Import results from instruments and spreadsheets
Bring in results through files in supported formats and link the data to the matching analyses. Compatibility with the model, the file and the method used must be confirmed before implementation. The current version does not offer direct real-time serial capture.
What you'll find in this area
Supported file formats
Instrument results come in by file (CSV, TXT, XLS, XLSX, ASTM, HL7, XML, JSON or fixed-width text), through a local agent that watches a folder, by manual upload or by webhook. Each instrument is configured and tested with the laboratory.
Local agent, manual upload or webhook
The file can arrive through an agent installed at the laboratory that watches a folder, by manual upload or by webhook.
Result linked to the analysis
Each line of the file is linked to the matching sample and analysis, according to the configured mapping.
Setup and testing per instrument
The ready-made import profiles are generic. Each instrument is configured and tested with the laboratory before it goes into the routine.
Readings entered by the team
When the reading is entered on the analysis screen, the calculation follows the laboratory's method spreadsheet.
Instrument recorded on the result
The source instrument is recorded, which helps review results when an instrument has a problem.
Before importing in the routine
Import by file depends on the instrument, the file it produces and the method.
Confirm the exported file
Bring a real file from the instrument to the demo or to the initial assessment.
Define the mapping
Columns, units and sample identification are mapped to the system's analyses.
Test with the laboratory
Each instrument is tested with the laboratory before it goes into the routine.
Frequently asked questions
How do results get into the system?
By file, in the supported formats, or entered by the team on the analysis screen, depending on the flow available for each method. Instrument results come in by file (CSV, TXT, XLS, XLSX, ASTM, HL7, XML, JSON or fixed-width text), through a local agent that watches a folder, by manual upload or by webhook. Each instrument is configured and tested with the laboratory.
Does the system read the instrument in real time, over the serial port?
No. Continuous serial capture is not available in the current version. The needs of each instrument are assessed during the initial assessment.
Is there a ready-made reader for my instrument model?
The ready-made import profiles are generic, with no reader specific to a manufacturer or model. Compatibility with the model, the file and the method must be confirmed before implementation.
Does the system keep which instrument produced each result?
Yes. The source instrument is recorded on the result.
