NuGENESIS SDMS UPGRADES User Interface The VISION user interface has been redesigned for a more modern look and feel as well as improved ease of use. Administrative Dashboard and Logging The NuGenesis Lab Management System brings extended logging of events and metrics on the backend components (servers, archive agent, data management, off-line storage management, and transport engine). This rich information can now be processed in the dashboard option (powered by SolarWinds) for near-realtime insight into the system s health. Audit Trail Easily find audit trail information on one or more records from the VISION user interface. Data Retention Enhanced support for data retention policies and legal hold with automatic application of legal holds and reports on configuration and record status; SDK support. Example Projects NuGenesis comes with several example projects for use with: Waters Empower Software Archived Empower projects Empower reports AQT reports SystemsQT reports Waters MassLynx Software AB Sciex Analyst Agilent ChemStation Thermo Scientific Xcalibur Bruker BioSpin HyStar/Compass These projects are also included on the NuGenesis installation media and feature: File Capture templates for use with Empower and standard mass spectrometry software Print Capture templates for default reports Predefined NuGenesis SDMS projects with tag values and views Paradigm Scientific Search Paradigm Scientific Search, an alternative searching mechanism with unparalleled added capabilities, is integrated in the Nugenesis Software. Language Support Supports English, Japanese, Korean, Russian, and Simplified Chinese language environments.

NuGENESIS ELN UPGRADES Empower/SDMS Interface The Empower and SDMS interface of the NuGenesis ELN includes new functionality and ergonomic enhancements. The functionality reduces the number of mouse clicks required to transfer Sample Set and Results Data to and from Empower and SDMS. This tool helps you more easily leverage the data and information collected in these two systems and repurpose it within your technical worksheets and documentation. All while reducing transcription errors and increasing the rate at which information is being gathered and processed and strengthening your compliance with regulations like 21 CFR Part 11 and Annex 11. Reporting Framework The enhanced reporting framework supports the definition of report templates with configurable input parameters that a user can enter at runtime to get the information they are looking for. The reports can be exported into various formats (e.g., HTML, CSV, TEXT, and EXCEL). Based on the new reporting framework there is a variety of standardized out-of-the-box reports that provide metrics and lab statistics information to the user. Template Management To reduce the number of overall templates and minimize the validation efforts, it is now possible to manage a list of parameters and multiple sets of values for the parameters that are stored with the template definition. When a document is generated based on a parameterized template, a set of parameter values is used to initialize the document parameters. Menu Items for Custom Form Calls It is now possible to integrate menu items to call custom forms and third party plug-ins. The plug-ins can be integrated into the UI as menu entries/shortcuts or as additional actions in the My Work pages or Document Editor. Training Records There is a new dedicated screen to track the training records for users that control the access to a template. NuGENESIS SAMPLE MANAGMENT NEW The Sample Management functionality of the NuGenesis ELN allows for more flexibility concerning the usage and visualization of information (fields) on request, test and sample level. NuGenesis Connectors NuGenesis Connectors are configurable utilities that provide a direct link between the NuGenesis Lab Management System and business systems such as SAP. This link facilitates seamless communication of instructions and information including test requests, standard operating procedures (SOPs), product specifications, and test results. NuGenesis SampleShare A web-based sample submission client enables users to securely register samples in NuGenesis from any browser. This allows a seamless transfer of sample data to and from any external laboratory, business unit, or customer. NuGenesis Stability NuGenesis Stability is a complete stability protocol management and testing solution integrated into the NuGenesis Laboratory Management System. Developed in accordance with the current GAMP and ICH guidelines, it is a fully validated and tested software application that uses industry-recognized calculations. Specification Management The specification management module has been enhanced to support the definition of product specifications including products, tests, references to analytical procedures (methods) and acceptance criteria on result level. Additionally it is possible to define limits for multiple countries within one specification. User Interface Updates To improve the sample management user experience, various improvements have been made for a better visual indication of status information and exceptions that have occurred based on entered results that are off-limit.
