Bioanalysis is an integral part of clinical and pre-clinical drug development. Efficient assay validation, bioanalysis of samples, instrument interfacing, sample tracking, and reporting of results are key steps in progressing a compound through R&D activities and into regulatory submission. Watson includes key functionality specific to the bioanalytical laboratory, including flexible protocol-based study design, assay/method standardization and management, integrated sample tracking and a configurable reassay decision tree. Watson includes more than 70 built-in interfaces to LC/MS, HPLC, ELISA, RIA, ICP/MS, multiplex and other instruments. It also supports a wide range of pharmacokinetic/toxicokinetic calculations. The acknowledged standard for bioanalytical LIMS, Watson facilitates efficient study design and data transfer between researchers, enabling them to benefit from improved operational efficiency.
