OverviewControl up to 31 ISL ALANready analysers, manage programs and results, and export data directly to a LIMS system with ISL's Automatic Laboratory Analyser Network (ALAN). This innovative, Windows-based software allows you to manage your laboratory like never before, all from one central PC. Constantly monitoring each of the laboratory's ALANready distillation, flash point and cold behavior analysers, the ALAN "command center" can be positioned in the lab next to your instruments or in a separate office up to a nearly a mile (1200 metres) away!
Features
ALAN® provides two options for instrument control: from the central PC, or directly from the analyser itself. Either way, all results automatically upload to the ALAN® network. With this "two way communication," you never have to worry about data loss. If the network connection is disrupted, each ISL analyser locally retains results and automatically uploads saved information once the connection is restored.
