On the hunt for a large-scale Lims
Hunt Biobank has selected Thermo Scientific Nautilus Lims for one of the largest population-based health studies ever undertaken, with about 100,000 participants from Norway
Atlas 2003 is shipping to customers in June and was previewed at Pittcon 2003 in Orlando FL in March.
Atlas 2003's support for PDA/3D data acquisition offers chromatographers considerable productivity benefits, for example in method development through rapid determination of the best detection wavelength and automated peak purity assessment.
Atlas now supports the creation of spectral library database, enabling chromatographers to search for matching spectra to confirm peak identity.

New SampleManager Lims functionality for ISO 17025
Thermo Fisher Scientific will introduce new functionality to its flagship SampleManager Lims that facilitates compliance with the requirements of ISO 17025: 2005, at Analytica 2008 in Munich
New Atlas functionality also includes direct control for the Finnigan Trace GC, via a virtual keypad representation of the instrument's control panel.
In addition to providing comprehensive control of all Thermo LC and GC instruments, the company has worked with other major chromatography instrument vendors to incorporate control of their systems into Atlas 2003 CDS.
Because of this cross-functional capability, the confusion, complexity, and expense of having multiple control software packages for each manufacturer's instruments is eliminated.
Atlas also enables seamless integration with Lims and solutions for data archival and electronic record keeping.
Thermo Electron says it is the only company to offer CDS, Lims, and data archival systems, allowing these applications to integrate as a single informatics solution.
Atlas is a modern chromatography data system focused on delivering laboratory productivity by adapting to laboratory workflow and offering improved ease of use.
Its design means it is highly scaleable and as applicable for single workstations as it is for networked laboratories with multiple users and channels.
Atlas supports full compliance with the FDA's 21 CFR Part 11 ruling on electronic signatures and records.
System administrators are able to control access to all functions, while Atlas automatically records changes to workbooks, creates secure log files to track all system changes, and detects modifications to data from outside sources, all of which ensure the validity and security of Atlas data.
Atlas can be configured to fit the laboratory workflow to support both research and production environments, increasing overall productivity. Request a free brochure from Thermo Fisher Scientific Informatics ...
