THERMO Fisher Scientific has released tis latest generation of Watson LIMS (Laboratory Information Management System) 7.4 which has been developed for use in drug metabolism and pharmacokinetic (DMPK) studies for drug discovery and development.
Thermo Fisher says the Watson 7.4 simplifies daily workflow for bioanalytical laboratories by delivering enhanced functionality for incurred sample reanalysis (ISR).
The Watson LIMS has been designed to allow researchers to perform incurred sample reanalysis on an individual sample basis, and eliminates the previously required mandatory repeat runs for bioanalytical samples.
Thermo Fisher claims Watson's new ISR reporting features provide new comparison methods with built-in calculations and greater ease of use by enabling flexible, pre-configured reporting of ISR results using templates.
The version 7.4 includes a built-in data interchange with TSQ Series mass spectrometers, allowing for direct data acquisition, peak integration and re-integration, storage, archiving and reporting of raw data, all under the control of Watson's centralized Oracle database repository.
Watson's connectivity to Thermo Scientific TSQ Series mass spectrometers eliminates manual verification of LC/MS data transfers, and provides a single audit trail for QA and the FDA, providing greater workflow efficiencies, time and cost savings.
