Sherlock Microbial Identification System Software Version 6.0B Now Supports Agilent 32-bit Chemstation Versions B.02.0x or Higher 

The Sherlock software and libraries are used worldwide for automated microbial identification in clinical, environmental and biodefense laboratories.  This software can be used to analyze both microbial fatty acid data from Agilent's Gas Chromatographs (GC) and DNA Sequence data from any DNA sequencer manufacture. 

The Sherlock Software includes programs for the operation of the GC, automatic calibration and peak naming, data storage, and comparison of the unknown fatty acid profile to one or more of our validated libraries
using Sherlock's pattern recognition algorithms. 

Sherlock DNA is new in Sherlock 6.0 and allows the user to input unknown
16S & 28S rRNA microbial consensus sequence data into the Sherlock Software for comparison to our validated DNA libraries, phylogenetic and neighbor-joining tree analysis, library creation and the industry's first DNA / fatty acid combined report.  Any DNA Sequencer brand can be used.

Sherlock 6.0 (Specification Sheet) has many microbial
identification capabilities including the following:
            
              Automated Identification of bacteria, yeast and fungi
                       by Fatty Acid and DNA Sequencing analysis
              
                  Combined Fatty Acid / DNA Sequence reports
              
              Automated strain tracking (using Cluster & Tracker)

While the Base Sherlock Software 6.0 now includes Data Export, Analysis and the Rapid Aerobic Bacteria Library, additional packages are available for your own customized needs. 

Sherlock Base Software Package
Data Export, Analysis and Rapid Aerobe Library
  
Sherlock Clinical Package
Base package + Standard/Sensi Anaerobe Library

Sherlock Biodefense Package
Clinical package + Rapid Bioter Library + Strain Tracking Software
  
Sherlock Industrial/Environmental Package
