XOMA’s quality and operational infrastructure enables the manufacture of product candidates through every phase of product development in compliance with cGMP using mammalian and microbial systems. Ric Reordan, XOMA’s Manager of Microbiology, states that “Environmental and utility monitoring are a critical part of our QC program. As part of our manufacturing activities, we are required to provide a contaminant free environment for the production of a wide range of therapeutic products. With SQL*LIMS Micro/EM, we have transformed our environmental and utility monitoring program to a paperless operation. Improvements in productivity and compliance enable my team to focus on high value science-based activity rather than administrative paperwork. And ultimately this enhances XOMA’s manufacturing operations.” Applied Biosystems has partnered with MODA Technology Partners to expand the SQL*LIMS® product line with SQL*LIMS Micro/EM™, a revolutionary solution combining paperless, mobile data acquisition with unparalleled data visualization and analysis capabilities. Frank Bernard, XOMA’s Senior IT Manager explains, “The SQL*LIMS Micro/EM package enabled us to achieve certain efficiencies. We were able to go into production within four months versus an alternative of eighteen months for a solution requiring customization. Support and administration are greatly simplified with a single, unified platform for QA and QC users. And our user community loves the functionality and efficiencies gained in their processes.” Full Press release Mettler Toledo and ABI integrates Lab/X with SQL*LIMSFOSTER CITY, Calif. and GREIFENSEE, Switzerland – Applied Biosystems (NYSE:ABI)and METTLER TOLEDO (NYSE: MTD), announced an integrated solution that is expected to improve the workflow and the transfer of information in laboratories for many scientific disciplines, including the life science, chemistry, food and petrochemical industries. The companies have collaborated to create a unique solution through which they are providing researchers in these fields the means to exchange data between precision instruments and laboratory information management systems. Full Press release Analytical and precision balance as well as titration instruments are used for a variety of applications. In many laboratories, they are the basis of virtually all everyday processes. For the laboratory to meet Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) standards, these processes must be perfected and fully checked for accuracy before they can be used routinely. The combined SQL*LIMS® and LabX package provides a fully validated system that eliminates the need to check each process for accuracy. Product information SQL*LIMS P4 in actionSeptember 2007  New Laboratory Information Management Solution from Applied Biosystems Brings Efficiency and Cost Effectiveness to Drug Development and Manufacturing Process Pre-configured and validated solution reduces the cost and time associated with implementation A new laboratory information management system (LIMS) that is expected to help pharmaceutical companies maintain regulatory compliance and decrease the cost of managing their manufacturing operations. The SQL*LIMS® Plug and Play Pharma Package™ solution is a pre-configured and validated LIMS developed specifically for the pharmaceutical industry that has been shown to reduce up-to 85% of the cost and as much as 75% of the time associated with deployment. What customers say Analysis conducted by Applied Biosystems indicates that a typical LIMS implementation takes approximately eight months, with most of that time spent configuring and validating the system. Because SQL*LIMS Plug and Play Pharma Package is specifically designed and validated for the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry, Applied Biosystems’ customers have been able to implement the system in as little as two months. More in formation and brochure download SQL*LIMS® eNotebookJune 2007 Labtronics Inc., a world leader in laboratory data integration and management solutions is pleased to announce that Applied Biosystems, developers of the SQL*LIMS® P4™ Business Solution for Pharmaceutical QA/QC, will now be distributing Labtronics’ Nexxis qELN, Electronic Laboratory Notebook for QA/QC laboratories, as part of the long standing partnership agreement between these two organizations. Nexxis qELN introduces a new breed of informatics technology that utilizes a web-based client to make instrument data capture and procedural compliance easier for end users by integrating laboratory systems, with instruments, people and manual procedures, in real time. This partnership agreement will further extend the functionality and flexibility of SQL*LIMS by connecting directly with the analysts and all information and data sources in the lab, as analyses are being carried out. SQL*LIMS users will be able to use the Nexxis web client to select work lists from SQL*LIMS, review an SOP from a document management system, and then be guided through each step of the analysis in a completely controlled fashion. Control of work schedules and resources will be completely automatic so that the right decisions are always made. Potential errors are caught in real time before they happen, instead of days or weeks later. During a recent interview, Peter