Bio-rad expands its Knowitall enterprise solutions for spectroscopy and chemical information with Enterprise Server version 3.0, and launches Knowitall Anyware browser client
Bio-Rad Laboratories has announced the release of version 3.0 of its KnowItAll Enterprise Server and KnowItAll AnyWare 1.0, a new browser-based client.
With the KnowItAll Enterprise Server version 3.0, a database may be built on the server and viewed worldwide at all sites of an organisation via the KnowItAll Informatics System Windows client or Bio Rad's new KnowItAll AnyWare browser client.
The same server technology that was first introduced in 2003 to deliver Bio-Rad's Sadtler infrared (IR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) reference spectral databases to users via the internet can now be used behind an organisation's firewall to store and search proprietary structural, spectral, chromatographic, and other textual data from chemical, biological, or process environments.
KnowItAll AnyWare, a 100% platform-independent, browser-based, and device-independent client permits the searching and browsing of data stored on a KnowItAll Enterprise Server.
The launch of KnowItAll AnyWare extends the reach of the KnowItAll platform client throughout organizations so any user, using any hardware platform, any operating system, or any web browser, can access spectral, structural, or chromatographic data anywhere in the world.
"Storing and preserving spectral and chromatographic data is a necessary first step in any organization toward being able to convert data into actionable information - information upon which key decisions can be made," explained Gregory Banik, general manager of Bio-Rad's informatics division.
"Making this data centrally accessible and connecting laboratories is the next step and critical to the maintenance and the efficiency of an organisation".
"Bio-Rad's KnowItAll enterprise solutions allow companies to achieve these critical steps and connect their data, people, projects, and tools with one system".
KnowItAll enterprise solutions create centralised, secure, and accessible resources for spectral and chemical information for single laboratories to entire organisations worldwide.
Deployment of these systems incorporates data storage, access, and analysis tools, thus allowing companies to preserve their analytical data, to more effectively share information, and, ultimately, to extract the most knowledge from these valuable resources.
These solutions are easily deployed and managed with little or no database administration or support from IT.
