LabwareMatch, the first web based multi-vendor e-Catalog and collaborative product specification management system for labware products used in laboratory automation is now online. The LabwareMatch platform contains SiLA compliant labware product data from different manufacturers and offers full search and compare functionality.

LabwareMatch also lists compatible device models supporting the specific labware product and provides labware specification parameter sets in SiLA standard XML format, which can be downloaded for direct processing by the device software.

LabwareMatch allows labware manufacturers and authorized users to edit product data and add parameters according to the SiLA Labware Specification Standard, which are missing in most product specifications provided by labware manufacturers. It also supports registered users to publish validated data they have used successfully for implementation of specific labware products on specific devices. All submitted new parameters and parameter changes are reviewed and approved by SiLA’s approval board.

We are constantly adding more products to the catalog. All labware manufacturers are invited to join LabwareMatch and provide additional data, for the benefit of instrument manufacturers and lab managers.

LabwareMatch is a free service, financed through sponsoring and advertisement. Please help us to make this project a success !
