Sapphire Informatics Edition

The Sapphire Informatics Edition is an information solution with rich technology that provides flexible, visual workflow capability for today's leading laboratories and research institutes. The solution can best be visualized as an "information umbrella", connecting many islands of dissimilar data and applications and storing them in a single centralized database with various user defined interfaces providing rapid access to knowledge

Key functional elements available in the solution include:

• Routinely handles extremely large number of samples or data points
• Plate-to-plate operations- 96/384/1536 micro titer plate formats supported
• Mother Daughter Plate production
• Multiple Membrane/Filter Media types supported
• Assay Compound Plate mapping
• Product is fully GALP/GAMP and FDA compliant
• Supports CFR21 part 11 with electronic signature
• Complete audit trail generation
• Reformatting, re-racking and cherry picking for 96/384/1536 micro titer plate formats
• Seamless integration with leading robotic solutions and laboratory instruments
- Client can add new robots or instruments themselves as their environment changes
- Client can track instrument or robot maintenance and calibration schedules
• Graphical drag and drop workflow engine
• Automated workflow process capability
• Ability to track protocols, SOP's, MSDS's, primers, reagents (including volumes and expiration dates) and other laboratory supplies
• Audit Trail Replay- marble drop visualization of business processes
• Open Data Model allows flexibility in Dynamic environments
• Polylingual ability to support unique lab terms, custom dictionaries and multiple languages on an individual user profile basis
•Workflows- visual adoptability

The Automation Manager and To Do List Manager provides background automation, management of time-based events such as pre-login, scheduling, dissemination of reports via e-mail, communication with robots and manipulation of millions of daily data points generated in the typical Informatics environment.

The "marble drop player" enables efficient monitoring and bottleneck elimination, and instrument utilization. It also allows review of the path taken by a sample or samples within the lab. Like using the buttons on a VCR, users can now replay a given sample or group of samples' ‘history' or path through a given workflow for internal or FDA use.
