Mettler Toledo has released the LabX 2010 laboratory and instrument control software, suitable for use in the food and beverage, flavours and fragrances, petrochemicals and pharmaceutical industries.
This software supports customer applications and manages their data in a straightforward, fast and secure manner, according to the company.
LabX 2010 supports XP and XS Balances as well as Mettler Toledo's new Liquiphysics Excellence density meters and refractometers.
Laboratory solutions powered by LabX 2010 enable customers to perform daily tasks directly on the instrument.
LabX 2010 securely manages the customer's entire application, including performing calculations, guiding users through procedures and generating reports that can be fully customised.
It also has the capacity for secure data storage and data export/import and provides full regulatory support if required.
The LabX 2010 server edition enables the connection of up to 30 laboratory instruments, thereby providing the bidirectional transfer of data and task information into and from management systems such as ELN, LIMS or SAP.
Users can perform daily tasks directly on the instrument touch screen; they are guided through their procedures in a failsafe and step-wise manner.
By using the graphical method editor interface, standard applications can be adapted to any type of workflow, without the need for programming.
LabX 2010 provides a complete range of ready-to-use method and report templates for most standard applications.
The software also ensures that instruments are tested correctly and informs the user whether the instruments are ready for use.
LabX 2010 can be tailored to fit individual process requirements; the user can add options to fulfil the needs of regulated environments, product handling or automated import and export.
The software supports Liquiphysics Excellence, which is designed to facilitate density and refractive index determinations.
For example, the software automatically converts all measurement results into user-defined units, such as alcohol concentrations.
LabX 2010 runs Smartcode, which enables methods to be executed automatically.
By scanning the information on the sample's barcode, samples are always processed in a predefined way.
