==Technology and products==
==Technology and products==
LabLynx develops, supports, and markets several products for the laboratory, science, and health industries:
===ELab===
===ELab===
ELab is a hosted [[software as a service]] (SaaS) [[laboratory information management system]] (LIMS) + [[laboratory information system]] (LIS). Introduced in 2009 as webLIMS<ref name="webLIMS1" />, ELab is a scalable system that "molds around your lab’s specific requirements to provide a comprehensive, user friendly sample management system."<ref name="ELabLimsNew">{{cite web |url=https://www.lablynx.com/products-platforms/elab-lims/ |title=LabLynx ELab LIMS |publisher=LabLynx, Inc |accessdate=21 November 2023}}</ref> The software can be hosted in the cloud or self-hosted. In April 2020, a COVID-19 testing module was developed for ELab that extends its molecular diagnostics and other related COVID-19 workflows.<ref name="PRNLabLynx20" /><ref name="LLXCovidElab">{{cite web |url=https://www.covidlims.com/elab-lims/ |title=ELab: The LiMS and Database at The Core of Lablynx’s COVIDLiMS Solution |publisher=LabLynx, Inc |accessdate=20 October 2020}}</ref>


ELab is a laboratory information management system (LIMS) and collection of associated modules developed to help professionals in the scientific community manage data coming into and leaving the laboratory.<ref name="ELab1">{{cite web|title=ELab LIMS |url=http://lablynx.com/Products/ELabLIMS/tabid/240/Default.aspx |accessdate=22 October 2011}}</ref> The original LabLynx LIMS became known as ELab shortly before LabLynx fully separated from Atlanta Systems Consultants, Inc. in 2001.<ref name="LS_prod2" />
===CannaQA LIMS===
 
CannaQA LIMS is cloud-based LIMS "specially designed for cannabis testing and flexible enough to support all regulations and standards no matter where your lab is located or your type of testing."<ref name="LLXCannaQALIMS">{{cite web |url=https://www.lablynx.com/industry-solution-suites/cannaqa/ |title=CannaQA |publisher=LabLynx, Inc |accessdate=05 October 2022}}</ref>  
Over 30 different modules and functions are included with ELab, and licenses for the software are available with both onsite of offsite hosting services. LabLynx also states that ELab currently serves in many validated environments, including [[21 CFR Part 11]], College of American Pathologists (CAP), and [[ISO/IEC 17025]], in compliance with such standards as [[Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act|HIPAA]], [[Health Level 7|HL7]], STORENET, [[Food and Drug Administration|FDA]]- and [[United States Environmental Protection Agency|EPA]]-regulated [[good laboratory practice]] (GLP), and more.<ref name="ELab1" />
 
===webLIMS===
 
webLIMS is a hosted [[software as a service]] (SaaS) version of the ELab LIMS.<ref name=webAbout>{{cite web_short|url=http://www.lablynx.com/Products/webLiMScom/tabid/237/Default.aspx |title=webLIMS |publisher=LabLynx, Inc. |accessdate=03 February 2012}}</ref> LabLynx introduced the offering in March 2009, touting 35 different laboratory informatics and business applications in the hosted package.<ref name="webLIMS1" /> As with most SaaS software, LabLynx intends to reduce cost to laboratories, decrease the amount of downtime, and provide a more scalable LIMS solution with its webLIMS service.<ref name="ChemEng1" /><ref name="webAbout" />
 
LabLynx claims the facility it uses for hosting the webLIMS application is an "SAS70 Type II audited, ultra-safe and fully redundant data center."<ref name="webLIMS1" /> To prevent downtime due to power outages, LabLynx states that its data center has:
 
* parallel independent supply lines and facility circuits
* instant battery backup and transition to multiple parallel diesel turbine generators
* hardware powered by two separate feeds and a Tripp Lite instant power distribution switch to the alternative feed<ref>{{cite web|title=The webLiMS.com Data Center Facilities |url=http://lablynx.com/AboutUs/DataCenter/Facilities/tabid/248/Default.aspx |publisher=LabLynx, Inc. |accessdate=22 October 2011}}</ref>
 
===LiMStudio===


LiMStudio is a virtual desktop add-on to LabLynx’s webLIMS hosted application. It consists of a collection of 10 development tools that allow webLIMS users to modify the applications in their account to their own needs. It also allows users the ability to create their own applications to connect to the LIMS, providing a more scalable and customizable LIMS option to clients.<ref>{{cite web|title=LiMStudio.net - Hosted Developer Tools |url=http://lablynx.com/Products/DeveloperTools/tabid/242/Default.aspx |publisher=LabLynx, Inc. |accessdate=22 October 2011}}</ref>

LabLynx, Inc. is a privately owned, funded, and managed American corporation that develops, supports, and markets laboratory information management system (LIMS) solutions. Its most well-known product is ELab, a browser-based LIMS offered as a local installation or under a scalable, hosted "software as a service" (SaaS) delivery model. The company’s primary clients include laboratories in the agriculture, clinical, environmental, forensics, health care, and manufacturing industries, including government agencies. The company is known for introducing one of the first browser-based LIMS products in 1997[3][4] and being a long-term player in the laboratory informatics market.

