Delay in supply of ADS cabinets

Dynalab Corp. started this year energized about a partnership with ADS to supply their line of safety cabinets including the Bio II Biological Safety Cabinet, Optigel Horizontal Laminar Flow Cabinet and IV-Gel Vertical Laminar Flow Cabinet. 


Since the excitement of our product launch which included press releases, we have encountered the reality of red tape associated with selling these products in the United States. Al cabinets are CE marked but the delays have been compounded for UL and NSF certifications. All are in process and we hope to be complete by the Fall of 2011. The ADS products show real promise in the states as the pile of leads shows. Hopefully soon we also have the actual product in house.


Thank you all for your patience. We are proud to represent the ADS line and are doing everything within our power to make these fine products available in the North American market.

Here we go!

All the months of research, interviews, preparation have brought Dynalab Corp / Dynalon Labware to this very day! 


You may think I am referring to our go live date for Infor Syteline but unfortunately that's not it yet. This is day one of tangible goods and something new here at Dynalab Corp to make a go live date possible.

Our IT Manager is busy right now moving in the new servers and various other pieces of hardware that will soon be operations central for our company (our employees will always be the backbone of Dynalab). We have spent more than 18 months in time and resources to get here. Fortunately Brian understands what a cryptocluster is (if I even spelled that right). All I have been asking for is a computer system that will aid in more timely and efficient customer service. He's the one responsible for understanding what hardware moves us towards that goal. No pressure right?

The features of this new ERP system are beyond our comprehension after operating this company on "green screen" for probably 25 or more years. We are going to see if "paperless" is just a catchphrase or is it truly possible. What will be do with all those filing cabinets or better yet the band aids for paper cuts!

As we all head out for the long holiday weekend my idea of Independence involves starting back on Tuesday with the hardware in place to get our software project in process. Dynalab Corp. is hoping for an October 1st Independence Day for our customers.

Happy 4th of July to all, wishing you a safe and rewarding holiday weekend!

Year of change

This has been a fun week and it's only going to get more interesting throughout the remainder of 2011. 


I have been blogging about our new ERP system to be implemented by October 1st, 2011 but haven't given out the surprise yet that Dynalab Corp. is also moving to a new building about 15 miles away. Oh yes, we are up for big challenges this year!


This week has been spent in meetings designing the new building layout and talking with movers. It's been a nice reprieve from the new computer system except our IT Manager has the fortune of being heavily involved in both projects.


This fun will continue for months but we need to keep our customers happy through it all. We're in process on stock control prior to the move. It's tough having the right stock in the right building at the right time when there are 2 of them! The plan is to move in December and be fully functional in the new site upon return from our holiday shut down on January 2nd, 2012.


This all seems so far away but will be here far too soon! New address notifications will be sent in the Fall to all active customers. As for now, this week is over so it's time to meet with my house for a couple days!

Dynalon's first step into social marketing

This was the week, big happenings here at Dynalab. In all the excitement I got the bright idea to open a Twitter account for Dynalon Labware.


We finally narrowed our ERP software choice to one outstanding company with a clear concise software package. This company is yet to be announced publicly but we are quite excited at the new streamlined functionality Dynalab and Dynalon will be experiencing in a matter of mere months.


Now back to the important company announcement, our Twitter account. First I will admit that I was somewhat persuaded by the amount of our Dynalon dealers already representing themselves on Twitter. I realize this is also true of Facebook but baby steps people. Twitter seemed like the best choice to get our toes wet. Setting up a Facebook account takes more initial work and overall supervision. I'm expecting to have a few extra tasks this summer with the ERP implementation so no need to get in over my head on purpose.


Two days into our Dynalon Twitter account and we are following close to 50 companies with a handful of followers. I don't see these numbers exploding as an extensive search was done to compile those 50 companies from our dealers and service providers. It will be interesting though to see where we go from here.


Wishing everyone a relaxing Memorial Day weekend and thank you to all those men and women who lost their lives in military service to our fine country.

LabX Scientific Marketplace

Auction website for science products saves time and money!


Dynalab Corp. has been using LabX to sell our overstock and clearance goods for years now. It's a one stop shop for used equipment and scientific supplies. Specifically we use it to market overstock and clearance Plasticware and Supplies. 


This site saves time over other auction sites due to its product focus. It also saves money as we clear products through this site well below our costs! It's a win - win for everyone involved, so much so that we even include freight on most auctions.


LabX is sort of a year round Spring cleaning warehouse. If you purchase scientific goods and are looking to save some money, be sure to check it out!
