PerkinElmer, Inc. today announced collaboration with Labtronics Inc., to offer laboratories more choice for connecting laboratory instruments with LABWORKS™ Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS).  The collaboration allows laboratories to rapidly customize solutions for their unique needs.  Labtronics provides a flexible toolkit approach enabling users to adapt their interfaces to meet changing requirements in-house, thereby reducing the need for outside assistance. This increases laboratory workflow and analyst skill level, helping to increase productivity and reduce errors in data transfer.

"Increasingly, laboratories are recognizing the importance of effective interfacing when generating and managing large amounts of data such as that created by our Inorganic and Chromatography products," said Richard Begley, Ph.D., president, Analytical Sciences, PerkinElmer. "This collaboration helps customers achieve optimal workflow, while enabling them to eliminate manual data entry."

Labtronics' LimsLink and LimsLink Express will expand the instrument interface solutions for PerkinElmer's LABWORKS LIMS.  Both solutions will help laboratories to reduce analysts' workload, reduce the cost of sample data management and deliver sample results to LABWORKS faster. For instance, a petrochemical company introduced LimsLink for all of their instruments and is handling a 150% increase in sample throughput without increasing staff. Another state environmental agency saw a $600,000 annual saving by automating data entry for 800,000 samples.
