HP Announces PC-Based HP ChemLMS Application For Quality Control
Laboratories

PALO ALTO, CALIFORNIA. APRIL 18, 1996

Hewlett-Packard Company today announced a new preconfigured, PC-based
client application for HP ChemLMS. Designed in conjunction with leading
pharmaceutical and chemical quality control (QC) labs, QC client for HP
ChemLMS offers laboratory information management system (LIMS)
capabilities with the convenience of using Microsoft Windows and NT
desktop environments.

LIMS sample workflow can be structured to follow the user's own
non-automated laboratory workflow model using the fully automated client
work management solution. For example, a lab manger can place a "folder"
of samples in a chemist's "inbox." The chemist then is notified that new
work has arrived and can retrieve the sample information for further
processing tasks.

A Windows-based procedure wizard captures the power of HP ChemLMS'
Procedure Specification Language (PSL), making lab methodologies, test
procedures, business rules, and specifications easy to define.

The HP QC client provides an easy-to-use MS Windows interface for system
startup and configuration, making it possible for laboratory personnel to
configure user profiles, sample work flow and triggered events.

Modular in design, the HP QC client makes it easy for functionality to be
added or substituted. The popular Microsoft Visual Basic software
development environment facilitates creation of custom solutions based on
a particular lab's needs.
