LabVantage Solutions, a provider of laboratory informatics solutions and services, on February 22, announced an expansion to its professional services organization. The company is now operating globally, with new teams in South America and Asia. Between 2020-2023, the organization reported 80% growth, according to a press release from LabVantage.
“We recognize the intricate demands of the life sciences industry and the specific challenges faced when implementing laboratory information management software (LIMS). Our professional services expansion means that no matter where our customers are, we can provide them with the localized expertise and support needed to optimize their systems and processes,” said Craig Bowie, vice president of Professional Services, Americas at LabVantage, in a press release.
The enterprise laboratory software provider, which is headquartered in Somerset, New Jersey, works with more than 1,500 customers in the life sciences, pharmaceutical, medical device, biobank, food and beverage, consumer packaged goods, oil and gas, genetics/diagnostics, forensic, and healthcare industries.
LabVantage has been growing over the last few years. In October 2022, the company merged with Biomax Informatics, a software solutions and services provider for efficient decision-making and knowledge management at the intersection of life sciences, healthcare, and information technologies. The terms of the deal were not disclosed.
The merger enabled the integration of AILANI, an advanced semantic search tool, into LabVantage's LIMS and analytics tools. AILANI uses semantic modeling, ontologies, linguistics, and AI algorithms to connect a variety of data sources.
“Our goal is to hand back more time to customers for scientific exploration," said Alan Marcus, Chief Growth Officer at LabVantage Solutions, in a press release. "Your data can now be unified, housed, searched, and analyzed within a single platform from concept to market.”
Getting accurate IR spectra on monolayer of molecules
April 18th 2024Creating uniform and repeatable monolayers is incredibly important for both scientific pursuits as well as the manufacturing of products in semiconductor, biotechnology, and. other industries. However, measuring monolayers and functionalized surfaces directly is. difficult, and many rely on a variety of characterization techniques that when used together can provide some degree of confidence. By combining non-contact atomic force microscopy (AFM) and IR spectroscopy, IR PiFM provides sensitive and accurate analysis of sub-monolayer of molecules without the concern of tip-sample cross contamination. Dr. Sung Park, Molecular Vista, joined Spectroscopy to provide insights on how IR PiFM can acquire IR signature of monolayer films due to its unique implementation.
New Probes for NIR Monitoring of Polymer Injection Molding Composition in Real-Time
May 2nd 2024Researchers from Kyoto University and Japan's National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology have developed innovative probes to monitor the chemical composition of biodegradable polymer blends during injection molding. This breakthrough could lead to improved production efficiency and reduced waste in the polymer industry.
