SciCord 1.5 released

SciCord is proud to announce a new release of its Cloud-based Laboratory Document Management tool, which comprises both ELN and LIMS functionality. With the SciCord R1.5 (Helium) update, we’ve taken steps to improve the functionality, compliance, and ease-of-use of the product. This release represents our continued commitment to improve the experiences of those who use SciCord technologies.

Highlights:

Upgraded our Smart Client to WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation)

• Increased application stability and performance; e.g the smart client application can now allocate more memory to better handle intensive tasks.
• Expanded library catalog – e.g. ability to introduce drawing of chemical structures
• Easier installation for user

Results Specification

• The introduction of Specifications, which may be versioned, enables sets of rules to be created, and applied to samples for efficient review of sample results.
• Specification View allows quick creation, editing, and assigning of sample(s).
• Specifications may be applied to Samples directly from the Samples View

Data Files Management

• Support for updated SciPrinter (R1.5)
  • SciPrinter is a tool that provides Total Control of Validated Data. The tool is implemented as a printer driver, collecting data from instruments directly to SciCord ELN. Direct capture assures compliance avoiding local storage and potential for tampering.

SciChrom Viewer

• Functionality updated to improve user experience: warning messages are displayed in a dedicated column in the injections table; warning displayed when Chromatogram is not available for a certain injection/channel; and improved capability with 3D spectra injections.
• Improved zoom functionality within SciChrom Viewer

Inventory Requests

• Inventory Requests Schedule is visible through a Calendar View
• Inventory Requests may include a ‘time-window’ instead of a specified date

General Improvements

• Resource sub-categories: list and filter resources by sub-category, in addition to the current category field. Provides user with greater granularity when characterizing resources.
• Inventory Request Navigation View: view requests, open the sample inventory, open for edit or read-only sample, print labels, open the Inventory Schedule directly from the view.
• Sample Inventory Transfers for non-compatible units: allows for manual conversion rates when transferring non-compatible units between samples
• Improved WordMerge-based reporting tool to included enhanced functionality and greater customization, such as the support for nested tables.

As is the case for all GA releases, R1.5 has a complete supporting documentation package and is suitable for GxP environments.

R1.5 (Helium) is backward compatible with all previous 1.x releases.
