Sciformatix Announces SaaS-based LIMS for Small Labs with Price Promotions, Free LIMS Version

Sciformatix Corporation today announced three new versions of its popular SaaS-based LIMS called SciLIMS, with pricing starting as low as $19/month. The new “Lab Group Edition”, at $149/month, is designed for laboratories with up to 5 users, providing features similar to the existing “Professional Edition”.

The new “Samples Edition”, at $49/month, is designed for laboratories with simple storage and container management requirements. The new “Samples Edition Lite”, at $19/month, is similar to the “Samples Edition” and is designed for labs with up to 3 users.

“Our objective is to give every scientific lab the ability to adopt a professional LIMS, rather than continue to struggle with informal tools and home-grown utilities”, said Sciformatix CEO Thomas Kent. “With these new editions, SciLIMS is easily affordable for even the smallest of labs, helping them to dramatically improve lab operations and substantially reduce operating costs, including costs associated with IT administration and software development. And, by utilizing the Sciformatix cloud computing model, labs experience peace-of-mind, with superior security and scalability over what can be achieved with an in-house deployment.”

SciLIMS operates securely via the increasingly accepted cloud computing and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) delivery model. This eliminates the need for customers to purchase, install, and maintain computing resources; instead, customers can concentrate on their core responsibilities.

“Now, labs can use a professional LIMS for less than the price of a daily cup of a coffee”, said Kent. “This is a big boost for lab customers, particularly in these challenging economic times.”

Sciformatix also announced a 2-pronged promotion that will run through February 15, 2010. First, the “Samples Edition Lite” version will be offered free-of-charge to new subscribers. Second, new subscribers to the “Professional Edition” and “Lab Group Edition” versions will receive a 25% discount on user subscriptions and a 50% discount on one-time setup fees. New customers can use the promotion code ‘RampUp2010’ during checkout when ordering via the Sciformatix web site to get discounted prices.
