ASTM Protocols for Analytical Data Interchange

Abstract

The ASTM E01.25 Subcommittee on Laboratory Analytical Data Interchange Protocols and Information Management develops analytical data interchange protocols (ANDI protocols) to increase laboratory efficiency and productivity by facilitating the integration and use of data from multiple vendors' instruments. Created initially under the auspices of the Analytical Instrument Association (AIA - a trade association for manufacturers of high technology laboratory analytical products and systems used for chemical and biomolecular analysis, now ALSSA), the ANDI protocols for chromatographic data and for mass spectral data have been successfully incorporated into several vendors' products.
