BSSN Software

BSSN Software is a Germany-based laboratory informatics company focused on vendor-independent software for accessing, integrating, standardizing, and sharing scientific laboratory data. Its products connect data from laboratory instruments and enterprise systems such as LIMS, ELNs, and ERP platforms, helping customers analyze, process, archive, and exchange experimental data in a unified format. The company became known for an early complete implementation of AnIML, an open XML-based standard for analytical and experimental data exchange. BSSN primarily served pharmaceutical and other laboratory-intensive customers before being acquired by Merck in 2019, after which its technology and employees were integrated into Merck's applied digital lab solutions activities. The business is commercial software rather than a drug-development company, with revenue generated from informatics products and related services.
