Automated Reporting Streamlines Laboratory Workflow

Aitken Scientific's new Report Combiner software is delivering significant improvements in productivity for the chemical sample analysis and reporting service of a major pharmaceutical laboratory.

By consolidating the output from different types of mass spectrometers, the flexible and customisable software generates comprehensive analytical reports in a consistent standardised format. Unnecessary data manipulation has been eliminated improving laboratory workflow and sample throughput by freeing up scientific staff for more demanding tasks.

Manual collation of such information was previously time-consuming and repetitive, as each laboratory instrument created its own reports which had to be annotated and scanned individually. With this application, analytical chemists can now capture molecular structures from chemical drawing packages, images from the screen of interest and printed reports from any application, all traceable through sample ID barcodes and database keywords.

Using a pre-defined template, the Report Combiner automatically builds the final report from the database elements. Internal customers receive a high quality document via email for attachment to the appropriate electronic laboratory notebook record.
