New breed of electronic laboratory notebook allows companies to easily convert their paper worksheets into electronic forms and control the scheduling, completion and approval of each worksheet
Labtronics demonstrated two new technologies at Pittcon 2005: Nexxis qELN and LimsLinkCDS.
Nexxis qELN is an electronic laboratory notebook for the QA/QC lab, and LimsLinkCDS provides a bi-directional interface between any Lims and any CDS using embedded interfaces.
Labtronics says it is focused on developing innovative software solutions that help its customers better manage and utilise their laboratory data.
It provides a platform that allows lab personnel to conduct their tests in accordance with corporate SOPs, capture resulting data directly from any instrument or CDS, perform required calculations on the data, and deliver the sample results automatically to any enterprise system such as Lims, SDMS, ERP or even a simple Excel spreadsheet.
Nexxis qELN is a powerful new breed of electronic laboratory notebook that meets laboratory QA/QC requirements in a way that is unmatched by any other solution, claims Labtronics.
It allows companies to easily convert their paper worksheets into electronic forms and control the scheduling, completion and approval of each worksheet, dramatically reducing the time spent on these tasks.
Nexxis qELN imposes tight controls over the user to ensure that procedures are followed correctly every time.
Any data from laboratory instruments required to complete the worksheet can be automatically collected and displayed on the worksheet.
Information from corporate systems can be automatically displayed on the worksheet.
For example, if a specific test sample is selected from a Lims, any associated information with that sample can automatically flow into the worksheet.
Meets 21 CFR Part 11 compliance requirements.
Combining the tight controls for SOP with complete security and audit trail functionality reduces the cost of compliance and simplifies the next audit.
Since Nexxis qELN converts a current paper-based worksheet into an identical electronic copy, very little training is required for analysts.
Nexxis qELN can run on a variety of devices including PCs, tablets, notebooks and wireless systems.
It is said to combine the most advanced technology for data collection and SOP automation with the ability to integrate with existing Lims, ERP and information management applications.
For QA/QC laboratories that are looking for an ELN, Nexxis qELN provides a fully integrated, next generation solution that automates and controls laboratory procedure, says Labtronics.
LimsLinkCDS provides a bi-directional interface between any Lims and any chromatography data system (CDS).
The newest version of LimsLinkCDS allows interfaces to be imbedded directly into a CDS.
Access Lims directly from menus within the CDS, eliminating the need to learn another software product.
The benefits of embedded interfaces include direct connection from CDS to Lims - the interface is transparent to the user.
Use of the security and audit trail in CDS, reducing maintenance work for the administrator and making daily log in steps easier.
Automatic conversion of Lims worklists to CDS sequences, reducing manual entry of sample information.
Expansion of worklists to handle replicates and the addition of special samples such as standards.
Instant reporting to Lims, using the CDS print function - Configurable setup interface eliminates custom programming.
LimsLinkCDS includes configurable interfaces that provide full integration with the major chromatography data systems including Cerity, ChemStation, ChemStation Plus, ChemStore, Chromeleon, EZChrom Elite, Galaxie, Millenium32, Empower, and TotalChrom.
LimsLinkCDS fully addresses the issues of data integrity and security, ensuring users meet all regulatory requirements, says Labtronics.
