The strategic importance of Analytical Workflow Manager Software is summed up by the manager of a mass spectrometry laboratory for a global healthcare leader in the area of pharmaceuticals and diagnostics.
He states, "Waters Analytical Workflow Manager Software is one of my corporation's ten most business-critical applications".
"It has enhanced collaboration and information-exchange among our laboratories and broadened communications to our customer base." With today's enhancements, scientists are now able to configure workflow processes such that analysis requests are prioritized and transferred to instrument work lists which already include sample and method-specific parameters that are used to process the sample and generate results.
Enhanced configuration capabilities allow for the creation and export of sample lists to a wide range of instruments including Acquity UPLC, HPLC, LC/MS, NMR and many others.
Electronically review and approve measurement requests and analytical results either on an ad-hoc basis or automatically, based on pre-configured procedures.
These features allow analytical labs to better service their customers by providing on-demand status checking and faster analysis cycle times.
Provide for integration of streamlined processes into other systems such as the Waters eLab Notebook Software, resulting in an optimized digital environment for both document control and management of the sample analysis workflow including analytical methods.
According to Thomas Schmidt, product manager at Waters Corporation, "With the Analytical Workflow Manager Software, scientists can move from delocalized, chemical analysis processes to a cohesive on-line workflow".
"Each lab can access and display the other's results to support data evaluation".
"Some labs have reported more than a 25% increase in throughput as a result of processes optimized through the use of the Analytical Workflow Manager Software.".
