New intelligent integration–Eppendorf VisioNize® sense

Presenting the New VisioNize Sense Integration—An eLabNext and Eppendorf collaboration

eLabNext & Eppendorf announce their second integration: VisioNize® sense. The VisioNize® sense add-on integrates Eppendorf’s VisioNize® Lab Suite (VNLS) with eLabNext’s eLabInventory to provide a seamless experience while using environmental condition monitoring sensors from Eppendorf. This collaboration provides labs with more accurate and verifiable data of all samples for a truly complete audit trail.

Confidence in your data

Whether for sensitive reagents, already developed therapeutic drugs, compound libraries, or even thousands of biobank samples, monitoring their viability and condition is imperative to a GxP-compliant lab. Even the slightest temperature change can affect the quality of a sample, so notification and monitoring systems are needed, not only for sample safety but also for confidence in your data. 

Sample Safety with Immediate Temperature Collection

eLabNext provides sample/inventory (LIMS – Lab Inventory Management System) and data/reporting (ELN – Electronic Lab Notebook) solutions to life science laboratories—under one platform—allowing scientists to seamlessly automate their workflows and increase efficiency in the lab. With this as the foundation, VisioNize sense integration will allow users to attach these sensors to anything—such as a refrigerator, incubator, storage room, or growth room—and cultivate data that can be accessed at any point for further analysis.

How it works

The add-on works seamlessly with eLabInventory and offers a flexible way to visualize temperature data within your inventory list [AF1], thus, protecting the integrity of your samples.

The VisioNize sense kit includes an environmental monitoring sensor that measures ambient temperature, humidity, pressure, and light and a PT-100 extension that can measure the temperature of any device (including ULT freezers) within the range of +60 to -90 °C. The gateway router sends the collected parameter data to VisioNize Lab Suite, and the data is pulled into eLabInventory. As a user, you may easily switch to VisioNize Lab Suite to enjoy the complete feature set of the Eppendorf digital platform.

Data Confidence

Confidence in data comes with confidence in your equipment and its performance, to which Eppendorf is no stranger. VizioNize allows you to access that information, whether it be a remote monitoring solution, an alarm or management system, or ways to easily access device performance data—the combination of features from VNLS and eLabNext may provide scientific communities greater confidence in the safety and integrity of their data.

Partnership in Action

eLabNext values the importance of sample safety, integrity, and data reliability. With this partnership with Eppendorf, we have combined our values, expertise, and vision to bring you a more “plugged-in” view of your lab. Decentralizing your data across multiple applications can cause extremely pricey issues for a scaling company. In contrast, this integration from the eLab Marketplace will allow users to get one step closer to a “one-stop” high-quality digital lab that will provide scientists with the necessary tools to do research and process development more efficiently.

A Free Add-on is Available Today

Ensure data reproducibility with environmental condition monitoring sensors seamlessly integrated into your eLabInventory. The VisioNize sense Add-on, developed in collaboration with Eppendorf, is now available free of charge in the eLabNext Marketplace.
