Millennium32/Empower™ and StarLIMS Interface
A typical analytical laboratory generates hundreds or even thousands of test results daily which must be securely stored for long periods. Laboratory information management system (LIMS) is software for tracking individual samples and the information obtained on them with balances (weight), pH meters (pH), HPLC instrumentation (purity) and other analytical tools. Labs often use LIMS products as final report and release tools. Only after the results of all analytical techniques have been reviewed in LIMS, is a product released or rejected.
Millennium32 Review Application invoked within StarLIMS™
A Chromatography Data System (CDS) creates chromatographic methods of analysis, controls chromatography instrumentation, acquires raw data and processes it into results, archives the results, or imports and/or exports results (e.g., sample name, compound name, area and amount) to and from information systems such as a LIMS. Liquid and gas chromatography are ubiquitous techniques in research and development and quality control laboratories.
The critical role of an evolved CDS/LIMS interface accomplished by a joint effort of Waters® and L.i.M.S. is to enable scientists and technical staff to seamlessly move electronic records between Millennium32/Empower software and StarLIMS software without generating any additional non-controlled files. This is a superior enhancement for labs complying with 21 CFR Part 11 requirements encompassing security, data integrity, traceability, and audit trail generation.
