MAIN BENEFITS FOR Research and development LABORATORIES
Achieve more with Software Point and LabVantage LIMS
Share Knowledge but keep IP in the Hands of Your Organization
Laboratory information and scientific results are valuable but sensitive data. However, often important results are archived in individual researchers’ project file folders. With LabVantage you can ensure that created data is shared with the right people, but your Intellectual Property (IP) stays safely in the hands of the organization, archived in a structured way enabling searching when needed for new research.
Manage Work Requests from Internal and External Customers
Internal customers such as researchers and other R&D laboratory end users need a simple solution to submit request to the laboratory. LabVantage includes an easy- to-use request and sample submission method for this purpose, also allowing researchers to quickly transmit requests to the laboratory, follow up progress and take benefit of results. LabVantage Online Portal can be used by both external and internal customers.
Extract Data Quickly for Further Analysis
In R&D, much of the research is traditionally done outside of LIMS, using various statistical tools and other software. Therefore, extracting data from LIMS must be quick and easy. LabVantage can be directly integrated with various software packages, and data can be always quickly searched, and exported in various formats.
Use ELN as part of your LIMS
LabVantage Electronic Laboratory Notebook (ELN) is an integral part of LabVantage LIMS and provides an additional type of user interface. For R&D, LabVantage ELN accommodates for structured and unstructured data allowing flexible storing of any scientific data. You can work collaboratively in a team and share research information with LabVantage. All content is searchable, and you can publish notebooks with personalized layouts directly in PDF and Word formats.
Manage Projects, Studies and Experiments Efficiently
LabVantage offers possibilities to save research information in a structured way, by organizing R&D data hierarchically into projects, studies and experiments. This supports project management and allows the correct information to be searched and found later. ELN also provides organization for your material.
Utilize your Resources to the Fullest Potential
Especially in R&D laboratories, the workload might be hard to predict and estimate. LabVantage has an extensive selection of tools for resource monitoring and work assignment, allowing your laboratory to maximize productivity and smooth daily operations, with the resources you have.
Enhance Searching and Trending of Data
LabVantage comes with advanced search and trending capabilities providing real-time, easy access and visibility to all laboratory data. LabVantage’s query tools provide real-time, easy access and visibility to all laboratory data. Ad-hoc Query Tool enables to construct and execute queries just by dragging and dropping. Google-type search engine allows looking for data across the system. Dashboards visualize your data and KPI’s. You have flexible searches for various purposes to satisfy your clients, managers and even auditors’ questions.
Access from any Device and Reduce IT Maintenance Costs
LabVantage provides users the ability to access laboratory information from any device (e.g. tablets) using a commercial web browser. LabVantage reduces significantly your IT maintenance costs as LabVantage is a pure HTML5 compliant browser-based system with a zero footprint at the user level and there are no client programs to install and maintain and no applets or plugins to be managed. LabVantage increases technical scalability by using standard Java EE application servers and modern databases.
Take Care of your Employees
Lab Automation frees up your staff for more productive and enjoyable tasks. Using LabVantage is intuitive and effortless. Navigation is quick and easy. Personal or role-based layouts, pre-searches and bookmarks allow you to go straight to work without hazzle. Sample and other pictures can be directly taken with your device (computer, tablet or mobile) and added to database.
Tell your managers: Staff turnover is reduced with intuitive and user-friendly LabVantage Lab Informatics tools.

Breaking Silos, Structuring Data and Bringing Decision-Making Informatics into the Lab
Walking into many labs, you will still find a heavy reliance on paper, Excel spreadsheets and other disparate computer systems – all of which are collecting information in a haphazard and often siloed manner. While information technology has raced beyond anything we could have imagined even twenty years ago, laboratory informatics has lagged.
