Lims's archiving functionality allows users to automatically transfer data from active tables to archived tables and back again, using interactive and background tools
Thermo Electron announces greater speed and efficiency in data archiving and plate planning with version 7.0 of Nautilus Lims.
Nautilus is Thermo's dedicated laboratory information management system (Lims) for early stage discovery in biotechnology research and discovery.
Nautilus's archiving functionality allows users to automatically transfer data from active tables to archived tables and back again, using interactive and background tools.
Multiple archives can be created in Nautilus, so all data related to a specific experiment or study can be collected in - and more easily retrieved from - a designated archive.
Plate Plans in Nautilus are used to automate activities carried out on single or groups of plates.
Users can monitor the progress of experiments, group and organise plates, execute actions and add workflows to be carried out on the plates within the plan.
In addition, image results are now supported in Nautilus, which enables image files to be stored in the database as results and visualised within the application using the Result Browser.
Described as essential to high throughput laboratories, visualisation speeds interpretation and analysis of results.
"With Nautilus 7.0, we set out to provide new functionality around plate planning and visualisation to better serve our drug discovery customers," said Colin Thurston, Nautilus product manager.
"Along with data archiving, this version of Nautilus extends our capabilities for high throughput environments and demonstrates our commitment to Nautilus users".
First released in 1998, Nautilus is described as a flexible, configurable and easily implemented Lims that was developed in partnership with key customers in R and D environments.
