OverviewLabSolutions CS is a client‑server laboratory data management software that centralizes instrument control and analytical data across networked laboratories. It integrates LC, GC, LC‑MS, GC‑MS and many other analytical techniques on a single platform, enabling unified monitoring, control and secure data management that supports regulatory requirements such as FDA 21 CFR Part 11, GLP and GMP.
Key Features- Concurrent control and monitoring of diverse analytical instruments from one platform
- Centralized, secure data storage and access across networked PCs
- Remote accessibility and support for thin clients (Windows Terminal Services, Citrix)
- Server‑based network management for improved operational efficiency
- Unified audit trail and features to support data integrity and compliance
Features- Convenient operating environment: consistent user interface across instruments reduces training time and allows integrated management of instruments and data.
- Flexible deployment: supports standalone workstations, networked systems and cloud/IaaS deployments (e.g., Amazon EC2); can link to host systems and directly control some non‑Shimadzu LC/GC systems.
- Secure system and data management: centralized database prevents data loss and manipulation, protects user and system information, and facilitates regulatory compliance.
- Optimized analytical workflows: functions for data acquisition, postrun analysis, data processing and report generation to streamline laboratory operations.
NotesFootnotes: *1 Acquisition control PC can control instruments, send instructions and perform postrun analysis like a client PC. *2 With terminal services, LabSolutions client installation may not be required on every client PC. *3 iPad access requires Citrix Virtual Apps. *4 LabSolutions can operate on Amazon EC2 (cloud/IaaS).
Technical specifications- Supported techniques/instruments: LC, GC, LC‑MS, GC‑MS, particle size, ICP‑MS, UV‑Vis, fluorescence, FTIR, TOC, thermal analysis, protein sequencing, material testing
- Architecture: client‑server (LabSolutions CS) with support for Windows Terminal Services and cloud/IaaS deployment
- Compliance & data integrity: supports FDA 21 CFR Part 11, GLP principles and GMP guidelines; unified audit trail
- Functionality: central database for analytical data, concurrent instrument control, monitoring, data acquisition, postrun analysis, data processing and reporting
- Scalability & compatibility: suitable from single‑instrument setups to large multi‑instrument, multi‑user networks; can control certain non‑Shimadzu LC/GC systems
