Labtronics has released Nexxis Ilab 5.02, a laboratory automation system that features ELN, SDMS and instrument integration in a single package that is ready to use out of the box.
The system is claimed to enhance the value of any existing laboratory information management system (LIMS) by providing added functionality.
Nexxis Ilab 5.02 adds enhanced Oracle support.
All instrument and ELN data can be stored in Oracle databases using standard Oracle functionality.
The enhancements result in a faster system and better reporting capabilities, according to the company.
Functionality has been added to Nexxis Ilab that allows the Nexxis ELN module to collect data from complex instruments.
Data from instruments such as CDS, ICP and mass specs can now be automatically captured and added to ELN worksheets.
Nexxis ELN is also able to communicate with the LIMS directly, allowing it to retrieve sample information.
With a focus on real-time integration and workflow control, Nexxis Ilab works at the bench level.
It controls the analyst step by step to ensure that mistakes are never made.
Instead of tracking training records, it enforces training and prevents an analyst from doing work if training has expired.
Expiration dates on chemicals and the calibration of instruments are always current and enforced.
Real-time control over the work in the laboratory translates into simplified approval processes and faster product releases.
