Avantor® and Labguru Collaborate to Drive More Efficient Lab Buying Experience

RADNOR, Pa. – May 22, 2023 – Avantor, Inc. (NYSE: AVTR), a leading global provider of mission-critical products and services to customers in the life sciences, advanced technologies and applied materials industries has entered into an agreement with Labguru, a research-to-production platform of choice for leading global pharma, national research institutes and, innovative startups, to integrate Avantor’s Inventory Manager and e-commerce channel into Labguru's Lab Information Management Software (LIMS) and Electronic Lab Notebook (ELN). Avantor and Labguru’s combined solution will offer a single source for scientists to access a wide range of high-quality products when they need them at the lab bench.

Avantor’s Inventory Manager (IM) is a proprietary, vendor-agnostic cloud-based software designed to serve as the central transactional and intelligence hub for lab inventory management. IM provides real-time reporting and customized, on-demand replenishment of lab consumables and now can integrate with Electronic Lab Notebooks from multiple providers. By integrating IM with Labguru, scientists who use their ELN can easily view, check available stock, and order products through Avantor’s e-commerce channel. This offers the choice customers want while streamlining their lab workflows and driving efficiencies.

"Avantor is in the business of ensuring scientists have what they need when they need it, so they can focus on breakthroughs. Our goal is to provide researchers and scientists a more streamlined and efficient way to manage their inventory and purchase research materials from Avantor through Labguru’s Electronic Lab Notebook platform," said Tola Olorunnisola, Senior Vice President of Clinical Services and Strategy at Avantor. "Science doesn’t reward wasted time, and our intention with this integration is to further enhance the user experience for researchers and provide them with a single source for their lab research needs to give them time back."

Labguru’s solutions, including LIMS and ELN, support work across the biotech, pharma, CRO, and QC lab spaces, and their ELN is the platform of choice for more than 120,000 scientists globally.

"We are thrilled to partner with Avantor and begin to empower scientists with an offering that takes Avantor’s and Labguru’s Laboratory solutions to the next level," said Ariel Yarnitsky CEO of Labguru (BioData, Inc.) "Eliminating friction for scientists by providing efficiencies and data-based insights are two key ways to accelerate science.”
