MilliporeSigma Introduces a Digital Lab System for Improved Data Quality and Traceability

MilliporeSigma announced the launch of its Lanexo Lab Inventory, Safety, and Compliance Management System, a digital laboratory informatics solution formulated to reduce time in labs and improve data quality and traceability, in a March 3, 2020 press release

The company states that cloud-based system has the ability to document lab reagent data in real time through MilliporeSigma’s radio-frequency identification labels. The system also comes equipped with digitalized inventory, expiration, and storage monitoring and easy reagent identity checks and automatic alerts for assistance with avoiding expired reagents and minimizing experimental error.

“Today, 85% of labs are using paper or Excel to manage consumables data, and 25% of time is spent managing these data - taking scientists away from bench research,” said Jean-Charles Wirth, head of Applied Solutions at MilliporeSigma, in the press release. “Lab efficiency is critical as it gives scientists more time to focus on their research and analytics work and less on administrative tasks, which ultimately leads to faster drug development. Our [Lanexo] system - with first-to-market features - underscores MilliporeSigma’s commitment to advancing and commercializing laboratory informatics.”
