This acquisition brings both companies to the forefront of modern informatics and addresses the critical challenges customers face in finding an advanced platform that supports them from R&D through to market surveillance.

By combining STARLIMS’ comprehensive Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) technology with Labstep’s user-friendly, SaaS ELN platform, users can remove complexity from the lab and unlock data’s true potential in a progressive, connected system.

The acquisition of Labstep represents a significant milestone for STARLIMS, as it introduces a modern and user-friendly ELN to its existing platform. The integration accelerates ideation and planning through its easy-to-use documentation functionality, automation capabilities, and seamless connectivity to instruments and systems, moving users away from cumbersome paper-based record keeping. This unified solution liberates scientists from manual documentation, leaving them with more time to conduct research.
