MDL® Plate Manager:
Integrated plate management system
Advances in screening techniques offer significant potential for the discovery
of new chemical and pharmaceutical compounds. But with the development of
high-density plates and lab automation, researchers face the challenge of
tracking and sorting vast amounts of data associated with plates. To meet this
challenge, MDL has developed MDL Plate Manager, an integrated plate management
system.
Using Plate Manager, scientists can perform management tasks from their
desktop, including:
- Create plates
- Reformat plates
- Import plates and samples
- Search for plate and sample information
- Manage plate inventory
- Track history
The Plate Manager Advantage
Some of the features that make Plate Manager superior to other plate management
systems include:
- Adaptive Features—Plate Manager allows users to add fields to
forms to accommodate terminology and protocols specific to the organization.
- Automated Volume Tracking—Plate Manager ensures precise inventory
records by automatically decrementing sample volumes when destination plates
are created.
- Plate Expiration Monitoring—Scientists can use rules to monitor
freeze and thaw cycles and accurately determine plate expiration.
- Safe Data Storage—With Plate Manager, all data is securely stored
in an Oracle database.
- System Integration—Plate Manager integrates with MDL
Assay Explorer and MDL Afferent to provide a
complete lab management solution.
Plate Manager is designed to integrate with other systems so that scientists
can devote less time to lab operations and focus more energy on critical
strategic questions. By enabling researchers to redirect resources from
logistical tasks to higher-level decision-making, Plate Manager facilitates an
efficient discovery process and becomes a vital part of a laboratory workflow
management solution.
Plate Manager was created using Allegro
CL.
