W10IB Software - Get your HPIB GC/MS ready for Win7/10
Products > Software
The actual situation
With the latest cyber security threats impacting many organisations, IT departments are driving labs to have greater standardisation of Operating System platforms such as Windows 7 or even Windows 10 across all local desktop PC’s. On the other hand an substantial amount of money was invested into state-of-the-art GC/MS systems some years ago. Especially Agilent Technologies 5973A series type of mass spectrometers are sensitve and robust enough to fulfill the requirements of today's routine analysis from the hardware point of view. Unfortunately old style HPIB/GPIB communication links are not supported under modern operating systems and actual revisions of the MSD-ChemStation software. The favored solution is to stay with the out-dated software up to a point where the computer dies or release budget and buy new instruments.
The (intelligent) solution
Use your existing HPIB-type GC/MS instruments for another decade by upgrading the MSD-ChemStation communication layer with the W10IB software package and release the power of modern operating systems into your lab. Depending from your present software/hardware configuration and laboratory infrastructure, multiple setup options are possible, but everything starts with an entry level traget price of about 850.- EUR for the basic license (one instrument/one company). Just another cost effective and unique solution by Intelli Labs.
