platform." [4] BrightLab combines electronic laboratory notebook (ELN) functionality with integrated modules for inventory and request management, Sigma-Aldrich ordering, and instrument scheduling.[4]

In addition, BrightLab allows users the option to connect their instrument data to their ELN via its scientific data management system (SDMS), which can "automate the capturing, tagging, storing, parsing, and analyzing of data." [4] The software is hosted in the cloud as a software as a service (SaaS) distribution model.
