Vision |
BioInfoRx has found that most difficulties in life science laboratories are related to information management, about how to manage, process, use, share, and protect information to support research. To solve these difficulties, BioInfoRx aims to offers real-time, long-term, integrated and affordable information solutions.
Recent advances in internet technologies, in particular cloud computing, provide BioInfoRx opportunities to develop such solutions. Now is the right time for life science laboratories to move into the cloud! Cloud-based services provide solutions to many problems we could not solve before. Operation in the cloud means BioInfoRx’s hardware and software will handle researchers’ data and processing, solving the lab needs for hiring IT persons, purchasing dedicated servers, and performing daily system maintenance.
BioInfoRx has already developed a suite of products to help customers handle all information, from routine lab management to complex biological data management and processing. These products are market ready and have been tested by thousands of researchers. |

| Here's What People Are Saying |
" ... Remarkably we use these (BioInfoRx) tools every day. Everyone that we show it to is jealous they don't have something similar and it has generated analysis and figures that we have successfully used to secure some grants recently."
– Alan Attie Lab, Biochemistry, UW-Madison
" ... In the last five years, my lab has changed four technicians and over 20 students. Still, we can tell where every dollar was spent, retrieve the sequence of any construct, and figure out exactly how many mice and cages we have at any time. Without BioInfoRx systems, I can not imagine how we would survive. "
– Wei Xu Lab, McArdle Laboratory for Cancer Research, UW-Madison

Unlike most other biotech companies, BioInfoRx’s start-up funds came from commercially driven revenues from the beginning. In addition, in 2008, BioInfoRx received a two-year phase I SBIR grant. In September 2009, BioInfoRx received an administrative supplement grant. These grants supported development of a state-of-the-art, highly automated, web-based proprietary microarray data management and analysis system.

BioInfoRx has already developed a suite of products to help customers handle all information, from routine lab management to complex biological data management and processing. These products are market ready and have been tested by over 1000 researchers. BioInfoRx now has a growing list of domestic and international customers, such as those highly regarded universities such as UW-Madison, Harvard, UCSD, and McMaster.
With a suite of products ready for marketing and sales, BioInfoRx's current focus is to get the words out: Let more researchers enjoy BioInfoRx's innovative information solutions.

Key Technologies |
BioInfoRx has found that most difficulties in life science laboratories are related to information management, about how to manage, process, use, share, and protect information to support research. To address the market’s needs, BioInfoRx plans to offer real-time, long-term, integrated and affordable information solutions. Recent advances in internet technologies, in particular cloud computing, provide BioInfoRx opportunities to be the first to market with such solutions.
Now is the right time for life science laboratories to move into the cloud!
The key to BioInfoRx's solutions is a proprietary application framework (BxAF), which allows BioInfoRx to develop a complete package of cloud-based information solutions. BioInfoRx's proprietary framework is what makes BioInfoRx unique in the market place.
BioInfoRx adopts Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) business model, which solves laboratory needs for hiring special IT persons, purchasing dedicated servers, and performing daily system maintenance.

| BxAF™ Main Features |
-
Future oriented technology: BxAF™ is designed to grow and evolve with web-based technologies. BioInfoRx utilizes open source, web-based development languages to follow technological trends and maintain state-of-the-art capabilities.
-
Unprecedented flexibility: BxAF™ systems can be implemented with the most popular programming languages, operating systems, and databases allowing developers to select the best technologies for custom system development.
-
Highly integrated: BxAF™ systems are naturally integrated, allowing access to multiple systems on one server. The systems may be easily integrated with existing public or intranet websites. All BioInfoRx's products are built using BxAF™, and they are all seamlessly integrated together.
-
Secure: All systems require user authentication, are controlled by group manager.
-
Audit Trials: Rapidly build applications that meets GLP and FDA Guidelines, including 21 CFR part 11 requirements, for individual labs in universities, clinics, biotech and pharmaceutical companies.
-
Group-based: BxAF™ systems are designed for use by a research group. The group PI or manager determines system features, approves group members, and sets access parameters. Everyone has the right level of access anywhere, all the time with web-based BxAF™ systems.
-
Designed for rapid system development: BxAF™ is an easy-to-use application framework for rapid new system development. It contains all basic features found in data management systems, such as user registration, group data sharing, database designing, and more. Therefore developers using BxAF™ do not need to write codes from scratch and can rapidly design any types of web-based data systems.
