 Instrument to LIMS Interfacing Simplified
  LimsLink Express is a low cost solution that provides basic instrument to LIMS interfacing for laboratories that don?t require the security features and sophisticated processing capabilities that are included in the full LimsLink product.  
Simplifying the interface reduces the overall cost of ownership by reducing 
both the cost to purchase LimsLink Express and the cost of implementation.  
LimsLink Express is a new approach to LIMS interfacing that provides:  
	- Basic, file-based instrument to LIMS interfacing 
 
	- Lower cost to purchase 
 
	- Shorter implementation time 
 
	 
 
Basic LIMS Interfacing 
LimsLink Express provides a solution for laboratories that are looking for 
an efficient means for transferring sample information between their instruments 
and their LIMS.  
Files containing sample information can be sent from the LIMS to LimsLink 
Express, where they can be reformatted and used as a worklist of samples. That 
sample information can be formatted, expanded and sent from LimsLink Express to 
an instrument data system, where it can be used as a sample list or sequence.
 
LimsLink Express can collect sample results from instruments via RS232 or as 
output files from an instrument data system. LimsLink Express can then format 
those results and output a report file that is ready to be collected by the LIMS. 
 
Shorter Implementation Time  
In most cases, LimsLink Express can be implemented over the Web without the cost 
of having someone visit your site. We offer a fixed cost installation, training 
and method development package (some restrictions apply). If you are ready to 
provide your specific requirements, most instruments can be implemented in under 
2 days.
