Labtronics has announced that the Nexxis electronic laboratory notebook (ELN) supports the latest release of Redi Technology for converting paper-based forms into electronic worksheets.
Redi Technology is said to speed up the time required to develop ELN worksheets, reducing the time it takes to deploy an ELN.
It is a graphical process that allows users with little training to develop highly automated worksheets.
Users simply drag and drop controls onto the worksheet and select a few parameters to define the automation - for example, adding a signature block and selecting 'e-sig with change reason' defines the functionality at run time.
No programming is required.
Redi v5.01 makes it easy to add rich text controls, which can be used to paste in charts, tables and pictures from Microsoft office products as well as lab-specific applications such as chemical drawing programs.
Redi technology also now supports URL links making it easy to add a direct link to raw data files from instruments or to documents in an SDMS, such as Nexxis SDMS.
