Links For LIMS™ the Laboratory Information System Software from CSols.
CSols Links for LIMS™ is a complete instrument integration package for analytical laboratories. This compliant, configurable and easy to use instrument interfacing and integration software package will provide noticeable time savings and reduction in data processing errors. Additionally, this provides an effective solution to address the fact that raw instrument results cannot usually be reported directly without review, manipulation and validation.
Challenges Links for LIMS Eliminates
Customers can benefit from instrument-based techniques used to perform analyses in laboratories. However, in order for a laboratory to maximise its (often considerable) investment in those instruments by effectively ensuring the reporting of quality laboratory results accurately (and quickly) to its customers, it must typically overcome two challenges:
- Firstly, navigate / link to its own organisation’s IT system – where communication protocols and formats are rarely compatible between instruments and IT systems.
- Additionally, implement the company’s analytical techniques / Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) / Quality Control (QC) procedures.
Links for LIMS is an easy to use software package that improves laboratory efficiency, delivers time savings and reduces errors in data processing, and provides an overall quality improvement in laboratory data management. Also, it has a proven track record in many laboratories, linking to a range of LIMS (SampleManager, LabWorks, iSoft) and instruments (Agilent GC, LC and ICPs, Thermo iCAPs, X Series, LC and GC, Skalar and many more).
Links for LIMS Functionality
Furthermore, CSols Links for LIMS manipulates data files enabling analysts to carry out their tasks efficiently and compliantly. Many actions are automated and keyboard and mouse interaction is kept to a bare minimum; consequently there are no laborious manual data transfers that could lead to transcription errors. The spreadsheet style view of the data allows the analyst to quickly assess the quality of the data from an instrument run and identify any issues that require investigation prior to submission. Results are NOT sent to the LIMS system without the authority of the analyst.
Features & Benefits
