Background For over 100 years, the conventional method used to assess the microbiological quality of drinking water has remained essentially unchanged: The heterotrophic plate count (HPC) is often used as a measure of general microbiological quality. However, despite its ubiquitous use, this method is non-specific and time consuming (>1 day). Flow Cytometry… Read More »
Runcorn, UK 16th August, 2016 CSols has been awarded a Smart Award by Innovate UK to develop game changing Instrument PC Essentials (IPCE) software for Analytical Instruments that will have real impact in a $100bn pa market. Background Analytical laboratories (Labs) test samples to determine what is in them. A wide range of sophisticated Intelligent… Read More »

COD with Merck SpectroQuant® Pharo 100 and 300 UV/VIS spectrophotometers The Merck SpectroQuant® Pharo 100 and 300 spectrophotometers can measure Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), a commonly analysed parameter in the water and environmental laboratories. COD is important as an indirect indication of the amount of organic pollution in water and is a useful measure of water quality.… Read More »
It’s a common enough occurrence in routine analysis, a sample is too concentrated so the measured result(s) are outside of the instrument method’s dynamic range. So you dilute the sample, but how much by? 5x 10x 20x? You are sure that the dilution would normally be 5x but you don’t want the result to pass… Read More »
We have successfully made a link to the Hach Lange DR390x spectrometer, often used by laboratories for COD analysis. Links for LIMS can pick up the results from the instrument in manual mode and automatically matches them with samples in a LIMS worklist to eliminate transcription. Instrument results can then be reviewed and included in… Read More »
QC updates have been now added to the Links for LIMS driver for connecting to the Roche PSM middleware system. This extends the usefulness of the link in biochemistry laboratories and allowing LC-MS/MS, GC-MS and ICP-MS instruments to pass QC results to PSM. This allows PSM to consolidate QC results from all laboratory instruments allowing… Read More »
Available now – a new bidirectional serial driver for the Thermo Scientific Gallery discrete analyser. This Links for LIMS driver gives a new level of access to the instrument providing improved hands free automation. Other work with Thermo Scientific instruments has also seen successful connections to the new Aquakem 600 discrete analyser. If you think… Read More »
Even if they have a LIMS system more and more of our customers want to perform calculations in Links for LIMS to help validate their results before they finally commit, what could be hundreds or thousands of results, to their LIMS database. Traditionally this has included automatically factoring the result with dilution factors or weights… Read More »
