Elan v3.4 supports increased sample
throughput
PerkinElmer debuted at Pittcon 2007 its new PerkinElmer Sciex Elan v3.4 software for inductively coupled mass spectroscopy (ICP-MS) instrumentation
Sciex Elan v3.4 software has fully automated features to help increase consistency of performance and efficiencies in laboratories with high-productivity demands, including environmental, clinical and geochemical laboratories, and laboratories in the food, nutrition and semiconductor industries This new software features enhanced productivity tools such as a new scheduler feature that allows laboratories to pre-set daily performance checks and to automatically load samples and conduct unattended testing procedures, eliminating the need to manually schedule each test

Manage the entire gene expression process
With microarray labs generating more than one million primary data points daily, this gene expression data management software could speed up actual gene and drug discovery
Procedures such as auto start and warm-up can be set up to run over night, or early in the morning, resulting in significant time and cost savings for laboratories.
Automated tests also help improve data reliability due to the reduction in operator intervention.
"The Elan v3.4 reflects what customers asked us for - easy-to-use software that helps them increase throughput in their laboratories, regardless of skill level," said Ian Shuttler, inorganic business manager for PerkinElmer Life and Analytical Sciences.
"The automated features enable scientists and researchers to plan the day's analyses for maximum efficiency and to ensure consistency of performance".
The software features enhancements to PerkinElmer's patented Dynamic Reaction Cell (DRC) technology with new fully automated method development optimization that minimises analysis time for users.
It also simplifies DRC method development by integrating a script, to determine the appropriate testing process.
Also included is an improved, user-friendly SmartTune feature for unattended multi-parameter optimization of the ICP-MS instrumentation.
A SmartTune window added to the workspace offers improved layout, expanded and improved functionality and more comprehensive and consistent data results.
The Elan software is compatible with all PerkinElmer Elan instrumentation and is manufactured through an agreement with MDS Sciex.
