Since its creation, LabKey has partnered with several entities to spread word of open-source [[proteomics]] and other analysis tools to research facilities. In May 2008, LabKey lent support to Seattle businesses Insilicos and the Institute for Systems Biology (ISB). The goal of the collaboration was to port proteomics software tools like LabKey Server through Amazon's cloud servers, allowing potential research groups with IT budgets to utilize the proteomics applications and scale up web service as demand grows.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://insilicos.com/news/insilicos-awarded-grant-for-life-science-computing |title=Insilicos Awarded Grant for Life Science Computing |publisher=Insilicos LLC |date=5 May 2008 |accessdate=20 April 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.genomeweb.com/informatics/insilicos-partners-labkey-isb-port-proteomics-software-tools-amazon’s-cloud |title=Insilicos Partners with LabKey, ISB to Port Proteomics Software Tools to Amazon’s Cloud |author=Toner, Bernadette |publisher=Genomeweb LLC |date=9 May 2008 |accessdate=20 April 2012}}</ref> A few months later, LabKey announced another collaboration, this time with the Microsoft BioIT Alliance, an association of life science organizations and informatics companies focused on accelerating the pace of drug discovery and development.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.businesswire.com/news/google/20080918005145/en |title=LabKey Software Joins BioIT Alliance |publisher=Business Wire |date=18 September 2012 |accessdate=20 April 2012}}</ref>

LabKey Corporation (operating as LabKey[1]) partners with biomedical research organizations to develop commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) and custom software solutions that help scientists integrate, analyze, and securely share complex research information.

LabKey Software solutions are built on the LabKey Server open-source platform, which has been developed for over 15 years.[2][3] The company originated at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center (FHCRC) and has offices in Seattle, Washington.[3].

History

The open source project that became LabKey Server began in a proteomics lab at the FHCRC in late 2003.[3] In January 2005, the project's founders collaborated with the FHCRC to incorporate LabKey Software in order to make support and extension services for the platform more easily accessible to groups beyond the FHCRC.[3][4]

In 2011, LabKey Sofware began holding the annual LabKey User Conference to help members of the LabKey Server user community "share their experiences, learn from each other, and apply new knowledge to their scientific data management challenges."[5]

By 2013, more than 70 installations of LabKey Server supported research organizations all over the world.[6][7] Many of these groups collaborate with LabKey Software to enhance their data management tools and processes, including the FHCRC, the HIV Vaccine Trials Network (HVTN), the Collaboration for AIDS Vaccine Discovery (CAVD), NWBioTrust, the Human Immunology Project Consortium (HIPC), the International Center of Excellence in Malaria Research (ICEMR) at the University of Washington, the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) Network for Pancreatic Organ Donors (nPOD), and the Immune Tolerance Network (ITN).[5][7][8]

In July 2014, the National Academies of Science recognized the ITN's installation of LabKey Server—ITN TrialShare—for exceptional innovation in research data management. The installation also won the Board on Research and Data and Information contest for the most outstanding model of "Using Data for the Public Good."[9]

In August 2022, the company announced the release of its LabKey ELN (electronic laboratory notebook), to be fully integrated with the company's LabKey Biologics LIMS and LabKey Sample Manager solutions.[10]

Technology and products

LabKey Biologics LIMS, ELN, Sample Manager, and Server

LabKey Biologics LIMS is a cloud-based laboratory information management system (LIMS) that "enables biotechs and biopharma research teams to capture, manage and track their samples, data, biological entities, and workflows in a single user-friendly application" while helping them "eliminate data silos, improve collaboration, and accelerate their R&D."[11] The Enterprise edition can be installed on-premises.[11]

LabKey ELN is an ELN "designed to help scientists efficiently document their experiments and share their ongoing research."[12] It is integrated with LabKey Biologics LIMS and the Professional Edition of Sample Manager.[13]

LabKey Sample Manager is a cloud-based sample management solution "providing complete sample tracking, freezer management, lab workflow management, and compliance features to fit labs of all sizes."[14] It is integrated with Premium Editions of LabKey Server, and it includes ELN functionality in the Professional and Enterprise Editions of LabKey Server.[15]

LabKey Server is a cloud-based scientific data management system (SDMS) "designed to help research organizations manage and analyze their scientific data," supporting all other LabKey solutions.[16] The software comes in a commercial version and a free open-source community version. LabKey Server has features such as support for numerous integrations, data visualization, reporting, role-based security, fine-grained data visibility control, and APIs.[16]

For more information on the free open-source version of LabKey Server, please see the LabKey Server LIMSwiki page.
