Maquet SA Buys Agilent’s OpenLAB ELN, Bundled with Surety’s AbsoluteProof
Surety announced today that Maquet SA has purchased Agilent’s OpenLAB ELN that includes Surety’s AbsoluteProof service. This partnership strengthens Maquet’s ability to secure the authenticity and ownership of its scientific IP.
Maquet, a major manufacturer of medical products, therapies and services for operating rooms and intensive care units, purchased the system to replace paper lab notebooks. To protect scientific intellectual property, Maquet personnel were regularly shuttling the notebooks to an off-site notary office to be manually time stamped. By implementing an automated digital notarization process, Maquet expects to streamline the efficiency and effectiveness of this process. The company says it was also seeking a tool to facilitate collaboration between research teams in France and Germany.
“OpenLAB ELN enables our customers to capture, manage and share their valuable research,” said Bruce von Herrmann, vice president and general manager, Agilent Software and Informatics. “The seamless integration of AbsoluteProof secures corporate intellectual property at the time of inception, automating the documentation of when patents are submitted.”
