Debra 6.2 Laboratory Information Management System

Debra 6.2 laboratory information management system (LIMS) is designed for radiolabelled metabolism studies. The system offers a protocol set-up for adsorption/desorption studies, together with flexible reporting for all study parameters. Other key features include soil dispensing options for aqueous sediment study types, the ability to convert aliquot volumes to weights by addition of a density value — aiding preparation of aliquot batches using a fixed volume, dose unit of mg/subject — useful for low dose level eFate studies, all extraction (trace) calculations shown for easy QA and verification of calculated results. It covers both aerobic and anaerobic soil degradation and metabolism studies (OECD 307), soil adsorption (OECD 106), hydrolysis studies (OECD 111) and metabolism studies in water/sediment systems under aerobic and anaerobic incubation conditions (OECD 308). A link with Laura radiochromatography software allows scientists to determine the behaviour of the compound to elucidate the degradation of the applied parent test substance, as well as the formation and decline of possible metabolites all without having to take data outside of the GLP-validated environment.
