The Drive for Automation
In the dynamic landscape of modern laboratories, a transformative era is upon us. The laboratory of the future stands as a testament to connectivity and automation, guided by the insightful prowess of artificial intelligence. Welcome to Laboratory 4.0, where the convergence of autonomous robotic systems, digital transformation, and agile workflows are re-defining the boundaries of possibility.
Central to this shift are the challenges of unifying diverse software platforms, spanning variety of manufacturers or disciplines, and effectively harnessing and managing vast data sources. Shimadzu are leading the development of cross-vendor communication, bolstered by simple, yet incredibly powerful input platform, empowering modern laboratories to seamlessly integrate analytical instrumentation into their autonomous workflows.
The significance of analytical instrumentation in sample analysis is pivotal. Shimadzu's cutting-edge analytical equipment generates invaluable data that fuels the core of the machine learning matrix, catalysing the evolution of chemical design, streamlining synthetic pathways, and accelerating the discovery of groundbreaking therapeutics.
The Nexera-FV analytical UHPLC system allows for seamless connection of up to 12 multi- vendor instruments and conducting independent analysis via the LabSolutions Sync software platform. The generated data enrich machine learning environment to drive new instructions and evolve the development of optimised synthetic routes or production of novel therapeutics.
Shimadzu is committed to reshaping the future of laboratories. The Laboratory 4.0 revolution is here, and the potential for advancement and discovery has never been more promising.
LabSolutions Sync
Synchronizes Third-Party Software for Pretreatment Units with Shimadzu LC and LC-MS.
Labour-saving and automation initiatives in laboratories continue to advance each year. To reduce costs even further, it is important not just to reduce instrument analysis times and pretreatment times individually, but to automate the workflow in its entirety. LabSolutions Sync synchronizes third-party software for pretreatment units with LabSolutions Realtime Batch and status information, enabling automation of systems, including pretreatment units. As a result, the entire laboratory workflow can be automated, leading to overall labour savings and cost reductions.
Three Features of LabSolutions Sync
Labour-saving and automation initiatives in laboratories continue to advance each year. To reduce costs even further, it is important not just to reduce instrument analysis times and pretreatment times individually, but to automate the workflow in its entirety. LabSolutions Sync synchronizes third-party software for pretreatment units with LabSolutions Realtime Batch and status information, enabling automation of systems, including pretreatment units. As a result, the entire laboratory workflow can be automated, leading to overall labour savings and cost reductions.
Automatic Implementation of Realtime Batch
This program synchronizes with batch files output by third-party software for pretreatment units, and implements LabSolutions batch analyses automatically. After a batch analysis is complete, the implementation results are output by LabSolutions. The third-party software can detect this and proceed to the next operation. In this way, the program enables automation by synchronizing the pretreatment unit with the Shimadzu LC or LC-MS.
- Automatic Shutdown
If an analysis is not performed within a certain amount of time, the program automatically shuts down the Shimadzu LC or LC-MS, preventing the instruments from running continuously.
- Synchronizes with Instrument Status
Status and instrument parameter information in LabSolutions is also synchronized with pretreatment units. This enables detailed system synchronization.
