Direct LIMS and SQC laboratory instrument integration
Connects laboratory instruments to eliminate manual data entry and transcription errors. Bidirectional communication supports sample login, result transmission, and real-time status updates.
You need accuracy
Compatible with a wide range of analyzers, providing flexible integration options across diverse environments and workflows.
Instrument-generated results feed directly into a single data environment, for consistent data, audit trails, and compliance.
Let lab personnel stay focused on analysis rather than transcriptions to allow more time for quality review and decision-making.
Built for laboratory integration
Sample login transmission
When a sample is registered in BLISS LIMS or SQC+, Instrument Pro forwards the login request directly to the instrument, eliminating the need for duplicate data entry at the analyzer and ensuring the instrument is working from accurate, system-generated sample information.
Chromatography sequence file development
Instrument Pro supports sequence file development for several major chromatography data systems, including ChemStation™, OpenLab™, ChromPerfect™, EZChrom™, and Millennium32™, allowing technicians to manage and deploy instrument sequences directly from within their LIMS workflow.
Instrument control and automation
Instrument Pro provides gas chromatography and autosampler control, along with automation support for a range of non-chromatography instrumentation including the Mettler™ titrator, Precision™ ADA, Canon™ auto viscometer, and additional analyzers common to refinery and industrial quality control laboratories.
Automated result transfer
Upon analysis completion, the instrument transmits results back through Instrument Pro into BLISS LIMS or SQC+, where they are stored and immediately available for review, approval, and reporting without any manual transcription step.
Real-time status monitoring
Instrument Pro relays instrument status signals back to the LIMS in real time, giving lab personnel continuous visibility into analyzer availability, run completion, and any error conditions without requiring manual checks at the instrument.
Supported instruments & analyzers
Supported instrument types
Instrument Pro supports a broad range of laboratory analyzers used in petroleum refinery and quality control environments, including chromatographs, spectrometers, viscometers, flash point testers, and other ASTM method-based instrumentation commonly found in refinery and industrial laboratories.
Modern and legacy instrument compatibility
Instrument Pro is designed to connect both current-generation instruments and older legacy analyzers, protecting existing capital investments and allowing laboratories to integrate established instrumentation without requiring equipment replacement or costly upgrades.
Supported interface types
Instrument Pro communicates with instruments through industry-standard interfaces including RS-232 serial connections, TCP/IP network protocols, and file-based data exchange, providing flexible connectivity options across a wide range of instrument generations and manufacturer configurations.
IT involvement
Once configured, Instrument Pro operates without requiring routine IT intervention. Administrative management is handled through BLISS LIMS or SCQ+, keeping instrument oversight within the laboratory workflow rather than dependent on external IT resources.
