Infotrieve says it will leverage this acquisition to pioneer "the first large-scale workflow integration of scientific and technical literature with laboratory products used by life scientists and engineers during the research and development process."LabVelocity has supported life scientists with on-demand access to technical information and laboratory research products since its inception in 1999, made available through partnerships with laboratory product suppliers. Infotrieve will integrate both its existing and future solutions with those from LabVelocity, beginning with enabling links to research products in the "Materials and Methods" section of electronic journal articles. Researchers will be able to transfer product requests to their purchasing organizations or directly into their internal procurement systems.
