Astrix and Seeding Labs are hosting a live panel on April 30, 2026 exploring how life sciences organizations can turn sustainability into a strategic advantage. The discussion covers how purpose-driven partnerships drive innovation, workforce development, brand differentiation, and measurable social ROI — positioning sustainability as a growth engine, not just a corporate obligation.…
Configuration Versioning for LIMS: Bringing Software-Style Releases to
Traditional LIMS change management was not built for the pace of modern labs. Join Labbit’s upcoming webinar, Configuration Versioning for LIMS, to see how software-style, versioned releases shrink validation burden, make system evolution transparent, and let regulated labs safely deploy incremental updates without disrupting operations.…

SampleManager™ LIMS Data Migration and Upgrade for a Global Chemical Company’s Canadian Operations
When a global specialty chemicals manufacturer acquired two Canadian sites, the legacy SampleManager LIMS needed a full upgrade and integration with the parent ecosystem. CSols led the migration to v21.1, switched the backend from Oracle to SQL Server, moved the platform to Azure, and delivered a new SM-IDI/SAP interface on time and within budget.[Read More]
From AI pilot to AI in practice: what it takes to make laboratory AI work at scale
The next generation of scientific discovery will be defined not by which labs adopted AI, but by which ones made it work inside the workflow. Success hinges on whether the underlying informatics platform embeds AI natively or bolts it on as a parallel process. A unified data model, not the AI model itself, is what determines practical value at scale.[Read More]
Solving the Academic Research Reproducibility Crisis [White Paper]
Over 70% of scientists can't reproduce another researcher's results. The cost: $28 billion a year in wasted research. This whitepaper reveals why the crisis is fundamentally a documentation problem, what NIH and institutions are now mandating, and how an electronic lab notebook eliminates the root causes. Includes a free ELN option for academic labs.[Read More]
From CSV to CSA: How Change Visibility Simplifies Validation
If vendors already validate their platforms, and not every feature carries equal risk, why do labs still spend months retesting everything? The shift from Computer System Validation (CSV) to Computer Software Assurance (CSA) promises a smarter, risk-based approach, but only works when labs have the change visibility to define impact with confidence.[Read More]
The Sunset Clock: Navigating the SampleManager v12.2 Support Cliff
Thermo Scientific SampleManager v12.2 has hit its end-of-support date, and labs still running it face growing security, compatibility, and compliance risks. This CSols webinar on April 22 covers what the sunset means for your lab, how to evaluate migration paths, and practical steps to modernize without disrupting operations.…

Semaphore is now Labbit. After more than a decade and 400,000 hours working inside complex regulated labs, the team has unified under one name and one mission: a modern LIMS designed around how labs actually operate. Learn why the rebrand reflects a platform built for flexible workflows, FAIR data, and the AI transformation reshaping lab informatics.[Read More]
Lab AI maturity model: A roadmap from passive to active labs
Lab AI adoption is moving through three stages: passive ELNs that record work without supporting it, shadow labs where scientists lean on public generative AI and fragment the record, and active labs where governed intelligence lives inside the notebook itself. See the full maturity model and a practical roadmap to get from one to the next.[Read More]
S02 E05: Bridging the Gap Between AI Strategy and Lab Reality
Stop waiting for perfect data to transform your research. In this episode of Decoding the Digital Lab, Rob Brown of Sapio Sciences pulls back the curtain on how leading labs are moving past AI hype and into real results, including 90% fewer physical compounds and 3x faster discovery phases. Tune in to bridge the gap between AI strategy and lab reality.[Read More]
Building a Strong Data Foundation with LabWare LIMS
Modern labs do not just need more throughput, they need a structured, reliable data foundation behind every scientific decision. See how LabWare redefines LIMS as a strategic asset through configurable workflows, standardized data models, automated instrument capture, and built-in governance that keeps data trustworthy and analysis-ready.[Read More]
Validated System, Uncontrolled Processes: Closing GxP Gaps in Your Lab
A GxP-validated LIMS is not enough on its own. Auditors scrutinize how labs calibrate equipment, validate methods, investigate deviations, approve changes, and trace reagents end to end, and many of those workflows still live in paper, spreadsheets, and email. With FDA 21 CFR 211.68(b) citations up 55% since 2022, here is how to close the gap.[Read More]
ICH E6(R3) Compliance Through QMS and MES Validation
Under ICH E6(R3), the sponsor owns the integrity of all data, including vendor data, and misalignment can mean fines, production halts, or rejection of clinical data. This white paper is a strategic roadmap for moving your QMS and MES from one-size-fits-all validation to the risk-based, proportional model now expected by the FDA and Health Canada.[Read More]
