Thermo announces major enhancements to eRecordManager LDMS
Thermo Electron Corporation announces the release of a host of significant extensions to its leading eRecordManager Laboratory Data Management System (LDMS), including conversion capability for data formats from Agilent instrumentation and legacy Hewlett-Packard Chromatography Data Systems.
eRecordManager is Thermo’s award-winning solution that helps customers to capture, store and index large volumes of laboratory instrument data. Along with the original data, the content of each stored record is converted into XML to preserve its scientific meaning and allow better research collaboration and knowledge management. This latest release, eRecordManager GAML Converter Update 2004 R1, adds support for the following instrument data formats:
- Agilent/Hewlett-Packard ChemServer
- Agilent/Hewlett-Packard ChemStation LC/GC/CE/PDA/MS
- Thermo SOLAAR Atomic Absorption
- Thermo AB2 Fluorescence
- Thermo Thru-Put Target and Target DB
Thermo has also enhanced a number of existing converters for more advanced functionality and support of a wider range on instrumentation, including:
- AnDI NetCDF Chromatography Data Interchange
- Hitachi D7000 HSM Chromatography Data System
- Agilent/Hewlett-Packard HPLAS Chromatography Data System
- Bruker XWIN-NMR
- Waters/Micromass MassLynx
Thermo is committed to providing converters for all commonly used instrument data formats. By storing both the original proprietary instrument files and converting their content into XML, eRecordManager provides analytical research and life science organizations the ability to share, compare, query and visualize instrument data, with or without the original instrument hardware or software. In today’s highly competitive marketplace, timely access to scientific data and information across physical location, instrument platform and project is a critical component for performing research more efficiently and managing corporate knowledge more effectively.
Thermo Electron was recently named Life Sciences Instrument Company of the Year by Frost & Sullivan. Thermo was selected because of their ability to provide total solutions to customers, from outfitting an entire lab with equipment to prepare and analyze samples, to software that manages all the data.
Converting data into XML allows data visualization and further processing to be carried out independent of the original application. The same data is shown in Thermo’s eRecordManager LDMS and in Agilent LC ChemStation.
