==History==
==History==


 
AgileBio was formed out of the efforts of Pierre Rodrigues, who released MBS - Molecular Biology Shortcuts — a portal for software tools and information — in 1998. In early 2002, Rodrigues organized JustBio.com out of a need to further consolidate molecular biology tools and news into a cleaner site. That same year AgileBio was formed as an entity "committed to design unique solutions to scientists' teams and companies to turn them into more agile structures."<ref name="ABOldAbout">{{cite web |url=http://www.agilebio.com/company_history.php |title=AgileBio - History |publisher=AgileBio |archiveurl=http://web.archive.org/web/20021122111854/http://www.agilebio.com/company_history.php |archivedate=22 November 2002 |accessdate=17 November 2012}}</ref><ref name="ABJBAbout">{{cite web |url=http://www.justbio.com/about.php |title=About JustBio |author=Rodrigues, Pierre |publisher=Pierre Rodrigues |archiveurl=http://web.archive.org/web/20020604020822/http://www.justbio.com/about.php |archivedate=04 June 2002 |accessdate=17 November 2012}}</ref>

'''Note 1''': Licenses cover all computers and users from a single lab group sharing the same database and are not "per user."
 
'''Note 2''': Unless otherwise stated, the "add-on" price assumes the ownership of a LabCollector full license. Add-on prices for clients without a full license have 50% extra cost. Number of concurrent users for an add-on is determined by which full license is purchased/owned.

AgileBio develops and distributes laboratory informatics software, specializing in the life sciences, research and development, and more. AgileBio also offers a software development service for customers looking for a specific software solution.

History

AgileBio was formed out of the efforts of Pierre Rodrigues, who released MBS - Molecular Biology Shortcuts — a portal for software tools and information — in 1998. In early 2002, Rodrigues organized JustBio.com out of a need to further consolidate molecular biology tools and news into a cleaner site. That same year AgileBio was formed as an entity "committed to design unique solutions to scientists' teams and companies to turn them into more agile structures."[1][2]

Technology and products

LabCollector

LabCollector is a modular laboratory information management system (LIMS) that "can be used in a variety of different situations and labs."[3] An ELN add-on is also available for LabCollector.[4] The software can be installed locally or hosted off-site via the SaaS distribution model.[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.
