March 17, 2009 - Symyx Technologies signed a partnership with Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc. Symyx and Thermo Fisher Scientific will work closely to integrate applications, and Thermo Fisher will market and sell Symyx Notebook and Symyx Isentris decision support software with Thermo Scientific industry-leading LIMS across the world.The two companies will work collaboratively to provide tight areas of integration. The initial focus of the relationship will be to deliver much requested integration between Thermo Scientific Watson LIMS and Symyx Notebook systems. The solution will be designed to accelerate the design, execution, analysis, and documentation of biological and bioanalytical workflows.
By sharing sample lists, results, and reports, the comprehensive solution will reduce manual transcription and data manipulation that can result in costly, time-consuming processes, laboratory errors, and regulatory compliance issues.Subsequent program phases will integrate Symyx Notebook with other Thermo Scientific LIMS designed to enhance workflow automation for other industrial sectors such as oil and gas, chemicals, energy, environmental, food and beverage, and pharmaceutical.Symyx Notebook accelerates productivity, improves collaboration, and lowers costs by replacing multiple discipline-specific electronic lab notebooks with a single, multi-discipline application that is deployable across the enterprise.
The Symyx Isentris data access, analysis, and decision support system drives better collaboration, faster decisions, and more innovative R&D by enabling scientists to leverage corporate, commercial, and local database information in an integrated, self-service research environment.
