Electronic Laboratory Notebook (ELN)

The AgiLab platform offers a laboratory notebook with flexible experiment definition using our fully compliant, integrated office suite. It includes spreadsheets, documents and presentation reports enabling scientists to:

• Create calculations on the fly or based on templates
• Capture information with images
• Add charts and graphs
• Embedded curve fitting and statistics
• Include attachments
• Manage chemical and biological structures
• Perform plate-based testing
• Manage sequence information

The AgiLab platform also offers a flexible user interface to centralize structured and unstructured data in one place. This means laboratories can:

• Leverage a central data repository
• Remove reliance on paper and dispersed Microsoft Office files
• Enable more efficient workflow execution and reporting for better data analysis
• Remove local silos and paper notebooks
• Define flexible, ad hoc or exploratory experiments
• Execute method and process development activities

A regulated environment needs robust equipment management. Every piece of equipment that requires calibration based on the manufacturers schedule or the internal Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) of the laboratory should be calibrated at regular intervals. It is essential that the calibration results are recorded, along with calibration status, dates and availability of that instrument for use in the laboratories.

The AgiLab platform allows laboratories to:

• Maintain multiple schedules for each instrument (daily, weekly, monthly, etc.)
• Manage preventive maintenance, calibration and qualification schedules
• Log un-planned maintenance
• Control the availability of instruments for test usage
• Record instrument usage logs for every sample or test
• Print instrument labels or integrates with third party labelling software

The AgiLab platform manages and facilitates work order between departments. Formulators, scientists and collaborators can manage the submission, receiving, tracking and reporting of results originating from lab work requests and test orders through an intuitive interface.

Direct collaboration between the requestor and the executor of the work: the analytical testing features include the ability to request one or more tests to be performed on one or more samples.

It allows laboratories to:

• Enter requests with key information through intuitive “wizards” and business rules
• Apply higher priority to specified samples and tests
• View the status and progress of requests

The AgiLab platform leverages Oracle technology to provide enterprise-ready, secure means for bi-directional interfaces such as web services, file exchange, database links and more.

Typical integrations with external systems including, but not limited to:

• Enterprise Resource Planning systems (ERP)
• Chromatography Data Systems (CDS)
• Equipment calibration and metrology systems
• Enterprise Document Management Systems (EDMS)
• Quality Management Systems (QMS)
• Statistical analysis systems
• Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES)

AgiLab’s approach for instrument integration is to provide generic configurable interface mechanisms, rather than hard coded integrations to a specific list of instruments. We provide out-of-the-box plugins for:

• Waters Empower Chromatography Data System
• Mettler-Toledo LabX System

The AgiLab platform is a centralised repository for all structured and unstructured data means that, once captured, data is fully searchable and can be used for trending and reporting.

The AgiLab platform allows you to:

• Collate results and other information across experiments and tests
• Generate summary information on the status of their projects and experiments
• Use business intelligence dashboarding
• Measure and report metrics and KPIs
• Deliver enterprise level system monitoring

In addition, our analytics capabilities is designed to deliver predictive analytics, natural language and semantic search capabilities to support big data and advanced analytics strategies.
