SFC-Application 2.1
      
       
     
     
       Software to perform SFC Measurements using the NMR-Method
         Fully automated from LIMS to LIMS
       
       With SFC-Application you can perform computerized measurements with your Bruker minispec device.
 
       The  software controls the processing of the sample tubes, the measurement using the  minispec and also other devices, such as robot, tempering blocks, etc. SFC-Application manages the methods  for the measurement and all sample data with their results. Additionally, an interface  between SFC-Application and LIMS is available. This interface is  bidirectional, which means that the interface imports the sample orders from  the LIMS and exports the results back to the LIMS. 
       The sample data is  archived and can be selected easily using a search tools. The search results  can be exported to other applications via the Windows clipboard.
       Features "Method Management":
       - Plain and  simple, customizable 
- Any method  (sequence) feasible 
- Customer specific methods, e.g. rapid methods  of every shape 
- Integration of the Bruker minispec in the  method (by Active-X control) 
- Serial processing of one sample with multiple  methods one after
              another 
- Supported proceedings: serial, parallel and indirect
Features "Temperature Management":
       
         - Monitoring and graphical display of the  actual temperatures
- Alarm call if desired temperature is out of  min/max range
- Tempering steps can always be added, modified or deleted during the process
Workflow -  Manual sample processing without robot

Benefits:
        - Automated time management / no buzzer needed
         - Service by semi-skilled workers ( e.g. in production facilities)
- Automated sample registration from the LIMS
- Automated delivery of the results to the LIMS
- Time savings
- Prevention of transmission errors
- Paperless laboratory
Workflow - Fully automated sample processing with robot
       
       Additional Benefits with robot
       :
      
       
       
       
       
         - High sample throughput (up to 1500 measurements per day)
           - High reliability and high reproducibility of the SFC-Results
             - Strict observance of all retention  times independent
               of the method mix (e.g.  long-term/rapid methods)
- Economy of manpower
- Automatic optimization of the  complete system according to
             sample throughput or time compliance
- Fully automated "Daily Check"
  - Fully automated measurements of  kinetics and crystallization
- Monitoring of the SFC processing and the  temperatures at any workstation
  - Temperature  control and setup of the temper blocks by SFC-Application
System requirements:
       
         - Windows XP SP3, Windows Vista or Windows 7
           - CD-ROM drive for program installation
- Monitor with a minimum resolution of 1280 x 1024  pixels
- The system has to fulfill the requirements of Microsoft .Net Framework 3.0
