This module has been designed to interface with the LIMS analytic instruments of the laboratory, in order to automate the acquisition of analytic results in Prolab.Q. he system architechture is made up of two sections:

• I-Gateway Server manages the recording of parameters received by single instruments, rules the users accesses according to preset visibility rights, manages the validation of received data, communicates with Prolab.Q for the final transfer of results, ensuring its traceability
• I-Gateway Client manages communication protocol for any interfaced instrumen

Thanks to this module it is possible to manage all changes needed on the operative masks of Prolab.Q after the initial configuration phase. This involves no additional costs, for the continuous improvement of the system during the years. All changes made on the masks can immediately be made effective in the LIMS, with no need of any external intervention or reconfiguration.
