Two Fold Software Limited developed and distributed business and laboratory management software solutions.

History

Disillusioned with existing laboratory information management system (LIMS) options, Two Fold Software Limited was founded in 2008 with the focus of developing, selling, and supporting a LIMS offering that was flexible and feature-rich.[1] The company worked with a variety of global partners in numerous countries.[2][3][4] Among such partnerships was Two Fold's joining with Denmark's OBI Medical to create middleware v-TAC Connect to support OBI's v-TAC, which converts venous blood sample results to accurate arterial blood sample results.[5] This partnership resulted in the two companies forming a consortium and achieving EuroStars funding for the project in 2016.[6]

In late 2018, the company seems to have abruptly closed. The company was declared insolvent on November 26, 2018[7], and it began the liquidation process in early December.[8]

Technology and products

Qualoupe LIMS

Qualoupe LIMS was a LIMS "built from the ground up to meet the requirements of modern laboratories."[9] The software featured more than 30 applications or modules and was advertised as being suitable for laboratories of all sizes.
