The Edge Software Consultancy Ltd. develops and distributes laboratory informatics software solutions for the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries.

History

It appears that sometime in 2019, BioRails ELN and BioRails MDM stopped being offered as standalone products and are now incorporated with its BioRails DM software.[1]

Technology and products

BioRails DM and BioRails ELN

BioRails DM is a combination laboratory information management system (LIMS) and electronic laboratory notebook (ELN)—via the included BioRails ELN—designed to provide "workflow driven data management."[1] The software can be installed locally or hosted in the cloud.

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.
