Sciformatix is a privately-held startup focusing on solutions in the area of scientific laboratory information systems. The company recently launched with a breakthrough on-demand, SaaS-based Laboratory Information Management System aimed at small to medium laboratories based on .Net.

I worked with Tom Kent, CEO and Pascual Starink, CTO (founders) this last year and I have been very impressed and excited about the innovation they have delivered in their launch of SciLIMS SSM (Laboratory Information Management Systems, Storage & Sample Management).  Built on .Net with the new Visual Studio 2008 and Visual Studio Team System 2008 Team Foundation Server, SciLIMS is a true SaaS architecture solution.

You can learn more from a Microsoft case study about the SciLIMS solution and their use of Visual Studio 2008 here.  The company is also launching a pilot program.  If you are interested in participating in the pilot, please contact them at info@sciformatix.com or call them at 1-877-724-7656.
