Biomax Informatics acquires data-mining business, eudaptics

Aiming to enhance and broaden its technology and solution portfolio, Germany's Biomax Informatics AG has acquired the operative business of the Austrian data mining specialist eudaptics software gmbh.

This extends the Biomax offering with the "Viscovery" range of products. With its intuitive visual approach to data exploration, the Viscovery Suite ideally complements the knowledge management system offered by Biomax, the German firm says. This is especially important for areas such as biomarker identification and validation, toxicology and clinical research. Data mining products and solutions will be offered by Viscovery Software GmbH, a 100% subsidiary of Biomax.

Klaus Heumann, chief executive of Biomax, said: "with this acquisition, we can offer comprehensive solutions for the integrated analysis and interpretation of biological and clinical experimental data to our customers and thus strengthen our unique position in the market."
