Mettler-Toledo LabX data handling software

LabX is a ready-made, configurable system that drives workflow standard operating procedures (SOP) directly through the user’s instruments. By installing the software, laboratories wishing to improve results, quality compliance and efficiency through automation can take advantage of the instruments that are often already in the lab.

The system offers an easy-to-use, transparent user experience that addresses the challenges of benchtop automation and integration. It delivers automatic, integrated instrument management and data capture functionalities to improve productivity and efficiency by centring the work on the instrument. It can also be integrated with the lab’s core scientific systems, such as electronic laboratory notebooks (ELN) or laboratory information and management systems (LIMS).

The system’s touch screen delivers real-time, step-by-step workflow guidance to the user according to the lab’s own SOPs. The SOPs are easily configured with the flexible workflow tool that takes advantage of the instrument-specific features present in each model’s firmware. The lab’s benchtop instruments are easily networked to a PC or server inside or outside the lab hosting the software.

LabX captures full traceability to the instrument, method and analyst performing the work and incorporates full user rights management. A complete log and audit trail of all user and system actions is maintained. All measurement and related data is maintained in the LabX database for immediate or subsequent reporting or for automatic transfer to other lab systems. When complete, data can be analysed on a networked PC in the lab or office, printed to a network printer, saved as a PDF or sent to the LIS.