History

Before LabLynx was a company, it was a LIMS product offered by Atlanta Systems Consultants, Inc. (ASC).[5][6] Formed in 1992,[7] ASC's LabLynx division later began work on a laboratory information management system designed specifically for a web browser. ASC demonstrated its new Internet Explorer-based LabLynx LIMS at Pittcon in 1997, among the first browser-based LIMS to appear at the time.[3][4] The company again showcased LabLynx at Pittcon in 1998[8] and soon after picked up a major LIMS-based contract with the U.S. Customs Service.[9]

LabLynx home office

By July 2000, the LabLynx division of ASC separated to become its own incorporated entity.[1] And while ASC eventually ceased to exist in 2005,[7] LabLynx, Inc. went on to diversify its offerings. LabLynx’s browser-based LIMS previously demonstrated at Pittcon in 1997 expanded to become ELab, which in 2001 took on an application service provider (ASP) model of distribution.[10] In 2004 LabLynx released a browser-based tool called openLIMS, which gave consultants and end-users the ability "to build custom LIMS solutions that are geared to the exact operational needs of many different laboratories."[11]

On June 19, 2006, LabLynx established the Laboratory Informatics Institute, an open membership group with the purpose of advancing the field of laboratory informatics and shaping the standards associated with it.[12] LabLynx made further moves to better its LIMS offerings in August 2008, renewing and expanding its contract with Nagarro, Inc., a U.S.-based technology consulting firm. The collaboration allowed LabLynx to upgrade its existing LIMS software to .NET architecture and expand its initiative to create and market a SaaS-based LIMS.[13] Less than a year after the announced renewed partnership, LabLynx revealed its redeveloped webLIMS product to the public, featuring ELab in a SaaS model and additional integration of developer tools to allow users to create and modify modules for the LIMS.[14][15] This move to a cloud-based SaaS model brought renewed interest in the company’s LIMS, with clients like the Georgia Department of Agriculture[16] and Cypress Bioscience[17][18] taking on the new LIMS.

In 2011, LabLynx was involved in an initiative to standardize and structure the transmission of laboratory data that first originates in a LIMS or LIS and then moves to a person's or population of people's electronic health records.[19] This laboratory results interface (LRI) pilot began in August 2011 and included collaborations with the supported open source project mdDigest and the U.S. Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC).[20]

In February 2015, LabLynx announced the introduction of HealthCloudPOL, a cloud-based laboratory information system (LIS) for the physician office laboratory (POL), making the basic starter package free to users.[21][22] That product line soon after changed names, becoming sciCloud.net.

In the summer of 2019, LabLynx released its CannaQA LIMS software for the cannabis testing industry.[23] The solution's name changed to "ELab LIMS for Cannabis" in April 2022.

In April 2020, LabLynx announced it had modified its existing LIMS platform to effectively manage COVID-19 workflows, and that its implementation could be deployed in two to five days.[24]

Community history

Since transitioning from Atlanta Systems Consultants, Inc. to LabLynx, Inc. in 2000, LabLynx has become increasingly active in the laboratory informatics community. Projects that LabLynx has started or been involved in within the community over the years include:

  • the Laboratory Informatics Institute, an open trade association with the mission of educating, standardizing, and promoting the laboratory informatics industry[12]
  • LIMSfinder, an online interactive magazine released by the Laboratory Informatics Institute that aims to be "the best resource for information technology in the laboratory"[25]
  • LIMSbook, a LIMS buyer’s guide released by the Laboratory Informatics Institute[26]
  • LIMSforum, a LinkedIn discussion group created to facilitate the exchange of ideas and technical information across the fields of laboratory, science, and health informatics[27][28]; this later became a stand-alone community web portal.[29]
  • LIMSuniversity, an open-access learning resource released by the Laboratory Informatics Institute, targeted towards laboratories and the LIMS community[30]
  • LIMSwiki, a Creative Commons-licensed wiki with the goal of bringing related informatics communities together to maintain a repository of information about the industry[31]
  • CannaQAwiki, a Creative Commons-licensed wiki with the goal of providing content as it relates to analytically testing the Cannabis plant and its constituents in the laboratory, as well as the regulatory aspects that surround it[32]

Technology and products

ELab

ELab is a hosted software as a service (SaaS) laboratory information management system (LIMS) + laboratory information system (LIS). Introduced in 2009 as webLIMS[14], ELab is a scalable system that "molds around your lab’s specific requirements to provide a comprehensive, user friendly sample management system."[33] The software can be hosted in the cloud or self-hosted. In April 2020, a COVID-19 testing module was developed for ELab that extends its molecular diagnostics and other related COVID-19 workflows.[24][34]

CannaQA LIMS

CannaQA LIMS is cloud-based LIMS "specially designed for cannabis testing and flexible enough to support all regulations and standards no matter where your lab is located or your type of testing."[35]

ClinDx

ClinDx is hybrid LIMS-LIS that "offers a unique blend of sample-focused and patient-focused workflows" that are adaptable to your laboratory.[36]

LabVia

LabVia is a middleware hardware/software-based hub that "intelligently manages multiple data communications between all kinds of devices, services, systems or other sources."[37]
