Amersham collaboration with geneticXchange

Published: 1-Dec-2003


Amersham Biosciences and geneticXchange have collaborated to provide what they claim is the most powerful laboratory data acquisition, management and integration solution available on the market today.

The two companies have worked together to combine Amersham Biosciences' Scierra Laboratory Workflow System (LWS) and discoveryHub data integration platform from geneticXchange to provide scientists with in-creased transparency and accessibility to any laboratory-generated data. The combination of Scierra LWS and discoveryHub will enable the rapid integration of laboratory-generated data with legacy, public, third party and clinical data on one platform that will help lead to tangible time and cost savings for drug discovery. Under a distribution agreement, Amersham Biosciences will sell the integrated solution globally.

'The combination of Scierra LWS and discoveryHub offers a powerful solution for data acquisition, management and integration for scientists,' says Jerry Walker, vp Informatics, at Amersham. 'Customers already benefit from the Scierra LWS technology and the addition of discoveryHub will enable rapid integration of lab generated data with legacy, public, third party and clinical data, leading to both time and cost savings in the drug discovery process.'

'Amersham Biosciences' vision of seamless data integration and management aligns with the geneticXchange plan to build a data integration platform that will allow life science organisation to connect scientists to the data they need. This open platform underpins a major new data integration system for the industry,' said Brian Donnelly, ceo and chairman of geneticXchange.
