Aquatic Informatics, Inc. develops and distributes laboratory informatics water data management and analysis software solutions. It also provides support to various Hach Company software solutions as part of Danaher Corporation's Water Quality Platform.[1]

History

The company was formally founded in 2003 by biologist Edward Quilty.[2][3]

In 2015, the company was ranked 38 among Deloitte’s fastest growing companies in Canada.[4] The company itself stated revenues growth by 30 percent and a doubling of the company’s size to 80 people.[3]

In November 2015, the company announced the transition of its AQUARIUS platform to hosted via the software as a service (SaaS) distribution model.[5] In April 2016, the company announced an expansion of its AQUARIUS suite with the addition of its SaaS-based sample management add-on.[6]

In July 2020, the Danaher Corporation announced it had acquired Aquatic Informatics and integrated it into it's Water Quality Platform with Hach Company and its offerings.[7][8]

In March 2021, Aquatic Informatics announced it had acquired Sedaru, Inc. and would be including its offerings in the Water Quality Platform.[9]

In August 2022, Aquatic Informatics and Hach announced a partnered data management effort in Rio, a "cloud-based compliance and operations data management solutions for water and wastewater utilities."[10]

On September 14, 2022, Danaher announced its intention to "separate its Environmental & Applied Solutions segment to create an independent, publicly traded company." The company added: "The new company will be comprised of Danaher's Water Quality and Product Identification businesses and will be referred to as 'EAS' until it is named at a later date. The transaction is intended to be tax-free to Danaher shareholders and expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2023."[11] It remains to be seen how this will affect Hach, Aquatic Informatics, and other Danaher subsidiaries.

At the end of January 2023, Hach had this to say about the status of its "EAS" segment[12]:

The products within the Hach Data Management Solutions Portfolio, including WIMS (Water Information Management Solution) and Claros Collect, have been centralized at Aquatic Informatics along with their existing product, WaterTrax and the new Rio product, to leverage Aquatic Informatics’ experience as a world-class provider of water data management software and cloud solutions to support our customers in their data management journeys. Hach WIMS will now be known simply as WIMS, while Rio, formerly known as Aquatic Compliance & Operations, is the new software solution that takes the place of Claros Collect when paired with WIMS as a mobile field operations application.

Technology and products

AQUARIUS, Rio, WaterTrax, and WIMS

The AQUARIUS software suite is a collection of data management applications designed to manage water resource information.[13] The suite includes many functions found in a laboratory information management system (LIMS), including sample management and tracking, QA/QC, data processing and analysis, workflow management, third-party portal, instrument interfacing, and reporting.[14]

Rio (formerly Aquatic Compliance & Operations[12]) is described as a "compliance and operations" "cloud-based software solution designed to centralize daily workflows for drinking water and wastewater utilities of any size."[15]

WaterTrax is described as a cloud-based data management software platform that "helps agencies and utilities monitor and manage their water and wastewater compliance data."[16]

WIMS (formerly Hach WIMS[12]) is a LIMS that allows users to "streamline workflows and easily analyze water and wastewater information from SCADA, LIMS, and more."[17] WIMS can be installed locally or hosted via the software as a service (SaaS) model.
