IDBS

Laboratory software for regulated research and manufacturing

IDBS makes software that captures, analyzes, reports and shares scientific data across research, development and manufacturing. Its current website gives the company's experience as 35 years, and it says its products are built around scientific workflows and the integration of laboratory systems. The aim is to stop data sitting in separate silos and to help research organizations reach their results faster.

Polar and E-WorkBook for research teams

Polar is presented as a unified lab informatics platform. It combines electronic lab notebook, laboratory information management and lab execution capabilities in one system, and the company says it supports compliant workflows from research and discovery through to manufacturing. Polar is also described as a way to add context to scientific data and to turn it into insight. E-WorkBook serves the same research, discovery and development work, and the two products are presented as ways of streamlining how a lab's work is recorded and shared.

Batch and process monitoring in manufacturing

For manufacturing sites, IDBS offers batch and process monitoring tools that follow production runs as they happen. Its process characterization and technology transfer software supports the move of a process from one team or site to another, keeping data available and records intact at each stage. The company says that digital process systems reduce the risks that come with such a transfer, which matters as regulators examine product quality more closely.

Checking data before using artificial intelligence

The company has introduced an AI data readiness assessment. It reviews an organization's scientific data, its systems and its governance before the organization adopts AI, and it aims to show where the gaps are, set priorities and prepare data for AI projects that can scale. IDBS presents the assessment as a way for scientific organizations to gain clarity before committing to AI work.

Sectors, standards and partners

Customers are in biopharma research, development and manufacturing, and the company also serves businesses in industrial settings, energy, farming, food and drink, and consumer goods. For regulated environments, it runs a GxP resource hub with guidance on validation, data management and frameworks, and it describes its software as suitable for both GxP and non-GxP work. It works with SciBite, which supplies scientific ontologies, so that data from different systems can be connected. Webinars, solutions consulting and training round out the offer.
