Neolytica to Deliver Nautilus� LIMS Via ASP Architecture ANN ARBOR, Mich. (USA) - October 18, 2002 Neolytica (www.neolytica.com), a single point of contact for outsourcing and contracting analytical testing services, has formally signed an agreement with Thermo LabSystems, a Thermo Electron business (NYSE: TMO), to offer the Nautilus� LIMS (Laboratory Information Management System) solution to customers using the application service provision (ASP) model. With this agreement, Neolytica will begin piloting its LIMS service with a full operational launch anticipated in the first half of 2003. Neolytica's LIMS offering will simplify the accessibility and management of analytical data for its customers, allowing access to world-class software without the need to secure costly licenses, purchase hardware or employ expensive support resources. "Neolytica is committed to providing its customers with best-in-class service and performance, enabling them to more efficiently and cost-effectively concentrate on core competencies, " said Steve Gregory, chief operating officer, Neolytica, Inc. "Collaborating with Thermo LabSystems to deploy Nautilus LIMS provides a solid base for Neolytica's customers to effectively form a technological foundation for their activities." The Neolytica LIMS infrastructure allows data access via the Internet, permitting customers to review their data 24 hours-a-day from any location using an Internet browser. Well-defined security architecture protects Neolytica's LIMS and data reporting infrastructure, ensuring that only those with pre-defined privileges are allowed access. Thermo LabSystems and Neolytica combine the leading conventional systems and Internet-enabling technologies to deliver a return on investment to customers in industries such as chemicals, plastics, R&D, industrial gases, petrochemical and consumer packaged goods. Customers who receive Neolytica LIMS via ASP will experience faster, easier and more convenient service. A monthly rental fee replaces initial information services capital expenditures, spreading cash flow over a manageable period and eliminating upfront software and hardware costs. Hosting Nautilus LIMS on a centrally managed server maintained by highly trained specialists also provides users with the highest level of availability, scalability and performance. "The use of Neolytica's global single point of contact to host Nautilus' customer application will aid with managing the total computing infrastructure and streamlining the entire LIMS process. Thermo LabSystems is excited to be working with Neolytica to deploy Nautilus LIMS via ASP architecture," said Kevin Smith, vice president of Thermo Electron Informatics Division, North America.
