Instrumentation and Distribution Partnership
An exciting new partnership has been formed between Bika Lab Systems and Trident Instrumentation - suppliers of high quality Infrared Radiation instrumentation and service providers to Wine, Milk, Grain and Feed & Forage laboratories in both the government and commercial sectors
Trident, who have their headquarters in Hermanus, Cape Town are the sole sub-Saharan distributors of NIR Technology (Australia's series of robust and affordable spectrometers and analyzers) and was founded by Tony Morrone an industrial control systems engineer with over 22 years of experience in the fields of Industrial and Analytical Instrumentation
The integrated service produced by Bika and Trident's partnership brings about a true 1 stop lab solution, dynamic and completely integrated with lab instrumentation - an open source, web based LIMS and portal content management system, improving accuracy and automation whilst sharply reducing paper administration leading to lower staffing costs
High accuracy instrument integration and Bika's CMS means that results can be published multi-lingually to the web immediately upon verification and so be available anywhere, anytime allowing you to track statuses in real time and giving you the results when you need them
Full web content management means that regulatory information, news and training material can be published on-line to clients and staff alike
Best of all this new partnership means you can have access to all the great benefits of open source technologies like browser based desktops with no messy installations to perform and an unlimited number of users and servers with no annual license fees to pay
What a combination!
