UNIConnect LC develops and distributes laboratory informatics software solutions, with a focus on the life sciences. Customers include ARUP Labs, Celera Genomics, DuPont Pioneer, Illumina, Myriad Genetics, Nelson Labs, Sorenson Genomics, and Southern Research Institute.[1][2]

History

UNIConnect was founded in 1997. The company started out as a consultancy but eventually moved into software development of laboratory process management applications.[1]

On July 30, 2014, UNIConnect announced at the American Association for Clinical Chemistry annual meeting the launch of its PrecisionMDx software, a special version of UNIFlow for molecular testing laboratories.[3][4]

Technology and products

PrecisionMDx and UNIFlow

PrecisionMDx is a LIS-like laboratory information management system (LIMS) based off of UNIFlow, "developed for laboratory professionals seeking a focused solution for CAP/CLIA certified molecular laboratory operations."[3] The system is scalable to the enterprise level and can be installed locally or hosted as software as a service.[3] As of October 2014 the product is still only available to early-access customers.[4] The known features in the feature table below are based on information from press releases and the media.

UNIFlow is a modular laboratory information management system (LIMS) that "tracks & manages any level of process complexity" while also remaining highly customizable after implementation.[5]

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.
