Rho, a full-service contract research organization (CRO) with a proven track record of drug development success, today announced it is coordinating a study called Systemic Allergic Reactions to SARS-CoV-2 Vaccination to assess the proportion of participants with a systemic allergic reaction to the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines in populations at high risk for allergic reaction compared to a general population. This research will be important for further understanding potential risk factors for an allergic reaction to these particular vaccines, as well as to future vaccines that similarly use an mRNA nanoparticle platform. The study is sponsored and funded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

LabVantage 8.7 Introduces Secure Web Portal The latest version of LabVantage LIMS (laboratory information management system) includes a redesigned web portal that lets LabVantage customers extend appropriate access rights to their clients outside the laboratory. The new Portal protects customers’ valuable and sensitive data, while eliminating the need for manual requests for tests and other services. A new, next-generation user interface makes Portal features easier than ever to use for those outside the lab needing access to data but who are not familiar with LIMS. LabVantage 8.7 Highlights: • A secure customer self-service web Portal for external clients of the lab, ensuring faster and more complete client-submitted requests and direct access to more meaningful information and data. • Customers’ choice of “apps” that deliver various functions, such as Portal account management, request submissions, status tracking and test-results viewing, and requests for test kits. • Simple and intuitive user experience with clean, cockpit-style screens that allow users to navigate safely, efficiently, and with little or no training. • Lab administrator self-support leveraging existing LabVantage knowledge of functions, configuration tools, and other skills. • Available immediately.
