Data Manager for Lab Instrument Files

An easy-to-use, low-cost data manager finds and extracts targeted data values or strings found inside files created by flow cytometers, confocal microscopes, or other laboratory instruments for analysis and for U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) compliance reporting.

BioData Manager was developed by Abrevity (San Jose, CA, USA). The software solves mission-critical file-management problems for firms using life sciences instruments, by leveraging a patent-pending Slice technology that empowers granular file content discovery, custom classification, and retrieval of files resident on Windows and UNIX systems. BioData Manager also empowers granular data classification and "grooming” for intelligent backup, tiered storage, and compliance archiving.

Laboratory instruments often generate more than a terabyte of information per experiment, and their use is rapidly growing. Mission critical discovery, classification, and management of these files for analysis and compliance are slow, costly, and inefficient. BioData Manager delivers a flexible, scalable, affordable solution to address these problems.

"IT [information technology] professionals are looking for tools that provide ‘visibility' into their growing data stockpiles,” said research analyst Heidi Biggar. "What differentiates Abrevity is its initial focus on the laboratory instrument market and its use of a new data model (versus the conventional relational database or enterprise search technologies) to enable fast search, discovery, and data analysis of the large data volumes being generated by scientists today.”
