Kirtas Technologies and Rescentris Partner to Provide the Life Sciences Industry with a Solution to Marry Archived Research Materials with Electronic Lab Notebook Software

Business Wire,  April 30, 2008  

BOSTON -- Kirtas Technologies, the leader in quality, high-speed, nondestructive book digitization and Rescentris, the award-winning provider of electronic lab notebooks (ELN) for biological research, today announced that they teamed up at the Bio-IT World Expo in Boston to demonstrate how they work together to enhance R&D efficiencies.

Rescentris' CERF lab notebook software future-proofs current discoveries of life science researchers. Today, accessing paper-based lab notebooks and other archived research materials is difficult and costly, with much documentation stored off-site.

Kirtas Technologies provides the ability to digitize massive amounts of documentation that can represent decades worth of discoveries. The company's unique and patented automatic book scanners (APT BookScan) enable fast, high-quality, gentle scanning of bound documents. The APT Bookscan captures full color, grayscale or bitonal images and text while maintaining the integrity of the original work.

"The ability to have research information from years past in a searchable format is invaluable to the entire R&D process," noted Kirtas Founder and CEO Lotfi Belkhir. "Future-proofing past documentation offers tremendous benefits as it relates to the access and protection of intellectual property."

Rescentris CEO Adel Mikhail said, "Bringing archived lab notebooks into a searchable format significantly reduces redundant research. Integrating, annotating, and reusing these with current data online in CERF can streamline R&D efforts and enable new discoveries. Combining Kirtas with Rescentris CERF offers a complete solution to capitalize on past and present science."
