Lablogic Systems has announced that release 4.0.5 of its Laura radiochromatography software brings together all the improvements and innovations of the last twelve months; more than 150 in total.
Optimisation of the Active Counting Mode facility is said to make the software more reproducible with better resolution, sensitivity and control.
There are also interfaces for the Iscan TLC radiopharmaceutical scanner, and Waters Alliance (2695 and 2795) HPLC system and dual-absorbance detectors (2487 and 2489).
Other products receiving support from Laura 4.0.5 include the Agilent Binary-SL pump, Canberra MCA Unispec detector, Gilson autosampler, Gilson FC204 fraction collector, Lablogic's Sofie stop-flow system, the Mini-Scan TLC scanner, Shimadzu HPLC system, Shimadzu autosamplers (SIL-20AHT, SIL-20ACHT) and Xcalibur MS software.
'As always, the new release includes a large number of small enhancements that collectively make the system easier to use,' said Peter Clapham, Lablogic technical director .
'For example, we have modified tools security levels so that their order can be changed and there are different log files for each day, all of which can be kept for up to a week.
'Many of our clients find that they need to manage large numbers of users, so we have made the Project Wizard resizeable so that they can do so easily.
'There is also a new check at start-up to ensure that all instruments are communicating correctly and another in Add Batch to warn the user if the modules in the HPLC stack don't match the configuration in the method.' He added: 'As a final example, we have addressed the problem of running out of solvent or scintillant before the end of a run by adding an estimate of usage on the measurement queue status bar, with a warning if the supply is insufficient.'
