Do you want accurate and effective tracking and management of medical, scientific or food samples through your lab?

If so, your LIMS needs to communicate seamlessly with your lab processes. You need "a LIMS-lab pact"! Autoscribe work closely with Aitken Scientific to create a universal system that can work for your lab too. For more information click here .

Instrument Integration and Machine Control Software

Aitken Scientific have years of experience integrating laboratory instruments together and controlling automated machinery. Our unified approach to Sample Tracking / LIMS and instrument integration and machine control is to look for the simplest and most robust design. Simpler systems can often be controlled directly through their connection media (like RS232, ethernet/TCP or custom I/O cards), more complicated automated systems often need to be controlled via the manufacturers software to make best use of the available functionality.

Aitken Scientific's  and Autoscribe's design process includes a detailed analysis of the user requirements and the hardware required. By incorporating software components from our extensive scientific software library we are able to produce extremely reliable, cost effective systems in a short time period.

For a fully integrated system, Aitken Scientific can provide custom benches, electrical subsystems, pneumatics and custom metalwork to bring the entire system together. The integrated system can include:

• Barcode scanners
• Cameras & vision systems
• Liquid handlers, including Gilson™ and Tecan™
• Microtitre plate readers
• HPLC systems, including Agilent™, Gilson™ and Waters™
• Industrial robots including Kawasaki™, Staubli™ and Epson™
• Hotplates
• Thermocyclers
• Evaporators
• Plate stackers
• Pumping systems

Working closely with Aitken Scientific we can fully integrate your laboratory equipment to provide a fully integrated LIMS or Sample Tracking solution. Please contact us for more details.

Benefits of working with Autoscribe and Aitken Scientific

Dramatic improvements in throughput and lab technicians’ time and efficiency. Associated enhancements in accuracy and quality of sample results for down stream business processes. Significant reductions in manual intervention and manual/duplicated transcription of data, leading to dramatic improvement in lab technician job satisfaction!

Our solution will connect our LIMS or Sample Tracking solution to whichever lab management process you have adopted delivering a customised solution, regardless of the type of source machines. We can also help you integrate 3rd party LIMS solutions with your lab management processes and instrumentation.

This is a particularly beneficial application for CROs and the food industry where every sample has to be tested for quality standards reporting to regulatory bodies.
