Nexxis iLAB Database Viewer
Labtronics has released the Nexxis iLAB Database Viewer, a tool that integrates and simplifi es the reporting of data for all lab databases from one central location. After retrieving the data, users are able to fi lter and organise the information, which can then be exported to LimsLink, Nexxis ELN or Excel for further processing and reporting.
Olympus has released its Database Solution module for the cellSens Dimension software suite. The module will simplify user workfl ow management, making it easier to capture, process and securely store images along with a variety of searchable and customisable metadata. Each image can be kept within a highly-structured system
SigmaPlot 12
The latest version of Systat Software’s scientifi c data analysis and graphing software package has been released. SigmaPlot 12 provides researchers with an enriched user interface, increased ease of use and new features to analyse data and create exact, publication-quality graphs that deliver research results for presentation, publication or the web. Designed specifi cally for
professional researchers, this updated Genedata Screener 9
Genedata has introduced a new version of Genedata Screener, a comprehensive software system for high content data analysis. Screener version 9 features an enhanced user interface for simultaneous processing of multiple dose-response curve assays and high content image display across the entire screening cascade. These features

Felix Grant reviews OriginPro 8.5
With the latest incremental version update (8.1 to 8.5, now at service release 1), OriginLab’s increasingly versatile data graphics package sees useful improvements and new developments in a number of areas. Most of them are common to both Origin and OriginPro, though the 2D FFT Filter is restricted to the Pro version. Particularly beguiling is having live, editable equations in the same page as plots – Design Science’s MathType, and a couple of other third-party equation editors with equal simplicity; OpenOffi ce’s formula tool with a bit of fi ddling, but it can be done. A single button on the Tools toolbar can be clicked and held to open a choice of Equation, Word, Excel or generic Object pick list
insertion; when simply clicked once it defaults to the most recent selection.
Usability has always been
an important factor in graphics- oriented tools, particularly those in the exploratory mode on which OriginLab are increasingly focusing their attention. I’m glad to report that version 8.5 remains very pleasurably fl eet-footed, even on an Atom processor web book. Strong rumours suggest that a full 64-bit build is on the horizon but, in the meantime, the current 32-bit implementation also makes good use of a large-RAM, 64-bit Windows 7 environment.

hierarchy, allowing users to organise based on classifi cations such as experiment, project or job. Data search and retrieval functionality is enhanced by the inclusion of customisable metadata, while extensive search functions and pre- defi ned search templates add to the accuracy of the process.

One centralised application is used to see the entire lab’s data at once and, as the Database Viewer is web-based, it is available on any computer system that supports a browser. It also provides controlled access to users who only need to look at specifi c information so that, instead of training everyone on how to use the lab’s LIMS, access is based on individual or group needs.

SimLipid SimLipid from Premier Biosoft International analyses lipid mass spectrometric data for characterising lipids, and can annotate mass spectra with identifi ed lipid structures and abbreviations. The software profi les lipids by matching the experimental MS spectra with its own comprehensive, robust and annotated database, consisting of nine lipid classes and 1,948 lipid species.
It retrieves lipids that correspond with the observed m/z and user- specifi ed fi lter criteria. Alongside the probable lipid structure, important information such as the lipid ID, lipid abbreviation, systematic name, lipid category, lipid mass, chemical formula and other database links is also made available. Users can also look up the database using lipid abbreviation, mass, chemical composition or lipid ID.
