Instrument

The Instrument Module in LDAS is a centralized platform designed to manage and integrate various laboratory instruments seamlessly. It serves as a bridge between your laboratory instruments and the LDAS system, allowing you to efficiently acquire, transform, and load data into your target systems. This module enables you to create instruments and generate activities. By connecting multiple instruments through pre-built connectors, the Instrument Module ensures seamless, bidirectional data exchange without any compatibility issues or data loss.

Features

Supports multiple communication protocols.
Enable real-time data capture.
Ensure data integrity from diverse sources.

Key Terms

This section provides an overview of the terminologies used in Instrument Module.

LDAS Agent Server – It is a platform used to extract the instrument data.
Agent – It is a component that operates within an LDAS agent server, interacting with laboratory instruments to collect data.
Processor - A processor is a component within an LDAS agent server that initiates activities. If the processor is not running, data will not be processed.
Archival Policy- This policy involves archiving both raw and processed data from instruments in cloud storage, allowing users to search for the necessary files using the associated metadata. If the archival module is purchased, data can be stored using S3-based archival in LDAS.
Parser- Parser is used to transform and standardize instrument data. You can extend the parser to incorporate your own business rules and add metadata.

📘
NOTE
The parser is built in Java or Python. Java would be deprecated, and we would go for Python in future.
