Labforward GmbH develops and distributes laboratory informatics software solutions.
History
Labforward GmbH has its origins in two companies: labfolder GmbH and cubuslab GmbH. On July 1, 2012, start-up company labfolder GmbH made its first blog post, announcing its intentions. Led by biologists Simon Bungers and Florian Hauer as well as programmer Mathias Schäffner, the start-up aimed to address "the limits of paper-based laboratory notebooks such as loose data collections, scattered notes and limited search facilities at the lab bench" and "create a digital lab notebook that can be used as laboratory management software and collaboration platform for laboratory research."[1] The trio released an alpha version of its labfolder software for testing on October 3[2], followed by a beta version on February 20, 2013.[3] The product moved out of beta testing in May 2014 and was offered as a free basic package.[4]
In May 2019, labfolder and cubuslab GmbH, a laboratory automation integration business, announced they would be merging to form Labforward GmbH. The merger was reportedly born out of a 2017 half-joking conference discussion that led to a realization: "we worked together on so many projects that the tremendous advantages of the cooperation for both parties became obvious, and the initial joke became a serious opportunity."[5][6]
Awards
In April 2013, Labfolder received an award for being one of the top 10 best concepts at start2grow Competition 2013.[7]
Technology and products
Labfolder, Labregister, and Laboperator
Labfolder is a cloud-based electronic laboratory notebook (ELN) that helps researchers record their findings.[8] The product is available in a free basic edition for up to three users and an extended team version for larger research groups. The software can be installed on-site or hosted in the cloud.[9]
Labregister is a laboratory information management system (LIMS) that "facilitates oversight of a lab’s entire inventory," allowing "scientists to follow each inventory item through its specific lifecycle and enables a direct connection to laboratory notes."[10]
Laboperator (formerly cubuslab[11]) is a hybrid hardware and software plug and play solution (marketed as a laboratory execution system [LES]) that allows labs to connect their lab instruments in a single platform, and "manage their laboratory remotely, whilst collecting and analyzing instrument data in real-time, significantly improving productivity and precision of research."[10]
