Agilent WalkUp Software makes the complex simple. Users walk up to a LC or LC/MS system, identify themselves, input basic sample information, choose from a list of analytical methods or purification workflows, and are prompted where to place their samples. Results are sent by e-mail when sample runs are completed. This simplified mass spec software enables easy access for multiple users to the power and precision of LC and LC/MS.

The user-friendly WalkUp interface enables fast, intuitive, and error-free operation not only of LC, low-resolution LC/MS, UV and mass-directed fraction collection systems, but also of high-resolution mass spectrometers typically operated by specialists. WalkUp minimizes time spent in the lab while optimizing instrument utilization for users of shared instruments. Multiple instruments can be networked through an OpenLab Shared Services Server to allow monitoring and administration from anywhere at any time.

Features

• One simple sample submission interface enables minimally trained users to submit samples to OpenLab CDS 2.X, OpenLab CDS ChemStation, and MassHunter for LC/TOF and LC/Q-TOF.
• WalkUp supports InfinityLab LC, 6100 Series Quadrupole LC/MS, LC/MSD, LC/MSD XT, LC/MSD iQ, 6230 Time-of-Flight LC/MS, and 6500 Series Quadrupole Time-of-Flight LC/MS systems.
• Optional external tray enables automatic vial discard with vial autosamplers, eliminating the need to manually clear the autosampler and reducing administrator tasks.
• Support of card readers for touch-free user identification.
• Customizable sample naming as well as regular expression sample naming enable error-free sample submissions, minimizing time spent in labs where occupancy may be limited.
• Support of fraction collectors including 1290 Infinity II Preparative Open-bed Sampler/Collectors enabling simultaneous UV or mass-directed purification and compound confirmation on 6100 series Single Quadrupole LC/MS LC/MSD, and LC/MSD XT systems.
• Optimized sample queue management allows fast submission of samples for shorter cycle times.
• Flexible tools allow administrators to customize the sample submission user interface and establish protocols that match laboratory needs and ensure instruments remain operational even when in use by minimally trained sample submitters.
• Multiple-instrument networking configuration enables all systems to share permissions, WalkUp methods, and user account structures from a single database, reducing management of instrument-specific configuration and administration.
• Data and reports are automatically copied or e-mailed to sample submitters, without the need to return to the instrument. Users can review data anywhere using MassHunter Analytical Studio Reviewer.
