VWorksTM is a complete software solution providing complete device connectivity in the laboratory. Refined by scientists and laboratory technicians, VWorks offers a robust and flexible platform for laboratory automation control. Capable of controlling both standalone instruments and room size integrated systems, it enables scientists to use one software interface for all automation applications. An intuitive protocol editor combined with powerful device interfaces allows even novice users to quickly design protocols; while a background JavaScript engine and the IWorks development interface provide the total flexibility needed by expert users and system developers. At its core, VWorks is built upon a proven event-driven scheduler and innovative error-handler, allowing scientists to focus on the assay rather than the automation. VWorks now offers 21CFR Part 11 compliance support, making it the optimal solution for applications requiring certain FDA guidelines.
