Symyx Technologies has announced an out-of-the-box integration of Symyx Notebook and Thermo Scientific Watson LIMS.
The integration enables scientists engaged in biological and bioanalytical workflows to electronically pass study information, sample lists, experimental results and reports between the electronic laboratory notebook (ELN) and the LIMS.
The Symyx Notebook and Thermo Scientific Watson LIMS integration enhances the value of laboratory information throughout an R+D organisation by enabling scientists to access critical experimental information quickly and efficiently.
Other benefits include the ability to design studies in Watson LIMS and publish them in Symyx Notebook; transfer sample information from Symyx Notebook into Watson LIMS; document lab activities (including sample preparation) in Symyx Notebook; annotate Watson LIMS worklists in Symyx Notebook; perform supplementary calculations and analysis in Symyx Notebook and transfer completed Watson LIMS reports back to Symyx Notebook.
A typical integrated workflow might involve setting up Watson drug metabolism/pharmacokinetic (DMPK) study parameters in Symyx Notebook, transferring the DMPK setup to Watson LIMS, executing the study and analysis in Watson LIMS and reporting the results back through Symyx Notebook.
Thermo Scientific Watson LIMS is a protocol-driven laboratory information management system (LIMS) designed for drug metabolism/pharmacokinetic studies and bioanalytical testing.
Symyx Notebook is a single, multi-disciplinary electronic laboratory notebook.
The Symyx Isentris data access, analysis and decision support system enables scientists to leverage corporate, commercial and local database information in an integrated, self-service research environment.
