Agilent Technologies’ Enterprise Content
Management System Now Supports Dionex Chromeleon Chromatography Software
SANTA CLARA, Calif., May 28, 2009 – Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE:
A) today announced that its OpenLAB Enterprise Content Management (ECM) system
now supports the archiving of data generated by Dionex Corp.’s Chromeleon 6.8
chromatography software. This demonstrates Agilent’s continued commitment to
open systems, resulting in broader customer choice.
“Chromatography software such as Chromeleon stores data in databases rather than
flat files, and this presents challenges for centralized archives,” said Linda
Doherty, Agilent marketing manager, Software and Laboratory Informatics. “These
databases must be compressed to be easily stored, but in that format they cannot
be viewed, indexed or searched. We’ve solved this problem by developing an
interface between Chromeleon and OpenLAB ECM.”
“Chromeleon’s rich user interface offers the best way to look at data previously
generated by standalone Chromeleon,” said Andreas Brunner, Dionex product
manager, chromatography software. “However, some users prefer to have a central
repository for all their data generated in the laboratory and one common user
interface to look at all data created by different software packages. The new
interface allows storing and reviewing the main aspects of the chromatographic
data in OpenLAB ECM in a way that’s consistent with other data.”
OpenLAB ECM is a central repository that now allows customers to query archived
Chromeleon data with user-defined criteria that include locked and/or signed
sequences or sequences older than a specified time period. When stored in
OpenLAB ECM, the data can be indexed, searched and reviewed without a complex
restore procedure. This saves customers a great deal of time, increases the
useful life of the data and reduces implementation and training costs.
OpenLAB ECM features a familiar, Web-based user interface, and customers can
schedule automatic data transfers from Chromeleon to OpenLAB ECM. Customers can
define which data is uploaded based on a set of criteria, and data can upload
either immediately upon creation, after a specified time interval or each time
it is modified.
Agilent OpenLAB ECM is a secure, central data repository enabling customers to
easily create, manage, collaborate, archive and re-use a wide variety of
business-critical information. This includes raw data and documents of any data
in any form, including data from analytical instruments and measurement devices.
Modular architecture enables OpenLAB ECM to grow as labs’ needs change.
