MassHunter Walkup Software by Agilent Technologies

Agilent's Walkup Software enables simplified access to the power and precision of high quality LC and LC/MS processes for multiple users. Fast and intuitive walk-up operation of 6100 Series Quadrupole LC/MS, 6230 Time-of-Flight LC/MS and 6500 Series Quadrupole Time-of-Flight LC/MS systems is achieved for casual users or workgroups sharing LC/MS instruments. Users may simply "walk up" to an LC/MS system, input basic sample information and choose from a list of analytical methods or purification schemes available. Sample submitters are prompted where to place their samples. They will receive their results by e-mail  when the samples are completed. Managers of multiple instrument installations can take advantage of networking instruments through an OpenLAB Shared Services Server to allow administration from anywhere in the lab.

Features:

• Multiple-instrument networking enables all systems to share permissions, protocols and user account structures from a single database, reducing managment of instrument-specific configuration and administration.
• Supports Agilent high-throughput and purification LC/MS systems allowing simultaneous purification and compound confirmation (6100 Single Quad only).
• Very simple sample submission and monitoring - the user simply identifies themselves, inputs sample information, selects from predefined methods and places samples where directed.
• Flexible administration tools allow administrators to establish protocols that match laboratory needs and ensure instruments remain operational even when in use by untrained sample submitters.
• The system may be used with broad range of autosamplers and runs with 2 mL or 6 mL vials or well plates.
• Optional external tray and vial discard allows for indefinite operation without clearing autosampler.
• Data and reports are automatically e-mailed to sample submitters, without the need to return to the instrument. Users can review data anywhere using MassHunter Analytical Studio Reviewer.
