Promoting Multivendor Chromatography System Interoperability
Jan 04 2010
Agilent Technologies, Inc expanded its commitment to open systems for chromatography data systems (CDS) by announcing a collaboration with Persistent Systems, a leader in software product development services, and by joining the DriverCentral.net instrument driver portal.
Multivendor instrument connectivity is a core need in many laboratories because scientists often operate diverse instrumentation from multiple vendors in a single laboratory. For efficient lab operation and easy sharing of instruments and data, labs require a single data system to manage all their instruments and create reports in a common format.
Control for multivendor instrumentation is a core functionality of Agilent’s EZChrom Elite CDS and OpenLAB enterprise platforms, with support for more than 20 vendors.
Led by Persistent, DriverCentral.net is the industry’s first independent device-driver portal for analytical instrument driver purchase. DriverCentral is seen as a breakthrough for purchasing and managing drivers for analytical instruments.
Agilent is collaborating with Persistent Systems in three main ways: transferring many of its non-Agilent instrument drivers to Persistent Systems for further development and support; providing documentation on its RC.NET technology to convert legacy drivers to the new standard and develop new drivers based on RC.NET; and joining DriverCentral.net to make its own analytical instrument drivers available through the portal.
