Updated software combines analytical workflow management and integrated instrument control with secure raw data archiving
Creon Lab Control has announced the availability of Q-Dis/R version 1.4.5, the analytical workflow management tool for scientists in the life sciences around the world.
Developed in consultation with major pharma and chemical companies, Q-Dis/R combines analytical workflow management and integrated instrument control with secure raw data archiving.
Newly integrated is a sequence editor to enhance instrument control capabilities for chromatography software solutions.
Also new is an easy-to-use web-interface, which allows search and retrieval of all information via a standard web browser.
There is no longer the need to install extra software.
"To meet the ever increasing pressure to deliver new leads in pharma for examples requires a very productive environment.
To ensure fast and reliable research, results from analytical instruments have to be stored automatically with metadata and interpretation into a database for later reprocessing and evaluation," said Thorsten Fr”hlich, member of the board responsible for marketing and product innovation.
"The fast access via the intra-/internet to these research results becomes a critical tool for companies seeking to improve their product development process." Unlike general archiving tools, simple workflow packages, or add-on spectroscopy and chromatography modules, Q-Dis/R is purpose built to combine analytical workflow and integrated instrument control with secure raw data archiving.
The 1.4.5 release of Q-Dis/R delivers powerful new capabilities: A new Instrument Wizard improves productivity by supporting instrument configuration and the storage of instrument data.
A new web-client allows users to create orders by simply selecting the analytical method, significantly enhancing productivity.
An enhanced intuitive web-workspace further automates the search and retrieval of analytical orders to improve collaboration throughout the organisation.
A new Sequence Editor enhances instrument control capabilities for chromatography solutions by means of a quick set-up of sequences with a full set of support functions.
Designed from the very beginning to operate in a heterogeneous environment of applications and databases, Q-Dis/R communicates connectivity information via a lightweight XML schema.
This facilitates the integration of Q-Dis/R into an existing environment of legacy applications and systems while reducing errors by eliminating the need to manually transfer connectivity information to coworkers and other applications.
