Based on standard database
features, Agilent ChemStore C/S
offers functionality which focuses
on the user’s needs for fast, secure
and traceable handling of chro-
matographic data:
• User-defined or automated
transfer of selected data from
the Agilent ChemStation into
the Agilent ChemStore C/S data-
base.
• Define, edit and manage
“studies” as the underlying data
storage format.
• Manage or restrict data access
in studies by assigning study
access only to authorized users.
• Create database queries
graphically without the need for
any knowledge of the SQL lan-
guage.
• Review entire sets of data
across instruments and studies,
that several sequences in a fast
and easy manner.
• Create additional filters and
selection criteria to produce
adequate subsets of the study in
order to best sort the data and
optimize the performance.
• Complete audit traceability by
individual log-ins and complete
documentation within the data-
base including authorization
failures.
• Security check of all files that
have been transferred over the
network from the ChemStation
application to the ChemStore
database application and back.
Whenever a corruption of the
datafile is detected, the user
receives an error message and
the file is no longer available for
modifications.
• Approve or reject runs after
reviewing, following the rules
for electronic signature.
• Ability to flag an arbitary
set of samples for reprocessing,
and to initiate batch reprocess-
ing of those samples on any
Agilent ChemStation in a C/S
network.
• Custom fields—User specified
additional information fields
with each set of results (“run”)
to hold values not measured by
the Agilent ChemStation (for
example, weights, pH, etc.) that
can be used for later queries,
reports or charts.
• Flexibility in scaling and
labeling control chart data.
• Simple user-defined
calculations for control charts
and reports.
• User-controlled fast and easy
data export to other applica-
tions such as MS Excel
®
.
• Powerful and intuitive
report generator based on MS
Access runtime including most
commonly used report tem-
plates.
• Architecture allows for off-line
review. Can be installed as a
data review client running on a
separate PC without needing
the Agilent ChemStation soft-
ware.
• Data from non-Agilent chroma-
tography systems may be
included via the Agilent Chem-
Station AIA import capability.
• Agilent ChemStore C/S offers
the possibility to start with an
entry level solution, and to then
upgrade when the data pro-
cessing needs increase.
Laboratories can easily
upgrade from one or more
entry-level standalone systems
to an Agilent ChemStore C/S
server Oracle database
client/server system. Previously
stored data in the entry-level
databases can be easily migrat-
ed to the new server database.
The user interface does not
change, except that some addi-
tional items are available for
administrators.
• A built-in archive/delete tool
allows for easy data transfer to
other disks and or media to
free up database space while
keeping a complete audit-trail
of all archiving and delete
operations.
• Automatic archiving
based on a set of configurable
archive queries for easy data-
base maintenance and adminis-
tration.
• Open system connectivity
using XML (Extensible Markup
Language) for easy data
exchange with other applica-
tions.
