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
