Thermo LabSystems has announced that eRecordManager 2001 Release 1 (R1) began shipping in October before making its official debut at PittCon 2002, New Orleans, next March.
eRecordManager is designed to meet the requirements for securely storing spectral and chromatographic data from multiple data formats.
Thermo LabSystems claims it offers unique functionality for addressing the long-term record-keeping requirements of all science-based industries.
Features available in eRecordManager 2001 R1 include Oracle-based Security providing authentication, auditing, version control, and electronic signatures for compliance with the FDA's 21 CFR Part 11 ruling.
Other features include long term archival - in addition to storing files in their original format, eRecordManager automates the translation of over 150 analytical data file formats into a platform neutral format based on XML.
When storing instrument data, eRecordManager makes use of a new public domain XML schema known as Generalised Analytical Mark Language (GAML).
The schema and additional information on the GAML data format is available for downloading over the web.
Automated archiving operation - based on user configurable archive policies.
Use of mtadata - secific fields can be extracted from the archived data and used for subsequent searching and data mining.
Enhanced data searching - utilising folders and dynamic filters, users can segregate their data in multiple ways.
Easy viewing of spectral data - with the use of the GAML explorer, users are able to view data in a way that makes sense to them.
Data is organised according to experiments, which can be easily incorporated into laboratory reports.
Integration with other systems - integrated support with the Thermo Galactic suite of desktop spectroscopy software (including Grams/AIO), to allow advanced reprocessing, visualisation and library searching of spectral data. eRecordManager also incorporates a comprehensive set of interfaces for linking with other systems.
eRecordManager 2001 R1 is validated against Oracle 8.1.7 (8i) and is supported on Windows 2000, NT4 and 98.
