History

[edit | edit source]

The company was founded by Itschak Friedman and Dinu Toiba in Israel in 1986, and developed and sold LIMS software. The company was renamed to STARLIMS.[1] By 2005, the company's software was installed at the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and in systems of state health authorities in 12 US states.[2] The company held its IPO in the US in 2007.[3] Friedman was CEO until the company was acquired by Abbott Laboratories in 2009 for $123 million; at that time the company had 160 employees and most of its operations and sales were in the US, the UK, and Hong Kong.[1] By the time of the sale, STARLIMS was offered as a web application.[4] Abbott intended to fold STARLIMS' products offerings into its other health information technology businesses in an effort to improve its clinical diagnostics business.[4] In 2014, Abbott changed the subsidiary's name from STARLIMS to Abbott Informatics.[5][6] In July 2021 Abbott sold STARLIMS to Francisco Partners.[7]

In August 2023, it was announced STARLIMS had acquired the London-based R&D Electronic Laboratory Notebook (ELN) platform, Labstep for an undisclosed amount.[8]
