Efficient laboratory management
As laboratory managers, you have likely struggled with obtaining quick and accurate access to utilization and status information for the different analytical instruments in the lab; as scientists, we often spend an excessive amount of time manually updating system logbooks and communicating instrument-related information and availability. This is where the Thermo Scientific Ardia Platform and its Instruments application comes in.
Thermo Scientific Ardia Platform
The Ardia Platform is a scalable software solution for modern, dynamic (often cloud-based) environments. It connects and organizes projects, people and instruments, on a global level, with web-based access and secure, centralized data storage, enabling scientists to collaborate more efficiently and gain new insights faster, helping them get closer to the truth.
Ardia Platform Instruments application
The Instruments application within the Ardia Platform is designed to digitally connect the lab so you can view, share and manage instruments, no matter where you are and when it is. You can go online and check the injection sequence status while working remotely and, if needed, reserve the instrument for follow-up maintenance. After maintenance, you can document everything electronically in the Logbook.
All these small, humane features are brought together to maximize the instrument’s up time, help identify the appropriate user or instrument owner when there is an issue and allow scientists to focus on what matters most – their research.
Instruments application features
The Ardia Platform Instruments application is the driving force behind easily managing, scheduling and monitoring systems like liquid chromatography, gas chromatography and mass spectrometry.
- Systems – where you can find detailed system information, monitor instrument status and notify the instrument owner if there is an issue. All instruments connected via the Thermo Scientific Xcalibur software and Thermo Scientific Chromeleon Chromatography Data System are supported.
- Logbook – where you can track important events for each system in an accessible and consistent format.
- Auto-tracks the instrument configuration change history
- Automates entries from supported instrument types
- Manually update the maintenance record for actions that cannot be automated today
- Scheduler – where you can view the system availability, reserve systems for a specific user/project or maintenance event and notify users if there is a change. Additionally, you can maintain schedules for other customized lab assets as needed.
- Support – where you can request instrument support from Unity Lab Services regardless of location.
- Get up and running quickly by effortlessly creating service tickets without the need for a phone call, automatically sharing necessary instrument information and securely sharing data with the technical support team.
