AgileBio, a leading global provider of LabCollector LIMS solution that enhances research, testing & traceability to scientist teams has announced the new COVID LabCollector + Lab Service Management (LSM) Pack that will increase the speed and efficiency in COVID-19 tests management.

Facing an unprecedent pandemic situation with COVID-19, we all need to join forces. LabCollector LIMS developed by AgileBio is ready to join hands with the testing labs to increase the rapidity and efficiency of COVID-19 tests and its management thereby helping to eradicate the COVID-19 global pandemic. To address that effort, AgileBio is offering a COVID LIMS pack with its main software LabCollector + LSM (Lab Service Management) + I-Collector automation + 2D rack scanner connectivity to any COVID-19 testing facility with free hosting for one year.

“The WHO recommendation is for massive Covid-19 tests everywhere and every day. The world is pressing tests and samples arrive by increasing batches. With LabCollector we help labs get organized and track samples and work. It was natural for us to propose our experience and tools quickly and without the burden of costs.” - Pierre Rodrigues, the CEO & founder of AgileBio says.

The LabCollector COVID-19 pack is a mix of software components and all the needed service to bring labs online quickly. It also includes free online hosting for one year for LabCollector. Labs can now manage the COVID-19 samples from reception to result reporting, inventory for reagents & supplies, biobanking of COVID-19 samples with 2D Rack Scanners and much more with COVID-19 LC + LSM pack. This will increase the efficiency of labs by managing the tests request and speed with automation. A remote LSM portal application which is included in the pack will help the labs connect with unlimited number of doctors or providers of COVID-19 samples. It will also assist in communication of test updates, reports and invoices between the labs and the doctors/providers. All in all, the AgileBio offers all needed parts for test management to the labs and free consulting and quick setup and 1-year free web hosting (compliant with FDA) at an extremely reduced cost.

LabCollector by AgileBio also offers an extensive and modular tool set. It easily connects to 2D rack scanners to catalog samples from any scanner on the market. To automate test execution, AgileBio proposes a middleware I-Collector which allows quick integration of PCR/qPCR machines to help get the results transferred to LabCollector LIMS (into the Lab Service Management add-on) and ultimately to automatic positive/negative assessment and reporting. Furthermore, AgileBio teams is also familiar with regulatory requirements a test lab needs and keeping this in mind we have included our compliancy pack in the COVID LC + LSM Pack. AgileBio team shall provide testing labs with first hand training and technical support to make implementation of LabCollector smooth and easy in your lab. Our trusted advisors and software integration experts will make your transition to LabCollector effortless.

Data AnalysisData analysis hardware and software is available to make data processing straight-forward yet powerful. Data software can be used for math and stats, technical graphing and image analysis. In addition, software is available for specific data analysis of electrophoresis, densitometry, ELISA and DNA sequencing.LIMSLIMS (Laboratory Information Management System) is an informatics software system used to improve the quality assurance and quality control (QA / QC) of data management. LIMS can be a standard for common lab workflows, such as commercial off the shelf systems (COTS), or customized for more specialized lab use. Systems are available for mainframe computers or PC.Sample ManagementSample management systems include sample storage devices such as freezers and plate storers, sample environment enclosures and sample organization, retrieval and sorter systems. Useful system features include high-throughput, automation, robotic arms, automated liquid handling and associated database systems. Accessories in sample management include barcode scanners, heat sealers and tubes.Molecular Recognition SoftwareMolecular recognition software is widely used to analyze DNA, RNA, proteins and chemicals. The software can be useful for graphical viewing, comparative analyses, high-throughput screening, genomics, proteomics and phylogenetics. Molecular recognition software uses bioinformatics tools and analyses such as BLAST searches and generates structural predictions, 3D structures and sequencing information.Biopharmaceutical AdvancesBiopharmaceutical advances follow the development of pharmaceuticals derived from biotechnology, also known as biotechnology medicines. Biopharmaceuticals may be produced from cell lines, plants, or microbial cells. Important considerations of biopharmaceutical use include application, cost, production process and purification.Robotic InstrumentsRobotic instruments can be used for high-throughput automation of many lab processes. Such processes use instruments for assays like cell based assays and ELISA, for sample preparation like shakers, centrifuges and incubators, and for analysis such as sequencing and western blot analyzers. Useful features of robotic instruments include speed, reproducibility, barcode readers, software and automation.Robotic WorkstationsRobotic workstations are automated platforms enabling the user to perform high-throughput, multi-application processes, from sample preparation tasks such as PCR set-up, DNA purification and NGS library preparation, to integrated sample prep and analysis workstations. Automation makes processes consistent, fast, precise and fully walk-away.
