PerkinElmer Inc (NYSE: PKI), a leading provider of drug discovery, life science research, and analytical solutions, today announced the release of the dotLINKTM interface for TotalChrom® Workstation and Client Server systems. The new dotLINK interface enables Ethernet connectivity directly to the local area network (LAN), simplifying network architecture setup and configuration. TotalChrom users can now access and monitor multiple instruments simultaneously through the Ethernet.

 

Through the use of an internal dotLINK interface board, built-in local area networking is now standard for all PerkinElmer Clarus® 500 Gas Chromatographs (GC).  An external dotLINK interface device is available for PerkinElmer Series 200 High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) systems and third-party control, providing immediate connectivity and eliminating the need for terminal servers. In addition, the dotLINK interface allows enhanced instrument control and data buffering while providing a small footprint link box that frees up additional space in the laboratory.

 

The dotLINK interface addresses the urgent needs of today’s fast-paced, high-throughput laboratories by providing Ethernet connectivity to the LAN.  This offering is another example of PerkinElmer’s commitment to the productivity and data integrity needs of our users,” said Jonathan Rennert, vice president and general manager of the Analytical Sciences business for PerkinElmer Life and Analytical Sciences.
