LimsLink CDS
LimsLink CDS is the most advanced CDS (Chromatography Data System) to LIMS interface solution available today. Employing an exclusive Embedded Interface technology, LimsLink CDS integrates CDS and LIMS at the most logical point – from right inside the CDS client.
Automate Sequence Creation from the CDS Client
Embedded Interface technology provides analysts with a menu item in their CDS client that they can click, to automatically query LIMS for a list of samples that are scheduled to run for a particular analysis.

LimsLink CDS collects that list and reformats it into a full sequence that is automatically loaded into the CDS.
- Automatically expand LIMS work lists to include standards, blanks, replicates, etc.
- Analysts can review and edit sequences prior to upload to the CDS or sequences can be uploaded transparently.
Automated sequence creation eliminates the need to manually create and type sequences into the CDS before analysts start running tests. Errors are eliminated and analysts have more time to run tests, making them more productive.
Simple Configuration
Simple drop down menus and check boxes are used to set up the integration with both the LIMS and CDS. The CDS configuration screens are specific for each type of CDS and use the same ter¬minology as the CDS, making the configuration process easy to understand.
LimsLink CDS supports internal validation and versioning of these configurations and a lock down mechanism to prevent the use of non-validated configurations.
Use Standard CDS Reporting Procedures
LimsLink CDS captures standard CDS reports electronically, automatically extracts data from the reports and transfers results directly to LIMS. Reports can also be printed or sent to other data management systems (SDMS, ERP, etc.) at the same time as results are sent to LIMS.
This process is completely transparent to the analyst who simply uses their standard CDS reporting procedures.
