LabLogic’s PETra is a PET laboratory information management system designed specifically to help PET production facilities improve workflow efficiency, regulatory compliance, and offers a suitable solution to standardise production across multiple sites. PETra communicates directly with all equipment during the production process, reducing transcription errors and storing vital information from cyclotron, radiochromatography data systems, and synthesis units


LabWare LIMS, used in 100 countries worldwide, forms part of the LabWare Enterprise Laboratory Platform. It is supplied with an extensive range of application modules and integrated instrument data acquisition. The software is highly


scalable: cost-effective for smaller laboratories, and proven in organisations that wish to deploy to multiple laboratories on an enterprise scale. It can be


in one secure place to produce a consolidated batch report. PETra’s workflow modules include dispensing requirements, pre- production checks, production, quality control, product release and batch reports. PETra also has modules for regulatory compliance, quality management, barcode- driven inventory and instrument management. Together with a range of specialist radio-TLC and HPLC instruments such as the Scan-RAM and Flow-RAM, LabLogic is able to provide the complete solution for PET radiopharmaceutical production and provide the expertise and experience to implement quickly and efficiently. www.lablogic.com


Siemens introduces its next- generation LIMS, with the launch of Simatic IT Unilab 7, Siemens’ answer to market trends and customer demands. The use of state-of-the-art technology fulfils the new version’s dual aim: maximum future-proofness and user- friendliness. Version 7.0 continues to offer the exhaustive LIMS functionality that has proven its value with our customers in various industries and types of labs. But features from the previous software version were transformed for the next-generation LIMS to enable labs to use the most modern technology, to optimise usability and user- friendliness, to reduce complexity, and to simplify rollout and the ensuing investments (in both time and money). Additionally, new features are now included without which a modern and connected lab cannot operate. www.siemens.com/lims


deployed via a zero footprint, browser-independent, web interface, Windows, and mobile devices. With extensive ‘out-of-the-box’


functionality, it has a library of pre-configured industry templates to fast-track installations in the pharmaceutical, contract analysis, forensic, petrochemical, bioanalysis, and other industries. LabWare ELN is an experiment


and/or procedure-driven ELN application designed to allow

scientists to capture and store both structured and unstructured data. The user interface is entirely flexible and can be tailored by creating experiment templates. www.labware.com


PerkinElmer’s Elements is a cloud-based Electronic Lab Notebook that eliminates the need for investment in on- premise, infrastructure. It has purpose-built scientific apps for quick and easy customisation. It embeds the chemical drawing tool ChemDraw directly in the browser. Transcending static paper notebooks, Elements enables searching, auditing data and organisation-wide use of the knowledge created by others. SciStream enables import,


aggregation, and arrangement of raw instrument data and metadata files into Tibco Spotfire, including files from plate readers, high content


QESTLab is Spectra QEST’s LIMS, specifically designed for the construction materials testing (CMT) industry. It is designed to improve efficiency and introduce best practice in all areas of the laboratory. The system can support


centralised implementations and is a functionally broad system after more than a decade of continuous improvement and adaptation in a variety of markets. QESTLab’s reach can be extended


to the field with the adoption of the QESTField system which is designed to run on portable, hand- held devices. Furthermore, the QESTLab


system integrates well with Construction Hive, which is a web system for the management of CMT results. www.spectraqest.com


screening readers, and flow cytometers (*.fcs files) along with their corresponding metadata. It is instrument and vendor agnostic. The High Content Profiler,


for analysis of high-content screening data, offers easily accessible, advanced, multivariate statistical tools for true phenotypic analyses. www.cambridgesoft.com


Thermo Scientific’s new Lab Execution System (LES) gives lab managers complete control of their methods and SOPs in a paperless lab. When combined with SampleManager, the LES achieves full instrument integration, manages methods and workflow, retrieves and archives any kind of raw scientific data and exports those results across the organisation in the format that is required by the recipient. SampleManager 11 puts decision-


making power in the hands of users who can make logical choices about workflow, instrument integration and data reporting. Data Manager can securely store


and rapidly retrieve scientific data from multiple instrument formats. Through a library of more than 150 file converters that automatically generate XML versions of the data, archived information can be viewed on any platform without using the original instrument software. It integrates with existing informatics investments such as LIMS, CDS, ELN, as well as enterprise systems such as ERP. www.thermoscientific.com/en/ products/informatics-software.html
