Ardia Platform Features

Get an overview of your entire lab and easily access detailed system information to streamline your instrument management. With up-to-date information, even if instrument configurations change, the system overview always reflects the current state of your lab.

• See all instruments configured with Thermo Scientific Xcalibur Software or Thermo Scientific Chromeleon CDS in one place
• Get real-time status and data acquisition feedback to enable fast, informed decisions
• Dive deep into individual instruments to see information on software/firmware versions, service contract expiration, and more to facilitate asset management

Increase laboratory efficiency by optimizing instrument utilization. Providing a single point to plan work, the Scheduler enables you to view system availability, effortlessly reserve instruments, manage schedules to avoid conflicts, and increase your utilization of assets.

• Easily book or assign instrument time across one or multiple instruments with single or recurring time windows
• Designate specified times for maintenance activities
• Maintain schedules for other assets in the lab with customizable entries

Eliminate the need for paper notebooks. Track important events for each system in an accessible and consistent format to demonstrate that instruments are working correctly and ensure that records are complete and accurate.

• Automatically track changes in configurations and automate entries from supported instrument types
• Manually add entries with custom descriptions and attach images, files, and more
• Access from anywhere on your web browser

Easily request instrument support from Unity Lab Services with the Instruments app. Effortlessly share relevant information to get your issues resolved faster.

• Generate service tickets without the need for phone calls
• Create service bundles that provide instrument logs and other information to help with troubleshooting
• Securely share the data you choose directly with technical support

Keep data secure, controlled, and audit-ready with built-in user and data management tools customizable to your organization's specific needs for improved operational efficiency.

• Define privileges for which user actions can be performed within the platform
• Control access to data using a role-based approach
• Customize individual user experiences to your organization’s needs

View and organize data more effectively. Store data centrally from Xcalibur Software or Chromeleon CDS and access data remotely from Thermo Scientific Proteome Discoverer Software, Thermo Scientific BioPharma Finder Software or Thermo Scientific Compound Discoverer Software.

• Organize data based on your laboratory’s requirements with a customizable file structure
• Enable quick record retrieval with flexible search options
• Facilitate method development for complex workflows such as multi-attribute method (MAM) with file sharing between applications

Audit trail capture is an underpinning function of the Ardia Platform providing audit trail entries that are automatically created when actions relating to managing data, users and settings are performed.

• Automated audit trail generation by the system captures the application performing the action, along with expected information such as user, timestamp and object identifier
• Entries can be viewed in a dedicated Audit Trail Viewer application
• Filter audit trails for quick review with the powerful query system

Have confidence in your file security and redundancy measures. System administrators can create a secure environment for files uploaded or managed from anywhere, with backup and archive capabilities as standard, providing disaster resilience and continuous high performance.

• Prompt data archival directly from the user interface
• Server-hosted backup is managed through a separate administrator user interface
• Cloud-hosted backup utilizes universal cloud backup functions from the cloud service provider

Use the Data Viewer application to view data from all your instruments in one location. With user-friendly features and web browser access, you can simultaneously view and work with data from anywhere with no need to install local software.

• Seamlessly view data collected from Xcalibur Software or Chromeleon CDS – no need to export or convert data files
• Easily display chromatograms, spectra, and linked data-dependent acquisitions
• Perform peak integration, extract ion chromatograms, and view diagnostic channels for troubleshooting assistance
• Export plots in .svg format for high resolution visualization

Utilize out-of-the-box dashboards to provide key laboratory insights on resource availability, instrument status and instrument performance in a centralized location.

• Track and monitor metrics, such as injections, injection time, injection volume, injection type, injection status and % utilization across systems and geographical locations.
• Focus on metrics that matter to you with interactive dashboards that can be filtered by system, system type, location, project, or time.

The Ardia Platform is a centralized, secure, and connected ecosystem that seamlessly integrates instruments and data processing software to optimize chromatography and mass spectrometry workflows. It enables automated data transfer from connected instruments, ensuring immediate access to all acquired data in a centralized environment. Connected processing software—such as BioPharma Finder, Compound Discoverer, and Proteome Discoverer—allows scientists to analyze data without the need for manual file transfers, improving efficiency and reliability. With secure remote access, real-time instrument monitoring, and advanced visualization tools, the Ardia Platform enhances collaboration, streamlines operations, and supports faster, more productive scientific workflows.​
