Scientific Software Announces New RS232 Interfacing Solutions for CyberLAB Knowledge Engineering System

Pleasanton, CA (October 24, 2002) Scientific Software, Inc., a world leader in providing software solutions to the scientific community, announced today that they have selected LimsLink and Nexxis software applications from Labtronics Inc. as interfacing solutions for transferring RS232 data to their CyberLAB Knowledge Engineering System(TM). This provides CyberLAB users with a choice of solutions for the full integration of data from RS232 based instruments.

"With this agreement Scientific Software's clients can now include full integration of their RS232 based instruments into their CyberLAB implementation" said Robert Pavlis, President of Labtronics Inc. "The ability to configure and implement LimsLink and Nexxis to meet specific application requirements is in keeping with Scientific Software's philosophy of offering solutions that keep pace with changing technology and laboratory requirements."

LimsLink provides secure management of the most complex data streams, combined with the ability to include sample information from the LIMS with the raw data from the instrument. Additional processing and calculations can be carried out on the data within LimsLink, before a report is generated and sent to CyberLAB. In this manner, LimsLink acts as a "data system" for RS232 based instruments that do not have their own application for formatting and reporting data. LimsLink includes all of the security components required to meet 21 CFR Part 11 compliance requirements.

The Nexxis Information Integration System provides a data system for small instruments such as balances, pH meters, etc., that also documents and controls the execution of SOPs for these instruments, ensuring that every SOP is followed exactly as written. User definable methods automate the SOP - collecting data from the instrument, prompting the analyst through each step, performing any required calculations and preparing a report for CyberLAB. 21 CFR Part 11 compliance requirements can be met with the full integration of electronic signatures, password protection and audit trail into the Nexxis solution.

CyberLAB KES, used by leading pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and fast becoming the standard for knowledge management in the life sciences market, collects, warehouses, manages and archives any and all electronic records for an enterprise. CyberLAB enhances organizations compliance with US FDA Part 11 requirements for electronic records and electronic signature.

"We are pleased to be able to offer our CyberLAB users a choice of interfacing solutions for their RS232 based instruments." said Dr. Soheil Saadat, President and CEO of Scientific Software, Inc. "Labtronics' expertise in providing instrument interfacing solutions ensures that our customers will benefit from full integration of all of their laboratory instrumentation with CyberLAB.
