Our Mission
We invest our time towards software solutions that maximize individual and lab-wide productivity while minimizing behavioral changes. We specialize in lab grade software at an affordable price for any size lab, down to the individual scientist. We believe there is no 1-size fits all lab solution and instead of focusing on bulky solutions we provide targeted solutions that work together for the custom needs of the individual scientist.
Liminal aims to empower scientists - students, staff, and faculty - to accumulate as much knowledge and value as possible during their time in the lab. We organize the moving parts of research using advanced software so the scientist can spend less time tediously documenting and combining data.
Liminal believes all research is valuable, and the idea of good versus bad results is a false dichotomy. We acknowledge all the hidden work that goes into research and understand the credit the effort deserves. We aim to make research more connected, reproducible, and easier to disseminate. We are devoted to boosting the academic lab by providing simple to use, quick to install, and lab-grade software.
Our Values
Communication
Science is nothing without communication, and neither is our company. Poor communication is at the core of most problems, so we strive to be open and honest with our clients and each other.
Connection
Liminal strives to connect the people, machines, data, and activity of the lab in one place. The first and most important aspect of this is connecting the people in the lab and stimulating scientific discourse and collaboration.
Creativity
Our software is a means to an end. We strive to be creative in our approach to solving problems, challenging current systems in place. Liminal communicates and connects the research ecosystem so the scientist has all the tools and objects they need to be creative.
