Labtronics LimsLinkCDS Enables Interface of Agilent Cerity for Pharmaceutical QA/QC with Any LIMS

 Labtronics Inc. and Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) today announced the availability of a secure, bi-directional LimsLinkCDS interface that connects Agilent Cerity for Pharmaceutical QA/QC with any Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS). The interface enables users to communicate and transfer data between the Cerity chromatography data system (CDS) and any LIMS efficiently, securely and in accordance with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s ruling on electronic records and signatures (21 CFR Part 11).

Cerity users can use the LimsLinkCDS/Cerity interface to query their LIMS for a list of samples that are due for testing. The LIMS worklist can then be automatically expanded to include special samples such as standards, controls and replicates. LimsLinkCDS formats the completed sequences and transfers them to the Cerity CDS using the secure Cerity XML Import interface. The LimsLinkCDS/Cerity interface can capture any printed report from Cerity and transfer the report data directly to the LIMS, with a single click of the mouse.

The integration of LimsLinkCDS and Cerity for Pharmaceutical QA/QC provides Cerity users with a secure, off-the-shelf solution for LIMS interfacing that can be configured through a set-up menu, without the need for a customization project. Agilent and Labtronics will work together on the successful deployment of the solution in their customers’ environments.
