development, implementation and maintenance.


enoLogics Life Sciences Software has launched three new


cloud-based LIMS products: Clarity Run Manager, Clarity Run Manager Plus and the early access availability of Clarity LIMS Silver. Tese editions are sized and priced to fit any genomics laboratory’s budget, with virtually instantaneous deployment.


Te three provide sample management and workflow tracking to support the use of Illumina or Life Technologies sequencing instruments or other genomics technologies.

Te advent of desktop sequencing has allowed small and mid-sized labs to routinely provide sequencing services; however, until now there were limited options for project, sample and lab activity tracking. While most lab managers and directors of these organisations would agree that they should have a LIMS for their next- generation sequencing (NGS) tests or services, most do not have such a system due to the high cost and complexity of traditional commercial tools and/or the lack of resources for internal

Te three Clarity Cloud editions provide these organisations access to flexible price and feature set options that can grow with a lab, are easy to use by staff and require no internal IT resources to configure, update or maintain. Te products range in price from the no-cost edition Clarity Run Manager to the moderately priced wider LIMS feature set found in Clarity LIMS Silver edition.


“Scientists and lab directors want to improve the efficiency


and throughput of their labs. Tey don’t want to worry about managing technology resources or pay for software features they don’t currently need,” said Michael Ball, GenoLogics CEO. “Providing these organisations with flexible, cloud-based offerings allows customers to protect their investments in instruments and reagents, as their labs grow.”


Meanwhile Raman spectroscopy solutions provider B&W Tek has formed a strategic partnership with LIMS provider LabWare. Together, they will distribute a pre-configured
