PerkinElmer and Labtronics
Collaboration Provides a Key Tool to Reduce Workload and Data Management Costs
for LABWORKS LIMS Customers
PerkinElmer, Inc. has announced a collaboration with Labtronics Inc., a leader
in laboratory data integration and management solutions, to offer laboratories
more choice for connecting laboratory instruments with LABWORKS Laboratory Information
Management System (LIMS). The collaboration allows laboratories to rapidly
customize solutions for their unique needs. Labtronics provides a flexible
toolkit approach enabling users to adapt their interfaces to meet changing requirements
in-house, thereby reducing the need for outside assistance. This increases laboratory
workflow and analyst skill level, helping to increase productivity and reduce
errors in data transfer. "Increasingly, laboratories are recognizing the
importance of effective interfacing when generating and managing large amounts
of data such as that created by our Inorganic and Chromatography products,”
said Richard Begley, Ph.D., president, Analytical Sciences, PerkinElmer. “This
collaboration helps customers achieve optimal workflow, while enabling them
to eliminate manual data entry." >>>
ATL
to Host LIMS Webcast: Spotlight on the Meat & Poultry
Industry
Accelerated Technology Laboratories, Inc. (ATL)
will host an informational webcast on December 10 on the topic of Laboratory
Information Management Systems (LIMS). This webcast is entitled "Spotlight
on the Meat & Poultry Industry". This event is ideal for lab
operations or QA/QC managers working for meat and poultry processing firms and
commercial food testing laboratories. In the webcast, ATL will focus on
the challenges faced by meat and poultry processing firms. >>>
GenoLogics

contextualize and integrate science data in multiple locations world wide. In
addition to the ability to leverage data standards across labs by virtue of
a common informatics
platform, GenoLogics will provide Pfizer with the tools to enable web-based
collaboration, bioinformatics pipelining, auditability and reporting of cross-science
data. >>>
QSI Integrates
MRP with LIMS as a Rental Solution for Cost Sensitive SMEs
To give manufacturing companies an affordable opportunity to optimise efficiency,
QSI has unveiled its new WinLims For Manufacturing Rental solution that provides
a LIMS software package that is fully integrated with a Materials Resource Planning
(MRP) tool.The new rental solution is aimed principally at small to medium enterprises
(SMEs) that do not already have a MRP or Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)
system. The QSI WinLims For Manufacturing Rental package is a specially designed
version of the company’s popular WinLims that supports fully integrated
MRP functionality to offer smaller enterprises significant cost savings. Those
enterprises opting for the rental solution are able to conserve their capital
and simply pay for the LIMS and MRP capabilities out of their income revenues.
The whole rental package is tax deductable. The integrated solution offers SMEs
the economic benefits of rental plus the cost saving benefits of having a single
data entry point for shared LIMS and MRP data, reduced duplication of data and
the prospect of fewer transcription errors, increased flow of data between systems,
plus overall increased efficiencies in business processes and workflow. >>>

Travel & Learning:
Is Your Presence Required?
2009
is going to be a difficult year for conferences, seminars, and short  courses
looking for attendees. In this time of restricted budgets, spending money
to attend an off-site event has many people wondering if it's worth the
expense and whether they can't get the information they need some other
way, such as on the Internet.
Unfortunately, the Internet rarely offers the depth of detail necessary
to extend one's knowledge in the way that a short course or seminar provides.
And certainly there's nothing quite like the highly subjective encounters
that an exhibit hall offers to look and touch and test drive various instruments
and software as well as meet the people who will support those solutions.
A picture of a Mass Spectrometer may be worth a thousand words, but actually
looking at the instruments, being able to compare various makes and models
at the same time, and talking to their representatives in a neutral environment
is priceless.
The difficulty lies in the number of venues available and selecting the
most worthwhile events that can be justified and budgeted.
See Something
The venerable Pittsburgh Conference (Pittcon) has been steadily attracting
fewer and fewer attendees. The number of exhibitors remains high, but
the quality of the symposiums is uneven. The very technical sessions still
remain the purview of the scientist, but the more general sessions --
particularly the Informatics sessions sad to say -- are largely presented
by vendors pitching their software and services. While this saves a trip
to their booth, the information provided is sometimes misleading and must
be scrutinized. It is still worth going to Pittcon to attend the more
in-depth scientific sessions that feature the latest experiments and research
and to visit the exhibit hall. Certainly no other conference in North
America collects as many vendors in one place. The next Pittcon will be
held March 6-15 in Chicago, IL. For details, visit http://www.Pittcon.org.
Learn Something
But the main reason to venture forth from the lab and office is to learn
something, not go shopping. Thankfully, there are a number of very targeted
small conferences that can provide detailed information in very specific
applications. For instance, Cambridge Healthtech Institute hosted two
back-to-back conferences last September of great interest to researchers
in genetic analysis. Next-Generation Sequencing Data Analysis
and Exploring Next-Generation Sequencing were held at the Rhode
Island Convention Center in Providence, RI from September 21-25. The sessions
were typically half and hour long, which enabled the speakers to provide
a reasonable amount of detail. Short courses were held before the conferences,
a small exhibition hall highlighted about 20 vendors, posters were presented,
and break-out luncheon table discussions of particular topics such as
Accurate Normalization for Accurate Gene Expression and Bioinformatics
Pipelines for Metagenomic Studies were provided to promote networking.
These particular conferences addressed the on-going issue of data management
that all laboratories face...
