Product news

Shimadzu Scientific Instruments announces the release of a new version of its LabSolutions DB/CS analysis data system.

Featuring enhanced regulatory compatibility, the system comes with a new report preparation and digital checking function that integrates analytical results and analytical operations using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and gas chromatography (GC) instruments.

LabSolutions Ver. 6.50 ensures reliability and improves analysis confirmation processes. It accomplishes this by integrating the test methods and results for a series of samples, together with the entire operational history of sample analysis from commencement to completion, into a single report. This makes the confirmation of test results and analysis operations easier to perform.

The new software version also provides automated protection against the manipulation of test results. It achieves this by converting test results into a non-editable state. This prevents manipulation by the falsification or replacement of test results. The test results data present in these visualized reports are also searchable and can easily be confirmed.

In addition to improved security and reliability, LabSolutions DB/CS Ver. 6.50 offers improved operational efficiency by digitalizing the process of test result report confirmation. With this feature, the system displays evidence of report confirmation or check marks anywhere on test result reports created as PDFs. Unconfirmed items in reports can be prevented by the use of error notifications when an item has not been confirmed. These functions simplify the on-screen confirmation process, which, in turn, improves operational efficiency and allows a paperless process.
