PerkinElmer Inc. manufacture environmental- and health-based products, including the development and distribution of laboratory informatics software solutions.


History

Acquisitions

In March 2011 PerkinElmer announced the purchase of CambridgeSoft Corporation, which now essentially acts as a subsidiary.[1] CambridgeSoft products like ChemBioOffice, ChemDraw, and ChemOffice, and E-Notebook maintained their identities[2], while Workflow LIMS was seemingly phased out by the end of 2011[3], likely in favor of LABWORKS LIMS.

PerkinElmer completed the purchase of ArtusLabs, Inc. in the spring of 2011, acquiring with it the Ensemble ELN.[4]

A few months later the company announced it had acquired Labtronics Inc. and its Nexxis ELN.[5]However, sometime after April 2013 PerkinElmer stopped offering the Nexxis ELN product.

Technology and products

E-Notebook, Ensemble, and LABWORKS

E-Notebook is an electronic laboratory notebook (ELN) originally created by CambridgeSoft Corporation and now a core component of the Ensemble laboratory informatics suite of applications.[6] The ELN strives to "[enhance] personal productivity and [improve] data quality while at the same time protecting intellectual property and creating a shareable archive to foster collaboration and innovation."[7]

Ensemble is an ELN that "blends social networking, personal publication, and refined data mining to assist internal and external research communication and management."[8] It was originally created by ArtusLabs, Inc., which is now a subsidiary of PerkinElmer. Please see the ArtusLabs page for more about the Ensemble ELN.

LABWORKS is a laboratory information management system (LIMS) "that lets you choose the platforms, deployment models, and features that best serve your laboratory."[9]

The LABWORKS platform is divided into four solutions:

  • waterLIMS for water and wastewater
  • processLIMS for chemical and petrochemical
  • foodLIMS for food and beverage, nutrition analysis, and QC
  • greenLIMS for biofuels

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.

Pricing

Source for pricing information is the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA). As prices may change at any time, always contact the vendor directly to obtain a price list or quote.

Note: These are GSA prices, and as such they represent the lowest possible negotiated price. These prices aren't available to any entity outside of the Federal Government, and thus prices for non-government entities will be higher. If anything, they represent the lowest possible negotiated price.
