The SDMS interfaces with the LabVantage platform, including the LMIS, electronic laboratory notebooks, and the laboratory execution systems. It automatically collects and protects relevant data as it is generated, providing a rich informatics and analytical resource that enables better lab management, improved quality control, and enhanced security, according to the company.

Additionally, version 8.5 immediately captures externally generated data, including complex instruments that generate files, like chromatography systems; real-time data sources, like freezers; and incoming emails as well as other file captures.

LabVantage 8.5 and its data management system will be available for installation in the coming months.

With the company's new software-as-a-service package, customers pay subscription fees to access the entire platform, eliminating substantial upfront costs. The subscription option includes all software licenses, servers, networking, load balancing, backups, and failover, and customers can use it with their own web browsers. The system is highly scalable, so customers only pay for what they need, according to the company.

Those interested in learning more should visit LabVantage at booth #4432 at the 2020 Pittcon Conference and Exposition in Chicago from March 1 to 5.
