Data Integration

Optimizing your current investments in assets and planning for the future can be challenging without the right information. With integration solutions, instrument utilization information is automatically captured from both PC based and non-PC based instruments, regardless of manufacturer. Seamlessly integrating this information with service history enables more informed decisions relating to your capital equipment planning process and operating expenses.
Challenge:
Perhaps the best motivation to interface your instruments to your LIMS is the expansion in lab profitability and researcher viability. Eliminating the manual entering of data and saves a huge load of time and exertion. Another vital motivation to interface your instruments to LIMS is the increment in information quality and uprightness that it yields. By eliminating the "human component" from the information move and passage condition, an immense wellspring of mistake is taken out.
Unfortunately, Instruments vary in the ways in which instrument data is obtained. Therefore the optimal instrument interface is dependent on your compliance requirements, the instrument, the integration outcomes, and the amount of effort to expend. Interface selection criteria depend on security, integration, setup and extraction of data. The aim of the protocol is to maintain the connection and the integration between lap instruments and Silver-LIMS solution, and it is offering two ways of implementation according to the customer requirements
Solution:
- Real-time instrument interface: Another way to connect instrumentation to a SilverLIMS is through a direct connection to the device itself. Real-time interfaces are typically established using a serial (RS-232) or network connection to a Silver-LIMS solution. Real-time interface provides immediate data capture from the instrument directly to the Silver-LIMS solution. The authenticity of the data is implicit as there are no steps between the instrument and the application. Once the instruments are interfaced appropriately, there is rarely a problem, but getting them set up is a little more difficult than the previous strategies mentioned. It is important to note that the setup of a “real-time” connection varies between instruments and can depend on the vendor and model. Some instruments may have only a serial connection, whereas others have network connections available.

- File Share: Direct printer capture uses a custom printer driver to capture the instrument report output and then stores the resulting electronic file in a secure space. A network file share, such as local file server or shared network drive, is easy to set up and use and can handle all file formats, including Word and Excel. File shares allow files to be easily shared among groups of people. Accessibility is both a positive and a negative characteristic. It is essential to employ a robust access control list on a file share that allows users to write files but restricts modification or deletion. Backup and archival processes must be well defined and adhered to.

Sientific data management system (SDMS):

The large volume of data generated by commercial and research laboratories, along with requirements mandated by regulatory agencies, have forced companies to use laboratory information management systems (LIMS) to improve efficiencies in tracking, managing samples, and precisely reporting test results. However, most general purpose LIMS do not provide an interface to automatically collect data from analytical instruments to store in a database. A scientific data management system (SDMS) provides a “Print-to-Database” technology, which facilitates the entry of reports generated by instruments directly into the SDMS database as Windows enhanced metafiles thus to minimize data entry errors. Unfortunately, SDMS does not allow performing further analysis. Many LIMS vendors provide plug-ins for single instrument but none of them provides a general purpose interface to extract the data from SDMS and store in LIMS.  .

Instrument Interfacing

The relevant legislation addressing aspects of computer systems validation in the United States comes from the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), most specifically 21 CFR Part 11 (Part 11), dealing with electronic records and signatures. Similar government agencies and regulations apply in other countries as well.
Part 11 mandates the requirements for electronic records and signatures to be considered accurate, reliable, readily retrievable, and secure, to replace paper records and handwritten signatures legally. Validating your computer system is the primary means of determining that electronic records and signatures can be used in this way.

File Attachment:

Some very simple electronic systems, e.g. balances, pH meters or simple processing equipment which do not store data, generate directly-printed paper records. These types of systems and records provide limited opportunity to influence the presentation of data by (re-)processing, changing of electronic date/time stamps. In these circumstances, the original record should be signed and dated by the person generating the record and information to ensure traceability, such as sample ID, batch number, etc. should be recorded on the record. These original records should 634 be attached to batch processing or testing records. 
Attachment of an evidential documents is a vital requirement of regulatory to ensure data integrity, CORPEX platform support all evidential documents like analysis requests, instrument printout, images, etc.

Integration with other Firmwares:

In today’s digital age, organizations rely on specific software applications to manage their processes. Customer-facing departments, such as sales, marketing, and customer support, use a customer relationship management (CRM) application like Salesforce or Microsoft Dynamics. The “back office,” comprised of finance, HR, and manufacturing, uses enterprise resource planning (ERP) software such as SAP or Oracle.
Likewise, research and development (R&D) departments (LIMS software) also have a specific software application they use to manage the research, development, and testing of products produced by the organization. This software is called a Laboratory Information Management System, or LIMS. Laboratory Information Management Systems are widely used throughout organizations that specialize in R&D, such as universities, contract research organizations (CRO’s), biobanks, and clinical research facilities.
