Lablogic Systems has helped a biopharmaceutical company to create a reporting tool that can query for study data held in its Debra drug metabolism laboratory information management system (LIMS).
The Pipeline Pilot reporting tool can also deliver a customised report in a form that is said to be meaningful to users.
The company uses the Accelrys Pipeline Pilot in many departments for querying information in multiple databases and the reporting tool it has developed with Lablogic makes it easier to retrieve study information held in Debra.
By querying for studies based on specified attributes, users can gain access to relevant data and information from several software applications, even if they are not personally familiar with them.
For example, they can search across studies to find all the projects run on a particular compound within a certain date range.
Users are presented with summary information on those projects and can then drill down to get specific reporting information, such as dosing data and sampling times.
Huw Loaring, Lablogic systems director, said that Debra holds its reports in specific categories such as dosing, formulation and sampling.
He said: 'Using an external query tool such as Pipeline Pilot allows users to cross these boundaries and build additional reports.
'If they wish, customers can build their own report queries manually or extract data to their company compound database of course but, as in this case, we are always willing to work with them by providing information about Debra's database structure and supplying sample queries, which, in our experience, gives faster and more reliable results,' added Loaring.
