Merck KGaA—operating as Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany in Europe and MilliporeSigma in North America—is a pharmaceutical, chemical, and life sciences business operating in close to 70 countries.
The company was reportedly founded in 1668 and remains "the oldest pharmaceutical and chemical company in the world."[1] In recent times, the company is notable for its acquisition of Millipore Corp. in 2010[2] and Sigma-Aldrich in 2015, which combined with Millipore would become MilliporeSigma in North America.[3]
In 2023, the Brightlab website went dark. Further investigation shows that the Brightlab website began forwarding to MilliporeSigma's Lanexo Inventory Manager software site.[4] As Lanexo doesn't seem to list ELN functionality, it appears the original idea of an ELN was abandoned by MilliporeSigma.
BrightLab was a cloud-based laboratory informatics solution that is designed to enable researchers to "control all aspects of the experiment lifecycle from a single, easy-to-configure platform." [5] BrightLab combined electronic laboratory notebook (ELN) functionality with integrated modules for inventory and request management, Sigma-Aldrich ordering, and instrument scheduling.[5]
In addition, BrightLab allowed users the option to connect their instrument data to their ELN in order to "automate the capturing, tagging, storing, parsing, and analyzing of data." [6] The software was hosted in the cloud under the software as a service (SaaS) distribution model.
Lenexo Inventory Manager is an inventory management software solution that "gives you access to real-time inventory data, such as SDS, opening/expiry dates, location, and disposal information."[7]
