Xavo, a global leader in sample management and laboratory execution systems, has announced the acquisition of Laboperator from Labforward GmbH, marking a significant step toward its goal of delivering a fully unified digital ecosystem connecting research, development, and manufacturing.
Laboperator is a leading laboratory automation platform that enables scientists and production teams to manage instruments, workflows, and data within a single, streamlined environment. Through this acquisition, Xavo will integrate Laboperator’s advanced automation and connectivity features into its own suite of solutions, giving customers a more powerful end-to-end platform that bridges the gap between R&D and production.
The acquisition strengthens Xavo’s position as a provider of intelligent laboratory solutions designed to simplify complex scientific processes, reduce administrative overhead, and enhance operational efficiency. Both companies share a mission to connect scientific work and eliminate unnecessary complexity, empowering laboratories to focus more on innovation and less on manual coordination.
The newly combined offering will provide several benefits to customers. A unified data and workflow integration system will connect every stage of the laboratory process, from early experimentation to full-scale production, enabling configurable workflows and maintaining complete contextual continuity. Enhanced automation features will enable intelligent instrument management, real-time monitoring, and dynamic calculations, reducing errors and increasing productivity. The platform will also include robust compliance tools, including built-in audit trails, data validation, and secure access controls, ensuring adherence to GxP, ISO, and other regulatory frameworks.
Xavo plans to maintain ongoing support for existing Laboperator customers while investing in continued platform development to enhance performance and expand integration capabilities. The company emphasized that the transition will be seamless, with no disruption to current users’ operations.
