Answer

Oftentimes MultiQuant™ software results table data needs to be exported and then interfaced with a LIMS system. This article explains how to indirectly transfer data from results tables created in MultiQuant software to a LIMS system via a report template. The report template creates an output file in CSV format that can then be interfaced with a LIMS system. 

To create a report in MultiQuant™ software using the LIMS template (attached), follow these steps:

• Save the LIMS template to C:\ProgramData\AB SCIEX\MultiQuant\Reporter.
• Ensure that the correct version of Microsoft Office is installed for the version of MultiQuant software used. (Review the installation guide for the software to confirm this.)
• Generate the CSV file by selecting the LIMS template in the Create Report dialog in MultiQuant software (see image below). Select CSV as the output format.
• Save the CSV report output to a designated LIMS folder, where the LIMS system can access the exported results table information. Select OK and a LIMS-compatible report will be generated.
• If the LIMS report needs to be customized, please contact tech support.
