Nautilus™ 2002 Release 2 - Thermo LabSystems introduces latest LIMS version
The new version offers a number of major advances that deliver increased flexibility in the processing of microtiter plates, and enhancements to Nautilus' XML (eXtensible Markup Language) capabilities to offer powerful integration advantages. Also, Nautilus' new Result Browser provides users with a visualization tool for the presentation of plate and aliquot results, and enables the dynamic querying of results and subsequent review in either tabular or graphical format, within a highly user-friendly interface.
Among new plate-handling functionality is a series of features to support the processing of results and tests at the plate level, which is of particular benefit in laboratories involved in high throughput screening and experimentation. Of particular interest is a new Plate Editor, which allows the user to modify the content of the plate in a graphical way and, for example, empty wells, fill wells with existing or new aliquots, and move between different plate positions.
Peter Yendle, R&D director at Thermo LabSystems, commented on the release: "This is a significant version and not only for the functionality it delivers. Its release, ahead of schedule and fulfilling all agreed requirements, is a real endorsement of our decision to appoint a Biotechnology Special Interest Group. This multinational group includes selected Thermo personnel from sales, support services and development that were tasked with collectively determining and prioritizing functionality and providing field testing."
Nautilus is Thermo LabSystems' latest LIMS product, focused on improving laboratory productivity and reducing the total cost of ownership. With radically reduced implementation times and patent-pending Workflow technology eliminating the need for customization, Nautilus is proven to deliver a return on investment to customers in industries such as biotechnology, pharmaceutical R&D, food and beverage and environmental services.
