Data Innovations adds functionality to middleware

Data Innovations has released version 8.13 of its Instrument Manager middleware product. This latest release features updates to specimen management, as well as user-security enhancements. 

Within the specimen-management workspace, users can create filters for entering search criteria to quickly and easily find groups or specific specimens matching the conditions.

Enhancements to user security include reauthentication and automatic log-off. The reauthentication option allows the system to be configured to require users to re-enter their password before Instrument Manager will perform certain actions. The automatic log-off option is designed to automatically disconnect a user after a predefined period of inactivity.