Boogaard, Director, Product Management and Marketing at Applied Biosystems commented, “This development is in line with Labtronics’ and Applied Biosystems’ on-going strategy to provide next-generation LIMS solutions for the laboratory industry." SQL*LIMS® Raises the Bar for LIMSJune 2007 SQL*LIMS Raises the Bar for LIMS  At Applied Biosystems, we know that successful LIMS solutions must integrate a heterogeneous mix of technologies and data systems and extend beyond the laboratory. That’s why with SQL*LIMS® we are raising the bar for LIMS to provide an end-to-end business solution for manufacturing QA/QC. Without the need for extensive customization or compromising end-user satisfaction, we have integrated lot/batch management, stability testing including stability analytics, environmental monitoring (EM), Quality Event management (CAPA, OOS, QEMS), and the electronic notebook into SQL*LIMS. As a single-source data repository, SQL*LIMS seamlessly incorporates these disparate pools of data that are typically manually processed or stored in separate systems across QA/QC functions. The SQL*LIMS suite is the only solution available today that integrates a full set of data required by the QA/QC organization. Full Scientific Computing article Good-bye to Excel due to integrated Stability AnalyticsIntegrated Analytics for SQL*Stability. “Goodbye to separate Excel and statistical export procedures”. Exclusively for SQL*Stability, Applied Biosystems and NWA introducing a module that puts advanced stability analytics at your fingertips. In addition to complete protocol management, data collection, and inventory tracking, this unique combination will provide the stability manager with a powerful, but user-friendly analytics capability, including regression analysis, calculation of expiry dates, and ANCOVA analysis for pooling multiple studies. Complete stability workflow from within one system speeds response time of stability results, streamlines validation issues, reduces errors, and decreases total IT costs. Multi-site operations will benefit from standardized SOP’s and a consistent workflow across multiple stability departments. A full complement of standard Stability Reports are also available through SQL*LIMS. The system fully supports compliance with all FDA and ICH requirements. Coastal Water ProjectTracking data for coastal water monitoring project management The mission of the Southwest Florida Water Management District Laboratory is to analyze water resources and ensure data availability for the purpose of maximizing public health, environmental, economic and recreational benefits. Towards that end the laboratory uses SQL*LIMS to provide data support in order to undertake projects such as the irrigation well back-plugging program. In coastal and southern regions of the District ground water quality in the highly productive, deep portion of the Floridian aquifer is generally marginal to poor. Investigations by District staff indicate that agricultural pumping in the highly productive zone of the Floridian aquifer can cause localized upward movement of poor-quality water into the production wells. To address the issue, a back-plugging program has been established. Back plugging to a recommended well depth will help sustain surface water resources and assist in maintaining ground-water resources for the agricultural community. The District laboratory uses SQL*LIMS Software to supply data to program scientists that allows them to ensure optimum conditions have been met for each well. SQL*LIMS® Forensic NavigatorApplied Biosystems has exteded SQL*LIMS Forensic Navigator—a LIMS system that provides comprehensive case management capabilities for forensic laboratories including the case dossiers, exhibits, scenes, and analytical results associated with each case. The system provides access security with audit trail capability, tracks where and when samples have been stored, as well as the results of investigations (including DNA genotyping, toxicology, ballistics, trace analysis, etc.). Forensic Navigator is another example of Applied Biosystems drive to develop of commercial off-the-self LIMS for specific industries based on its award winning SQL*LIMS Software. These commercial off-the-shelf SQL*LIMS provide convenience and industry-specific functionality that saves time and money. “Where we have integrated SQL*QA™ for the Lot & Batch manufacturing environment, and SQL*Stability™ for the stability and shelf life testing community, we now have Forensic Navigator for the forensic casework.” says David Hurt Applied Biosystems Forensic LIMS Product Manager. “We will be adding more functionality and ease of use features in the near future,” Hurt adds. Forensic Navigator was developed in collaboration with Broward County Sheriff’s Office Crime Lab, directed by George Duncan. New Stability Inventory for sample pool for stability testingNew Stability Inventory module, which adds the capability of managing the pool of samples for stability testing including logging and receiving samples tested for study, and tracking them through the stability testing life cycle. Improvements include: history reports, enhancements to the worklist functionality, enhancements that support lab workflows for 96-well plates, and a new sample logger that will support greater throughput for stability testing.
