Data Acquisition, Reporting Software

New data acquisition and reporting tool from Beckman Coulter, Inc. collects and stores every piece of information available from every device on the deck or integrated in the automated system on the company’s Biomek workstation. The software runs in the background, automatically collecting and storing all run, labware and well information from every piece of equipment on the deck. Easy setup steps in the Biomek software bridge labware data between runs, and information is tracked as a plate goes from method to method. The data is stored in a database and can be easily imported for subsequent methods. Because every piece of available information is stored, researchers can quickly and easily access data repository information when they create or change any report format. A comprehensive, easy-to-use Report Builder function provides access to all data in either Microsoft Excel or via database views that are accessible to LIMS.
