OpenLab ECM

Secure data storage designed to support global and multi-site deployments

OpenLab ECM XT is a scientific data management system (SDMS) that centralizes laboratory data from Agilent and non-Agilent data systems, helping laboratories maintain data integrity, improve data accessibility, and support long-term retention.

  • OpenLab ECM is a lab data management software that provides centralized on-premises storage of data generated by Agilent and non-Agilent data systems and other laboratory software, from a single site, on multiple sites, and across the globe. With access to data from a single source, tasks can be performed system-wide rather than across individual workstations - enabling higher efficiency and uptime.
  • OpenLab ECM has built-in technical controls to support your regulatory compliance efforts. Automated data organization, reporting, and archiving improves information accessibility and lab efficiency.
  • Seamless integration with all analytical data systems – Get single-point access to all your analytical data, including all data types and file formats, to ensure data accuracy, consistency, and accessibility.
  • Smarter data storage – Automate data collection to ensure successful capture and organization of all your lab data, reports, and documents. Scientific and operational metadata extraction enables easy access and retrieval.
  • Remote data access – Access and manage your data remotely from your Web browser and review information without interrupting lab operations.
  • Data integrity tools – Preserve the integrity of your data with technical controls to securely acquire and store data in laboratories that must follow the compliance guidelines of FDA 21 CFR Part 11, EU Annex 11, GAMP5 as well as ISO/IEC 17025 and EPA&#146s 40 CFR Part 160.
  • Scalable architecture – Add new instruments quickly and scale up to meet increased workloads as your lab grows–including across multiple sites.
  • Enhanced functionality – Automate your processes and generate reports with additional add-on modules.

Specifications

How it works

Centralize all your laboratory data securely

Automatically collect data from your Agilent and non-Agilent instrument software and accurately capture scientific results with associated metadata.

  • Direct integration with Agilent software: OpenLab CDS, OpenLab ChemStation, and MassHunter.
  • Configure schedulers through file upload criteria and automatically retrieve files from clients.
  • Capture metadata at the time of upload through programmatic metadata extraction.

Review your analytical reports remotely

OpenLab ECM makes it easy to find, review, share, and approve any file securely from your web browser. Access from any device on the network without having to install any software.

  • Search and find files quickly using a simple search query or perform an advanced search by filtering your results to find specific files.
  • Open and review files in their native application like Microsoft Office and Adobe Acrobat.
  • Share reports and request approval by simply sending a link. Recipients can review files prior to signing.

Match data accessibility to your laboratory practices

Built-in administrative functionality provides systematic control of files, while advanced controls allow files and data to be linked for greater context.

  • Assign users, groups, and roles based on the laboratory processes to prevent uncontrolled changes to data.
  • Create file associations to efficiently manage raw data to printed reports.
  • Access ECM content through other laboratory and business
  • software.

Frequently asked questions

Should I upgrade to the newest version of OpenLab ECM?

Microsoft Server 2012 R2 and previous versions are at the end of their lifetime. This means you'll need to upgrade to OpenLab ECM version 3.6 to continue receiving critical and important security updates.

Are OpenLab Server, ECM XT, or ECM tested and supported with an SASC version of Microsoft Windows Server?

OpenLab server products (OpenLab Server, OpenLab ECM XT, and OpenLab ECM) are not supported with the SASC (semi-annual service channel) versions of Windows Server.
