New Informatics Offerings to Be Showcased at Analytica 2008

Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc will showcase its new informatics offerings on #105/204, Hall B1 at Analytica 2008, Messegelände Munich, from April 1 – 4, 2008. In keeping with the “Moving Science Forward” theme of its Thermo Scientific-branded products, the company will unveil a range of innovative new informatics products designed specifically to help scientists plan, manage and optimise the performance of their laboratories. The Thermo Scientific informatics exhibit at Analytica 2008 will feature new additions to its laboratory information management system (LIMS) and chromatography data system (CDS) portfolio, including the European debut of Darwin 3.0 LIMS, its purpose-built solution for pharmaceutical manufacturing, R&D and QA/QC laboratories. The newest features built into the latest release of Darwin have been designed to help organisations meet FDA regulations, bring significant time savings in validation efforts, and afford cost savings in personnel and production time to the pharmaceutical
laboratories. Darwin LIMS fully integrates environmental monitoring data into the batch record. The built-in charting tools allow users to visualise environmental monitoring samples by location. This ensures that any failure is apparent at the batch level and allows operations to quickly determine whether the source of the contamination is in the laboratory or the production environment. This functionality enables laboratory managers to react to nonconforming product before it reaches the consumer.
Also on display will be Thermo Scientific SampleManager LIMS™, the company’s flagship product for industrial process laboratories. SampleManager 9.2 makes its Analytica debut on booths #105/204. With
version 9.2, SampleManager users benefit from a new and intuitive interface that is built on the Microsoft .NET framework with easy-to-use functionality. When users select data sets, the new, “inductive”
interface simplifies work by presenting only certain, pre-defined tasks or steps that can be followed – greatly reducing errors and saving time. SampleManager also addresses the growing market need to
comply with ISO 17025, specifically validation of methods, instrument calibration, control of non-conformance testing and reporting of results. Visitors to the booth will also see a “sneak preview” of the nextgeneration Thermo Scientific Chromatography Data System (CDS), which integrates with LIMS and other data management systems to control LC/GC instruments and modules from numerous vendors in a manner that enables compliance with FDA regulations, including 21 CFR Part 11. The newest version of Atlas CDS™ also provides for chromatographic data mining, scalable WAN deployments, and enhanced security, in a real 24/7 acquisition environment. Thermo Scientific Atlas CDS provides a highly scalable client/server environment for laboratory LAN and WAN networks across a range of industrial settings such as pharmaceutical, petrochemical, chemical, environmental, water and wastewater treatment, and the food and beverage.
