Instruments integrated with Agilent's ChemLMS LIMS

Labtronics, a provider of laboratory data integration and management systems, has released the latest version of its LimsLink and LimsLinkCDS instrument interfacing software that is specifically designed for Agilent Technologies' ChemLMS.

Labtronics' LimsLink and LimsLinkCDS provide an off-the-shelf way of integrating any laboratory instruments with Agilent's ChemLMS LIMS.

Labtronics and Agilent have a long history of partnering to provide integrated systems for laboratories.

Robert Pavlis, president of Labtronics, said: "LimsLink and LimsLinkCDS enable Agilent ChemLMS customers to get even more value from their investment by ensuring that ChemLMS and their instruments are sharing data quickly and accurately".

Jim Miller, life science and chemical analysis director of software and informatics at Agilent Technologies, said: "By partnering with Labtronics, Agilent is able to move forward on our open system strategy to connect our LIMS to any instruments with a seamless and fileless interface to a broad range of Agilent and non-Agilent data systems." One of the most powerful features of LimsLink is its ability to embed the Labtronics integration functionality directly into some of the most popular chromatography data systems (CDS) available.

Directly from the CDS, users can transparently and securely 'window' into the LIMS, pull the worklist of interest, and create ready-to-run sequences in CDS.

The embedded LIMS interface will simply be added as a menu item within the users' CDS, making it easy for them to learn and use, says Labtronics.

CDS products that currently support the embedded integration with Agilent's ChemLMS LIMS are Agilent ChemStation, Agilent ChemStation Plus, Agilent Cerity, Waters Empower, Waters Millennium32, PerkinElmer TotalChrom, PerkinElmer TurboChrom and Varian Galaxie.

Agilent CheLMS is a powerful and fully secure LIMS that allows site-specific customisation and configuration.
