Complete Device Integration Solutions

Integration of hardware automation devices may occur on an existing instrument, or when purchasing a used instrument from Konnis. If the device driver does not already exist one can be written. Drivers are delivered as an executable to maintain flexibility and compatibility. Device drivers are used to control the device directly or through the instrument's software. The modular structure of our software and hardware components produce a very maintainable instrument.

File Format Tools

Some assays rely heavily on sample tracking such as LC/MS and NMR sample preparation. Konnis builds File Format Tools that automate the liquid handler sample output file and reformat it for the analysis device.

A File Format Tool tracks the samples through recording the barcode and tube location along with what was done to the sample, then maps the input samples to the output tube or plate location and formats the file so the final system can directly use it as input. The tool increases throughput and reduces human error.

Available File Format Tools:

• Fmerge – Tracks and merges sample data for NMR system
• LC/MS Integrate – Creates properly formatted input file for LC/MS system

Integration Benefits

Our modular approach to device integration ensures:

• Maximum flexibility and compatibility
• Maintainable instrument configurations
• Increased throughput and efficiency
• Reduced human error in sample tracking
• Seamless data flow between systems
