New heart analysis software introduced by Altcom
A bespoke software package designed to monitor the outcomes of heart treatments in patients across Europe and Russia has been launched by UK software developers, Altcom. The launch was held in St. Petersburg at a conference attended by leading cardiologists collaborating in an international epidemiological study into factors affecting and leading to heart failure. The project, known as SICA- HF (Studies Investigating Co- morbidities Aggravating Heart Failure), is being run across several medical centres in the European Union and Russian Federation, and is co-ordinated
by the Hull York Medical School at the University of Hull.
The new software system has been developed using Open
Labtronics partners with BioGenex
Laboratory automation specialist Labtronics has signed a partnership agreement with BioGenex Laboratories to interface their i6000 and Xmatrx automated staining systems to LIMS and LIS systems. BioGenex Laboratories develops sophisticated staining systems for clinical diagnostics and research laboratories. In recent years the company has seen an increase in customer demand for advanced integration between its instruments and LIMS and LIS systems. BioGenex has partnered with Labtronics to provide LimsLink as the standard interfacing solution, thereby providing an improved product offering to its customers. Labtronics states that its
6
LimsLink interface has been a standard in the industry for many years, with a proven track record for providing advanced interfaces between any instrument and any LIMS or LIS system. This latest version provides standard methods that simplify the implementation of the connection. It also provides back-end database support that will provide customers with instrument analytics. BioGenex customers have a need to store reports from the instrument, and, according to Labtronics, most LIMS or LIS do not support this functionality. Since LimsLink includes Nexxis SDMS, a scientific data management system, BioGenex is now able to solve this problem for its customers.

Source technologies and, being a web-based application, a modern web browser and Internet connection are all that is required to use it. The
data collected through the project is stored centrally on a secure server in the UK and the database will eventually contain details of around 2,000 patients studied over the length of the project. Various safeguards have been put in place to ensure the integrity and security of the database, and all data held centrally is made anonymous to ensure patient confidentiality and to comply with data protection legislation. The software is now being used by all of the partner organisations in the project and the collection of patient data has begun.
ChemSW partnership adds
materials safety data to CISPro ChemSW, a provider of chemical inventory management systems, and 3E Company, a supplier of chemical, regulatory and compliance information services, have announced a joint technology agreement and the release of 3E MSDS management software (materials safety data sheet) for ChemSW’s CISPro chemical inventory management system. Under the terms of the
agreement, ChemSW and 3E Company have jointly developed technology to be used with 3E’s MSDS solutions and ChemSW’s CISPro. The new integrated solution enables CISPro users to automatically retrieve desired
MSDSs from 3E’s range of MSDS solutions that provide any-time access to a database of millions of MSDSs such that only the most relevant data sheet is referenced. Storing, updating and retrieving MSDS documents can be difficult and expensive. By fully synchronising the CISPro chemical inventory system with the integrated MSDS module, users have instant access to up-to-date MSDS, whether from the lab or from the production floor, providing companies with an efficient and affordable method for complying with environmental, health and safety, hazard communication and workplace safety regulatory requirements.
