Agilent Technologies introduced OpenLAB Data Store with Lab Applications, an out-of-the-box solution for smaller laboratories that provides secure central storage of the data produced by the company's OpenLAB chromatography data systems. The software is also designed to streamline the management of laboratory operations, assets and regulatory compliance. OpenLAB Data Store with Lab Applications is focused on the essential tasks that make it easy for smaller laboratories to install and do their work. Like their larger counterparts, smaller laboratories face demanding information-management challenges driven by the complexity of managing and securing the huge amounts of data produced by their chromatography systems. At the same time, they are challenged to achieve increasingly higher levels of productivity in managing laboratory workflows, assets and regulatory requirements. However, unlike large laboratories, smaller chromatography laboratories cannot afford the overhead associated with multiple enterprise-level solutions.

For lab managers who oversee up to 15 Agilent chromatography and Agilent single quadrupole LC/MS systems, OpenLAB Data Store with Lab Applications offers the following benefits:

• Centralized, chromatography and LC/MSD data storage and retrieval

• Automated workload scheduling and workflow management

• Laboratory event and asset tracking

• Comprehensive data security, audit trails and e-signature authorization

• Simplified U.S. FDA 21 CFR Part 11 and EU Annex 11 compliance
