With PDAa and other portable devices being increasingly used for data transfer in laboratories, this web technology-based wireless solution could be useful
Handheld, palm-tops, personal digital assistants (PDAs) or pocket-sized computers are helping analysts to work more flexibly and efficiently and ensure accurate transfer of results between instruments and back-end software.
By empowering the analyst with tools for a more timely data and easier access to networked corporate intelligence better and faster results will ensue. Current trends show that handheld computers and wireless access portals become increasingly relevant in chemical analysis.
They will seamlessly integrate into corporate information management solutions like quality management systems, Lims, electronic record management, and analytical workflow management tools. "Creon Lab Control has a strong history of delivering leading-edge intelligent analytical management solutions, and Q-Dis/Wireless is further evidence of this strategy," said Thorsten Froehlich, member of the board responsible for marketing and product innovation.
"Our customers are demanding the ability to transfer analytical data securely anytime, anywhere and from any device." This web technology-based wireless solution is based on the latest Microsoft's.Net and Creon's Q-Dis/Panda technology.
Q-Dis/Wireless supports all handheld computers equipped with Wireless Lan network adapters compatible to IEEE 802.11b (Wi-Fi) running on.
Data is entered and automatically sent to Q-Dis/Wireless server and from there directly into Q-Dis/QM Lims or Q-Dis/R Analytical Workflow system.
Q-Dis/Wireless interface technology allows integrating the system also into existing Lims systems.
The biggest threat to the security of handhelds today is loss of the device.
Therefore, Q-Dis/Wireless transfers all information without intermediate storage on the PDA immediately.
The immediate data transfer is documented by a fully traced data trail until the data is stored in the final system.
The personalized data transfer between the PDA and Q-Dis/Wireless server is protected by a 128bit encryption.
Q-Dis/Wireless is 21 CFR Part 11 compliant.
