Instrument Interfacing
Full Instrument Interfacing and Management
This function removes the manual entering of data, or even the cutting and pasting of data from the instrument to the QMSQC LIMS, eliminates operator error, saves time and effort, and survives increased scrutiny in any lab including FDA regulated labs where data integrity is paramount. Increasing productivity, sample throughput, and effectiveness are key goals in all QC and testing labs and research labs so that scientists can spend more time on science and less on mundane tasks. QMSQC can interface literally to any type of instrument through automated unidirectional data pumps and can even do stoichiometric calculations in stream. Integration with Barcoding allows even Simple instruments to use unassisted interfacing from within the instrument entry screens. QMSQC effortlessly manages data from all your lab’s instrumentation with no separate middleware required. It supports manufacturing, environmental, clinical chemistry, toxicology, or genetic testing, including most types of laboratory robotics. Within the output files, the metadata needed to allow unassisted interfacing is done by QMSQC sever data pumps, parsing the information/results into the database. QMSQC can use Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) to import data, information, protocols, worklists, commands, function calls, and more from data and robotic systems programmatically.
Not only will interfacing the instruments increase the scientist’s satisfaction and performance levels, but it will also increase the rate of new software adoption since once the scientists feel that QMSQC actually helps them, they will be more likely to fully utilize it.
QMSQC’s framework enables integration of instruments and systems across the enterprise. This includes a data integration platform for instruments and enterprise-wide system interfacing to all the instruments and data pumps for system interoperability and diagnostics. Maintenance records for laboratory equipment, service dates, and inventory lists of all equipment with maintenance logs can be maintained allowing printing of equipment maintenance histories.
