Latest release incorporate a new calculation engine with greatly enhanced flexibility and functionality offering powerful new tools for laboratory data management
Most existing Lims applications are based on calculation engines with very restricted functionality and are therefore unable to carry out frequently required but more complex tasks like interpretation of results or statistical process control within the basic package.
Even re-defining simple calculation routines often means going back to the core programme.
The latest release from QSI incorporate a new calculation engine with greatly enhanced flexibility and functionality offering powerful new tools for laboratory data management.
Virtually all mathematical functions are supported, including Boolean algebra: functions such as [IF], [THEN] etc, especially useful when working in the GLP or GMP environments.
The software's exceptional flexibility allows calculation routines that can use numeric values from anywhere within the WinLims tables, enabling techniques such as 'cross sample' calculation, ie, the ability to incorporate results from one sample in the calculation of results for another.
An example of this might be the application of correction coefficients - tracking the performance of an analysis against calibration standards - to correct results 'on the fly' at any time in a series of measurements. Not only is this the most flexible calculation engine found in any core Lims product, but the 'point and click' user interface confers exceptional ease of use and parameter selection.
The product is also compatible with web technology, which QSI predict will be fundamental to the future development of Lims.
