Overview

LabLynx, Inc. is a privately owned, funded and managed company. The company was spun off from an IT consulting company in July of 2000 after being a division of that parent company since 1997. The spin off was executed by the IT consulting company selling off the LabLynx division to a private, family investment group. LabLynx was then formally incorporated in July of 2000, in the State of Georgia. LabLynx is debt-free and operates with a healthy positive cash flow. Details are available in confidentiality upon specific request.

History

The timeline above illustrates the history of LabLynx, Inc., from initial development in 1995/96, through introduction of the world’s first true web browser-based LIMS in 1997, and continual leading edge technological progression. Today, as ever, we lead the industry in adopting SOA and the general XML-based paradigms which the largest and most advanced companies like Yahoo, Google, Microsoft and others are committed to. Our implementation and support have always been comprehensive from the start, but we also offer our services a la carte, so that you can decide the most economical/efficient balance between your own personnel and ours.

We constantly strive to improve not only our products and services, but even our delivery methods. LabLynx is alone in offering choices of system delivery, with options regarding licensing:

1. Purchase license, host on your server
2. Purchase license, host at LabLynx state-of-the-art Data Center
3. Subscribe (SaaS), host at LabLynx Data Center (no license fee)

The core LabLynx team has combined software development and laboratory management experience of over 75 years. LabLynx spent nearly 10 man-years of development creating a system that is like no other Laboratory Informatics System today. It has been built from the ground up to provide a long lasting value to our laboratory customers. LabLynx developed the latest version of the LabLynx Informatics Server with key partner customers in Joint Application Development, so that it represents real world functionality and reliability. It currently serves in many validated environments, including 21 CFR part 11, CAP, ISO/IEC 17025, FDA and EPA-regulated and GALP, in compliance with such standards as HIPAA, HL7, STORENETS and more.

Elab

Out-of-the-box, the LabLynx ELab LIMS suite provides our customers with a full range of functionality, modules, and components that allows each laboratory to manage its own unique workflow, user interface, and data handling. The use of Internet technology allows LabLynx to deliver cost-effective, powerful solutions to meet the operational needs, enterprise-wide information sharing, and functionality requirements for laboratories in the manufacturing, agricultural, water/wastewater, forensics, food & beverage, environmental, petrochemical and pharmaceutical industries.

LabLynx knows that the technology foundation that is chosen for our customers' Informatics Solution, will directly impact its usefulness both now and in the future. That is why the LabLynx Informatics Server architecture and technology foundation protects our customers' investments now and in the future. The ELab suite is built using industry standard tools and readily available components in a Data-Driven, Service-Oriented Architecture. It is an integration of multiple applications and components into a single cohesive framework. This offers our customers the flexibility to easily update or change their system as they see fit.

How We Function

From the beginning, LabLynx has taken a different approach to building our company. To better understand our customers' needs, we built a team of laboratory, engineering, and business professionals to help design and develop LIMS solutions that are used by laboratory professionals from all industries. Our team includes laboratory professionals with experience as chemists, lab project managers, laboratory QA/QC officers, commercial laboratory managers, and chemical and process engineers.

This experience allows us to have valuable first-hand understanding of the processes, workflows, and mandatory regulatory requirements that laboratories must observe.

LabLynx works with all of our clients as partners and stakeholders in our joint success. Services such as requirements gathering, Gap Analysis, installation and setup assistance, report writing, instrument and external application interfacing, data migration, and training help ensure a successful implementation and rewarding Return On Investment for the customer. And we work with each customer individually to provide just the right combination of services and product to tailor the LIMS solution to their unique and specific requirements and preferences.

This approach has proved to be a winning one for all involved. In the past three years, during difficult economic times generally as many businesses have struggled and far too many failed, LabLynx has doubled its revenue each year. More and more, labs are beginning to understand that it is no longer necessary to spend six and seven figures on a LIMS. The LabLynx ELab LIMS offers full enterprise-class functionality for any size lab, from single users to multi-site global corporations, at a fraction of traditionally overhead-heavy pricing. This is achieved through the use of efficient, transparent business methods and the leveraging of effective, leading edge technology.
