Product news

Thermo Electron Corporation, the leading provider of analytical instruments and informatics worldwide, demonstrated enhancements made to Atlas CDS™, winner of a 2005 Product of the Year Award for chromatography data systems.

Following a major stability release with version 8.0 in June 2005, Atlas 8.1 includes major improvements to the instrument control architecture to enhance network resilience. A key focus of the release was to ensure secure, robust communication between the instrument and Atlas software. Atlas now has the ability to import Beckman PeakPro™ and ThruPut Target™ data files natively. Enhancements have also been made to the instrument control and spectral functionality in the system.

Atlas is built for enterprise applications, providing a single solution that not only integrates data streams from multiple instruments manufactured by multiple vendors, but also tightly integrates with LIMS that typically store summary results for each analysis. Tight integration between the LIMS and CDS enables users to access critical data when faced with a decision where the QA/QC source data is needed immediately. The robust enhancements and interoperability with Thermo’s LIMS are designed for consistent reporting and shared data that increases productivity.

Atlas joins purpose-built LIMS solutions in Thermo’s market-leading informatics portfolio.

Thermo is best known for its enterprise LIMS solution, SampleManager™, a leading solution for industrial process labs, and Watson LIMS™, the solution most used in bioanalytical laboratories. Thermo addresses the pharmaceutical market, in particular, with a suite of solutions, including Darwin LIMS™ for pharmaceutical manufacturing R&D and quality control; Watson; Galileo LIMS™ for high throughput in vitro ADME/Tox research; Nautilus LIMS™ for research organizations, particularly in biotech; and the Enterprise Pharmacology Series and Kinetica PKPD database solutions. Thermo also provides the award-winning GRAMS desktop spectroscopy software.

UHPLC and HPLCHigh performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and ultra high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC), also known as UPLC, are analytical techniques used to separate, identify and quantitate components of complex mixtures including biological samples such as proteins and lipids as well as chemical mixtures of pesticides, drugs and oils. Both techniques are liquid chromatographic methods but differ by operating pressures (HPLC < 6000 psi < UHPLC ). Components of HPLC and UHPLC systems include columns, detectors, pumps, autosamplers and column heaters. Explore a range of UHPLC and HPLC columns for your specific sample needs including reverse phase, normal phase, ion exchange, HILIC, ion exclusion and size exclusion columns. For more specialized HPLC, explore FPLC, countercurrent LC and simulated moving bed systems. Find the best UHPLC and HPLC equipment in our peer reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Data AnalysisData analysis hardware and software is available to make data processing straight-forward yet powerful. Data software can be used for math and stats, technical graphing and image analysis. In addition, software is available for specific data analysis of electrophoresis, densitometry, ELISA and DNA sequencing.Data MiningData mining is an important process for extracting information, patterns and trends from data. Data mining software, databases, reference materials and storage packages are available to process lab data.
