Cots software highlighted at Analytica 2006

Thermo Electron will showcase its purpose-built, commercial-off-the-shelf (Cots) software for the first time in Europe at Analytica, 25-28 April 2006, New Munich Trade Fair Centre in Munich, Germany

As the leading provider of analytical instruments, equipment, robotics, software and services to these industries, Thermo's exhibit will feature laboratory information management systems (Lims) and chromatography data systems (CDS) that integrate not only with Thermo's other products, but with the customers' enterprise to yield increased productivity and greater knowledge from laboratory data.

Thermo's informatics focus is to offer Cots software that reduces reliance on costly and risky customisations.

"Visitors to Thermo's booth will find tailored Lims for pharmaceutical manufacturing, bioanalysis, in vitro Adme research, and biotechnology applications, as well as for industrial process-oriented laboratories," said Dave Champagne, vice president and general manager of Thermo's informatics business.

"Our value proposition is the reduction in cost, risk and time of implementations, as well as total cost of ownership, that are associated with extensive customisation.

"This is achieved by offering Cots solutions that include a much higher proportion of required functionality in the base system".
