Key Benefits
Faster study turnaround
Our automatic colony counter (Sorcerer) gives you immediate, reliable results. Study templates allow you to save frequently-used study designs, so you don’t need to worry about re-configuring, re-typing or re-entering setup information. Data collection is integrated with the system and as soon as data is collected, it can be reported. There are no transcription steps or file transfers. Reports are created automatically and can include data tables, graphs and statistics. Historical control ranges are created instantly.
Increased data traceability
Ames Study Manager has been designed with reference to the OECD and S2(R1) guidelines, so the workflow should be familiar to you. In this fully compliant system, the creation, editing and deletion of data is recorded within an audit trail. Original data are never obscured; where a data change is made, the old and new values are visible along with any reasons given for the change.
Configured for you
Ames Study Manager offers complete flexibility, allowing you to choose the number of studies, experiments, strains, treatment groups etc. In addition, your control groups can be shared between experiments, should you wish. The system supports an unlimited number of dose levels, which can be assigned different metabolic activation in the same experiment, if required. However you’re conducting the OECD Ames test, we are confident that Ames Study Manager can be configured to your experimental set-up.
