Waters has now designed NuGenesis Scientific Data Management System (SDMS) Form Designer 2.1, a module for SDMS Vision Publisher, that converts SOPs (standard operating procedures) from several analytical technologies into one electronic form to support prescribed analytical workflows.

The SDMS Vision Publisher acts as a portal to other laboratory applications such as LIMS (laboratory information management systems), small lab devices, instrument and consumable inventories, chromatography data system, and the SDMS repository, the Form Designer 2.1 module can create a comprehensive electronic workflow form for seamless information transfer.

This  Form Designer was developed to reduce transcription errors compared to manual SOPs and enhance workflow productivity, especially for complex processes found in quality control (QC) laboratories, said Thomas Schmidt, Informatics Senior Product Manager, for the Waters Division.

 “An easy-to-use configuration tool to integrate various laboratory instruments and systems, Form Designer 2.1 supports Lean Six Sigma initiatives in most life science companies,” he added.

The new SDMS Vision Publisher Form Designer 2.1 contains new functionalities and upgrades, including simplified configuration features, enhanced tools for external code integration, and the ability to add custom task buttons.
