LimsLinkCDS Connects with TotalChrom (January 2004)

LimsLink^CDS adds new menu items to TotalChrom that allow the analyst to access the LIMS from within the CDS application. Access to the menus is controlled by the TotalChrom security system, eliminating the need for a separate logon to use the interface. 

LIMS worklists can be selected from directly within TotalChrom. The analyst can view and edit the worklist to ensure it is complete and accurate before it is automatically expanded to include standards, check samples and replicates. The final TotalChrom sequence can be approved by the analyst before being transferred directly to the CDS. 

Configuration of the LimsLink^CDS/TotalChrom interface is quick and easy using drop-down menus and check-boxes that use TotalChrom terminology. Each analyst or group of analysts can store their own interfacing configurations. LimsLink^CDS can automatically pre-define paths and names for sequences and results, reducing the amount of analyst interaction at runtime.

This version of LimsLink^CDS also gives analysts the ability to display TotalChrom chromatograms from inside their LIMS, allowing for faster more efficient approval of sample results.
