Abstract

A system for mitigating instrumentation differences in laboratory instruments includes one or more groups of laboratory instruments in communication with a normalization server over a network. Each group of instruments communicates output data to the normalization server which then presents normalized data to the groups of laboratory instruments. Various exemplary embodiments of the system and associated methods are provided.

Claims (4)

1. A system for normalizing groups of laboratory instruments, the system comprising:

one or more groups of laboratory instruments; and

a normalization server in communication with the groups of laboratory instrument,

wherein the groups of laboratory instruments comprise a laboratory information system coupled to individual laboratory instruments and in communication with the normalization server and wherein the groups of laboratory instruments send data indicative of outputs to the normalization system, and wherein the normalization system outputs normalized outputs to the groups of laboratory intruments.
