4.001T / 2010

HELMBERG-SCORE™ 4.001T

Here are your new benefits: Due to the HLA nomenclature changes, the Helmberg SCORE™ is now updated with focus on userfriendliness and simplicity. In the new version, 4.001T, an application of new HLA Nomenclature enables instant switching between the old and the new nomenclature any time for each typing. Typing specific preferences for old/new nomenclature are stored, and a master switch is available for each front end to use the old or new nomenclature. This way, you still have the freedom to choose as you like depending on your own needs.

Once you have downloaded the new version, you will find that the new features of the Helmberg SCORE™ have been developed so that the conversion from the old to the new nomenclature will be made as easily as possible for the laboratory staff. The following new benefits are to be found:

 Conversion/teaching tool for information of old/new allele nomenclature.  Linking back and forth between old and new.  Complete list for each locus both for old and new alleles.  Filter functions to select a group of old or new alleles and display the equivalents.  Combined view of frequency status, old /new name, serological equivalent, G-name, P-name.

The software design is integrated with Olerup SSP®, and is to be used with the Olerup SSP® products. Basically, you will find that the new interface remains almost the same as you and your staff, are used to seeing in your daily work.

There is no need for extra education or changes in routines. The new features are simple, and will be learned as the user tries out the options.

Please take a moment to look through the following basics.
