LimsLink CDS
Interfaces for chromatography data systems
The new LimsLink CDS from Labtronics Inc, Guelph, Ontario, combines seamless, embedded CDS/LIMS interfaces for four top chromatography data systems in one solution and introduces a new interface for Chromeleon CDS and an upgraded interface for Empower, TotalChrom, and ChemStation embedded interfaces. LimsLink CDS v4.1 interfaces give labs direct and transparent connection between their chromatography data systems and LIMS, allowing analysts to create sequences and send results straight to LIMS from within their CDS client. The interfaces speed up delivery of chromatography results to LIMS by reducing the amount of time analysts spend on chromatography data management. The Special Function Suite is part of the CDS v4.1 solution, extending the data-management capabilities of the core CDS application. The Special Function Suite supports the creation of interfaces that go beyond data transfer, automating as much of the CDS data-management process as possible.
