Myfab is a Swedish research cooperative that "offers distributed high-quality cleanroom facilities and associated expertise for advanced research and education to researchers and product developers at universities and high tech industries."^[1] The group also offers a customized version of their Myfab LIMS, though little is known about the acquisition process.^[2]

History

The Myfab network was established in 2004, with Chalmers, KTH, and Uppsala University banding together to create a coalition that would help researchers "to avoid duplication of expensive equipment, to provide local and open access to the whole network, to apply harmonized user fees, instrument classes as well as back-up standard processes enabling cross-disciplinary synergies."^[3]

Technology and products

Myfab LIMS

Myfab LIMS is a laboratory information management system designed "for cleanrooms at univeristies or small institutes" and was "developed within the Swedish research infrastructure for micro and nano fabrication."^[4] The LIMS was purpose built for the Myfab network of cleanrooms, but a custom version is supposedly available upon inquiry.^[2]

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.
