Lab Software Suite Unifies Scientific Date

Agilent Technologies Inc introduced the OpenLAB software portfolio, designed as a better way for labs to efficiently capture, share, review and archive scientific data.

“Customers want solutions that reduce the time from discovery to delivery of a new chemical or biological entity,” said Nick Roelofs, PhD, Oresident, Agilent Life Sciences Group. “By providing solutions that support evolution of existing systems, minimising retraining, the OpenLAB portfolio protects a laboratory’s investment and knowledge. Customers will benefit from the productivity enhancements faster, through the integrated collaboration and data management tools.”

“OpenLAB is scalable, open architecture, based on industry open standards, that enables customers to easily capture, analyse and share scientific data throughout the lab and across the enterprise,” said Tony Owen, Agilent Senior Manager, Software and Professional Services Marketing. “The new OpenLAB portfolio resolves a number of software challenges that affect labs of all sizes, and our open-systems approach means customers design the lab they want rather than having to work around their software systems.”

Agilent OpenLAB consists of three integrated solutions: OpenLAB Chromatography Data System (CDS); OpenLAB Electronic Lab Notebook

(ELN); and OpenLAB Enterprise Content Manager (ECM). The system is designed to grow with customers’ needs, from a small standalone analytical lab through a global network with hundreds of locations. Agilent OpenLAB is instrument vendor-neutral and provides easy migration paths from existing systems, protecting customers’ investments in existing systems.
