Software and data structures
We design systems capable of organizing, connecting and keeping scientific data, documents, processes and knowledge accessible.
Technology development and infrastructure for the laboratory
Technology designed for the reality of the laboratory.
What we do
We turn dispersed scientific information into useful, traceable systems built to evolve
We combine software development, technology infrastructure and real laboratory experience to build solutions adapted to scientific work.
Infrastructure and continuity
We define deployment, storage, backup and access-control architectures adapted to scientific environments.
Applied experience
More than 25 years working with collections and laboratories allow us to design technology from the operational, technical and documentary reality of the laboratory.
Who we help
Technology for environments where scientific knowledge cannot remain dispersed
We design systems for organizations that need to keep their data, documents and processes connected, traceable and available over the long term.
Biological collections
Strains, specimens and their associated knowledge
For microbial collections, herbaria, museums and other scientific collections that need to organize data, documentation, traceability and preservation or supply processes.
Microbiology laboratories
Useful information for daily work
For research, quality-control, production or development laboratories working with strains, batches, controls, results and technical documentation.
Research centres and projects
Knowledge continuity across people and projects
For universities, institutes and consortia that need to structure scientific information, support collaboration and prevent knowledge from being lost when people move on or projects come to an end.
Teams developing scientific solutions
Specialized infrastructure ready to integrate
For teams that need to incorporate taxonomy, data processing or specialized scientific services into their own applications without building them from scratch.
menta®
A complete solution for managing microorganism strains, batches, quality controls and associated documentation.
All the information related to each strain, organized, traceable and available in a single system.
Discover menta®
mentaxonomy
Taxonomic infrastructure for integrating scientific name search, autocomplete and taxonomic resolution into applications and scientific workflows.
Integrates specialized resources such as LPSN, MycoBank and GBIF through a common, extensible architecture.
The taxonomic infrastructure that powers menta® today and that any scientific application can integrate tomorrow.

mentaxonomy
A common architecture for integrating multiple taxonomic sources
Services
Technology, infrastructure and specialized services for scientific environments.
Platform and support
Implementation, maintenance and technical support for menta®, adapted to the organization and technical needs of each laboratory.
Systems and infrastructure
Storage architectures, backup systems and system administration adapted to the real needs of the laboratory.
Integration and evolution
Application integration and evolution of existing systems while maintaining information continuity and traceability.
Experience and approach
Technology built from inside the laboratory
menta is built on more than 25 years of working with systems, data and scientific processes in real environments.
Direct experience
Collections, interoperability and scientific management
Experience developed at the Spanish Type Culture Collection (CECT) and through several European projects has provided a practical understanding of how scientific information is generated, organized and maintained over the long term.
A complete view
Software is only one part of the system
Daily work also depends on infrastructure, storage, backups, access control, change traceability and information availability.
Our own approach
We do not adapt generic solutions to the laboratory
We design specialized technology from the operational, technical and documentary reality of scientific work, ready to evolve with each organization.
Technology must adapt to the laboratory, not the other way around.
Let's talk
If you think menta could help your organization organize, connect and make better use of its scientific information, we'd be delighted to hear from you.
