LabVantage Solutions, Inc. develops and distributes enterprise laboratory informatics software solutions.

History

LabVantage started off as Axiom Systems, which in April 1997 acquired Laboratory MicroSystems from Instron Corp. and formed a new company LabVantage Solutions.[1][2] LabVantage made another acquisition later that year, absorbing Automated Compliance Systems into its portfolio. By 1999 the company had decided to replace or rebrand most of its products with the "Sapphire" product line, featuring a configurable PC-based client-server architecture.[2] In the summer of 2011, the company rebranded its Sapphire and SQL*LIMS products to its company namesake.[3]

The company had a change of leadership in June 2013 with the introduction of Peter Bailey as the new CEO.[4]

Sometime in March 2019, the company removed mention of its eNotebook electronic laboratory notebook (ELN).[5] Rather than be discontinued, it appears the ELN may have been integrated into its existing LabVantage 8 platform, describing it as "a combination of laboratory information management [system] (LIMS), electronic lab notebook (ELN), and lab execution system (LES)."[6]

In February 2020, the company announced it had integrated its scientific data management system (SDMS) solution into the LabVantage platform.[7] In March 2020, the company announced that its full LabVantage platform would be available under the software as a service (SaaS) distribution model: "customers pay a simple subscription fee to access the entire LabVantage platform – laboratory information management system (LIMS), electronic laboratory notebook (ELN), laboratory execution system (LES) and scientific data management system (SDMS)."[8]

Old technology

eNotebook was an ELN that "automates and expedites your data entry process and operations."[5]

Technology and products

LabVantage 8

LabVantage 8 is a combination LIMS, ELN, and LES designed to "help lab managers, scientists, and technicians better manage everything from instruments and materials to experiments and reports to regulatory and data integrity."[6] It can be hosted on your own equipment or hosted in the cloud with LabVantage.[9] The software comes in several editions[10]:

  • LabVantage Pharma, a pre-validated solution for the pharmaceutical industry
  • LabVantage Food & Beverage, for food and beverage testing and compliance
  • LabVantage Oil & Gas, for petrochemical testing and safety tracking
  • LabVantage Biobanking, for biorepository management and collection
  • LabVantage Diagnostics, for diagnostic labs handling numerous workflow types
  • LabVantage Quality, for "customers across industries looking to go live quickly"

Features

Base features of LabVantage 8 include:

  • information management and tracking for samples, reagents, compounds, specifications, experiments, tasks, projects, studies, subjects, protocols, etc.
  • integration with numerous third-party instruments and systems
  • graphical workflow design and process automation
  • compliance with government regulations and other standards

For more about the known features of LabVantage 8, see the table below.

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.
