LabLynx, Inc. is a privately owned, funded, and managed American corporation that develops, supports, and markets laboratory information management system (LIMS) solutions. Its most well-known products include ELab, a browser-based LIMS, and webLIMS, a scalable hosted LIMS offered under the "software as a service" (SaaS) delivery model. The company’s primary clients include laboratories in the agriculture, clinical, environmental, forensics, health care, and manufacturing industries, including government agencies.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=40482985 )〕 The company is known for introducing one of the first browser-based LIMS products in 1997〔 and being a long-term player in the laboratory informatics market. It’s estimated that LabLynx employs fifteen people.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.manta.com/c/mmj7tyc/lablynx-inc )〕 ==History== Before LabLynx was a company, it was a LIMS product offered by Atlanta Systems Consultants, Inc. (ASC). Formed in 1992,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://corp.sos.state.ga.us/corp/soskb/Corp.asp?863137 )〕 ASC’s LabLynx division later began work on a laboratory information management system designed specifically for a web browser. ASC demonstrated its new Internet Explorer-based LabLynx LIMS at Pittcon in 1997, among the first browser-based LIMS to appear at the time.〔 The company again showcased LabLynx at Pittcon in 1998 and soon after picked up a major LIMS-based contract with the U.S. Customs Service.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.fbodaily.com/cbd/archive/1998/07(July)/30-Jul-1998/70awd003.htm )〕 By July 2000, the LabLynx division of ASC separated to become its own incorporated entity.〔 And while ASC eventually ceased to exist in 2005,〔 LabLynx, Inc. went on to diversify its offerings. The LabLynx’s browser-based LIMS previously demonstrated at Pittcon in 1997 expanded to become ELab, which in 2001 took on an application service provider (ASP) model of distribution. In 2004 LabLynx released a browser-based tool called openLIMS, which gave consultants and end-users the ability "to build custom LIMS solutions that are geared to the exact operational needs of many different laboratories." On June 19, 2006, LabLynx established the Laboratory Informatics Institute, an open membership group with the purpose of advancing the field of laboratory informatics and shaping the standards associated with it. LabLynx made further moves to better its LIMS offerings in August 2008, renewing and expanding its contract with Nagarro, Inc., a U.S.-based technology consulting firm. The collaboration allowed LabLynx to upgrade its existing LIMS software to .NET architecture and expand its initiative to create and market a SaaS-based LIMS. Less than a year after the announced renewed partnership, LabLynx revealed its redeveloped webLIMS product to the public, featuring an SaaS model and additional integration of developer tools to allow users to create and modify modules for the LIMS. This move to a cloud-based SaaS model brought renewed interest in the company’s LIMS, with clients like the Georgia Department of Agriculture and Cypress Bioscience taking on the new LIMS. In 2011, LabLynx was involved in an initiative to standardize and structure the transmission of laboratory data that first originates in a LIMS or LIS and then moves to a person's or population of people's electronic health records. This laboratory results interface (LRI) pilot began in August 2011 and included collaborations with the supported open source project mdDigest and the U.S. Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC).〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://wiki.siframework.org/LabLynx+Pilot+Brief )〕 In July 2014, LabLynx introduced Health Cloud Hub, a conglomeration of hardware and cloud-based healthcare applications, including a laboratory information system (LIS) and an electronic health record. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「LabLynx, Inc.」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
