E&K Scientific Announces Partnership with Sciformatix
San Jose, CA (Vocus/PRWEB ) April 28, 2009 — E&K Scientific, the premier provider of laboratory supplies and instrumentation to academic, biotech and pharmaceutical research laboratories, today announced the availability of a new set of storage and sample management solutions. E&K is now serving as distributor and reseller of the Sciformatix SciLIMS products, Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS) delivered via the Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model.
E&K will provide the Sciformatix SciLIMS solutions – which help small and mid-size labs manage their samples and storage in a professional yet affordable manner – to their customer base of regional and multinational organizations across life sciences industries. The SciLIMS products, combined with other storage solutions, form the basis for the E&K Storage Solutions set.
“Our customers work hard to gain control over their samples and storage, but until recently the efforts have been relatively labor-intensive,” explained Brian Ruf, CEO of E&K Scientific. “When we found the SciLIMS Samples and Storage Management Solution, we quickly made the decision to add it to our catalog. This is the first software product we have ever sold in our 35-year history, but it has proven to be the right decision.”
SciLIMS is based on the popular and cost-effective Software-as-a-Service delivery model. With no hardware or infrastructure to purchase or install, the decision to adopt SciLIMS becomes both simple and economically compelling. The product is easy to use, enabling most labs to begin getting results the first day.
Pricing for the SciLIMS solution is based upon monthly per-user subscriptions, starting as low as $50 per month for each user in a starter solution. Lab group and professional editions are also available, providing increased features and higher subscription fees.
