Mountain States Consulting has announced the release of the MSC-LIMS version 3.2.
MSC-LIMS 3.2 builds on version 3.1's streamlined user interface to provide more efficient sample login, enhanced query controls, expanded label scripting and printing options, and optional audit trailing of changes to sample characteristics.
Version 3.2 streamlines sample login.
Users pre-configure customer specific sample login options using any combination of the available sample characteristics.
The system then presents a pick list of the customer's options during sample login.
Eliminating the need to select multiple criteria field by field, version 3.2 allows users to select an option from the pop-up screen to add the characteristics to the sample login screen.
MSC-LIMS's query controls may be used to either include or exclude any number of specified criteria during the query process.
Toggling the criteria check boxes results in a refined selection for the user.
To speed sample processing, lab personnel may also create any number of label scripts and assign them to projects.
The scripts are then available in pop-up dialog form during sample login.
Users may select a pre-defined label script, or use building controls to build a script on the fly with proper syntax with little or no manual editing.
MSC-LIMS users may print or reprint labels for single or multiple samples, using the selected label style or a label script.
Other upgrades include enhanced audit trail features which allow managers to enable audit trailing of specific sample characteristic fields on demand.
