Abbott Informatics Corporation develops and distributes laboratory informatics software solutions.

History

Abbott Informatics was originally founded as STARLIMS Technologies Ltd. by Itschak Friedman, incorporated under the laws of the State of Israel in May 1986. In November 1993, STARLIMS completed an initial public offering of its ordinary shares, which traded on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange.[1] The company made a public offering in the United States in May 2007 and was introduced to the NASDAQ under the Stock Market under the symbol LIMS.[1][2]

In August 2008, the Company announced the establishment of STARLIMS Europe as a result of the May 2008 acquisition of its United Kingdom partner Lab Data Management Ltd., based in Bolton, Greater Manchester.[3]

In late 2009 it was revealed Abbott Laboratories, Inc. would acquire all outstanding equity of STARLIMS Technologies.[4]The deal was finalized on March 22, 2010 for a published cost of $123 million.[5] STARLIMS Corporation continued to act as a subsidiary of Abbot Labotatories.

On May 30, 2014, STARLIMS Corporation officially changed the name of its Florida-based headquarters to Abbot Informatics Corporation.[6] However, it wasn't until October 2015 that the company shifted its web presence, dropping the STARLIMS Corporation name in full.[7][8]

On July 7, 2021, Francisco Partners Management LP announced that it had "signed a definitive agreement to acquire the STARLIMS informatics product suite and related business assets from Abbott."[9] It's not clear as of mid-July if the "related business assets" includes the actual Abbott Informatics Corporation subsidiary of Abbott or some other arrangement has been made. The company noted that "STARLIMS has thrived within Abbott’s informatics business, and we are excited to partner with the employees and customers[9]," suggesting Abbott Informatics Corporation and its personnel may be involved in the acquisition.

Technology and products

STARLIMS ELN, SDMS, and LIMS

STARLIMS ELN is an electronic laboratory notebook "that maximizes your lab’s efficiency and ensures compliance by allowing execution of test workflows without interruption."[10]

STARLIMS SDMS is an Scientific data management system that "makes it easy for users to access and share information across the organization."[11] Features include data extraction, support for multiple file types, data archiving, and 21 CFR Part 11 compliance as well as automated creation, review, and approval tasks.[12]

STARLIMS LIMS is a web-based laboratory information management system (LIMS) "that improves quality and safety throughout the entire product lifecycle."[13] The LIMS is also available as a SaaS offering under "Abbot Informatics Cloud Services."[14]

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.
