Massachusetts-based PerkinElmer life sciences software company has bought Canada-based electronic laboratory notebook provider Labtronics, according to Fierce BiotechIT.

PerkinElmer did not disclose how much it is paying for Labtronics.

The Labtronics purchase allows PerkinElmer to extend its electronic lab notebook and data integration software product offerings. The products are used for regulated and non-regulated quality control as well as late-stage product testing or method development labs, according to PerkinElmer.

"We welcome the addition of Labtronics to PerkinElmer's growing portfolio of informatics and software solutions for laboratory environments, as we enhance the Company's strategic focus on enterprise-wide knowledge sharing and access," Dusty Tenney, PerkinElmer's president of analytical sciences and laboratory services, said in a statement. "This acquisition successfully positions PerkinElmer as the only technology provider able to deploy an optimized ELN solution across a global customer's entire value chain, from research to manufacturing."
