Instem LSS Limited develops and distributes laboratory informatics software solutions.

History

The Centrus LIMS solution for early drug development was phased out sometime in 2015.[1]

On September 1, 2021, Instem announced that it had acquired PDS Group Holding AG. Noting that "PDS has been a direct competitor of Instem," and the desire "to concentrate our investment into a single line of products," in their press release[2], it is unsurprising that the Ascentos product of PDS is no longer showing on the website (as of 2023), and an "end-of-life policy" for Ascentos exists.[3]

Technology and products

Logbook and Provantis

Logbook is an electronic laboratory notebook (ELN) designed as "a safe, secure repository for a wide range of information that would traditionally be kept on paper notebooks and forms."[4]

Provantis is a laboratory information management system (LIMS) that "streamlines processes and workflows with straightforward, intuitive functionality for simple and complex studies within a GLP or non-GLP environment."[5]

Both products are available as self-hosted applications or software as a service subscriptions.[6]

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.
