Data Manager is Incorporated into Nautilus LIMS 8.0 to Deliver Complete Data Storage and Retrieval System

Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., has incorporated award-winning data management functionality into its Nautilus LIMS? version 8.0. Now installed with Data Manager, Thermo Scientific Nautilus can capture, archive and store both derived and raw instrument data, permitting users instant access and manipulation of the data without the original software.

Data Manager is a complete storage and retrieval system that understands and preserves analytical data, documents and PDF (Portable Document Format) files. It is able to view, search and manipulate real data and its metadata without the original application. Designed to address long term storage issues by being platform and manufacturer independent "Data Manager surpasses the traditional scientific data archiving approach which only captures proprietary format data files together with "pictures" of the data which cannot be further manipulated"

Thermo Scientific Nautilus 8.0 has been designed to give scientists a comprehensive instrument unified view of all relevant data directly from the LIMS rather than at the lab bench via multiple software packages. Drawing on technology from Thermo Scientific's GRAMS? Suite - the premier solution for visualizing, processing and managing spectroscopy data (www.thermo.com/grams) - the Data Manager module converts instrument data to a vendor neutral XML format and allows automatic linking to LIMS entities for instant investigation of suspect results.
