QSI is launching a Rental Instrument Interfacing Service that enables WinLims Rental customers to cost effectively interface their instruments to their WinLims systems
Instrument interfacing provides numerous benefits for most laboratories including greatly reducing the requirement for manual results entry and eliminating transcription errors.
The QSI Rental Instrument Interfacing Service enables single and bi-directional instrument interfaces to be fully configured for the customer's instrument types for as little as ?30 per month per instrument type.
Using the service a company with five gas chromatography systems of the same type and model would only need to pay ?30 per month to cover all five instruments.
"Instrument interfacing with most Lims vendors can be an expensive exercise involving the purchase of interfacing software and a custom setup service for each instrument type.
"This often requires an additional Lims licence for each instrument connected to the Lims," explained QSI's UK managing director Clive Collier.
"The Rental Instrument Interfacing Service enables WinLims Rental customers to achieve the benefits of instrument interfacing while paying on a rental basis.
"It really is the best of both worlds.
"The return on investment per month is significantly more the than the monthly fee owing to the considerable amount of employee time saved by reducing manual results entry".
QSI's WinLims Rental allows an organisation to use a full Lims for a low monthly fee, with a low up-front cost.
WinLims Rental is identical to QSI's full WinLims system, and comes bundled with an installation programme and tutorials to get users up and running as quickly and easily as possible.
The rental agreements can be converted to a subscription contract or full purchase at any time, keeping an organisation's options open.
The company also offers a rental customisation service to give WinLims Rental customers a cost-effective way of tailoring QSI's WinLims 'out of the box' system to meet their specific information management requirements.
