Labtronics has released a connector between Limslink and Agilent's Openlab ECM, which is said to make it easy for laboratories to connect instruments to both systems at the same time.
Limslink is an instrument-to-Lims interfacing solution that has been expanded to support Openlab v3.3.
Using Limslink, a single parser needs to be defined for each instrument.
Once Limslink understands the data, it is able to send results to Lims, and metadata to Openlab ECM.
It then also sends the original data file to Openlab ECM.
Customers already using Limslink can add this extra functionality without major changes to their current interface methods.
Limslink is also able to exchange data between the Lims and Openlab ECM.
For example, it is able to transfer Lims sample information to the ECM.
It is also able to take the Openlab ECM URL that points to the raw data file and send it to Lims.
With this information the analyst can click on the URL in Lims and immediately see the raw data file associated with any results.
This makes review of data in Lims much easier, according to Labtronics.
Limslink is also able to interface other third-party systems such as electronic laboratory notebooks or SAP to Openlab ECM.
