Arxspan, LLC develops and distributes laboratory informatics software solutions.

History

Arxspan was founded in January 2011.^[1]

In November 2015, the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard partnered with Arxspan to use its ArxLab (now "Arxspan") software for biomedical research at the institute.^[2]

In March 2019, Bruker Corporation announced that it had acquired Arxspan. It wasn't clear at the time how Arxspan would operate due to the acquisition, but the company is presumably operating as a subsidiary of Bruker.^[3] With the change also came a few minor changes, including the presumed discontinuation of ArxLab FT (Filter and Transform)^[4] and a name change of Arxspan's product line from "ArxLab" to "Arxspan."

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.
