Center for Inherited Disease Research (CIDR) Selects Exemplar LIMS for Next Gen Sequencing Lab

Baltimore, MD November 15, 2010 Sapio Sciences is pleased to announce that The Center for Inherited Disease Research at Johns Hopkins has selected Exemplar LIMS as its Laboratory Information Management Solution (LIMS). CIDR will utilize Exemplar LIMS for sample and protocol management through Exemplar LIMS integrated Electronic Lab Notebook capabilities. CIDR will leverage Exemplar LIMS pre-built workflows for the Illumina Genome Analyzer platform.

“We are pleased that CIDR has chosen Exemplar LIMS for their laboratory processes. CIDR is one of the largest non-profit sample processing centers in the US and has a tremendous reputation for the services they provide. Exemplar LIMS excels at rapid implementation of experiment tracking through its integrated and configurable ELN ,”says Julia Neel,Chief Software Architect at Sapio.”CIDR will be able to leverage our pre-built lab notebooks for the Illumina platform further expediting implementation.
