The Graham StarTox™ Suite of Software

The Graham StarTox™ Suite of software for toxicology and pathology laboratories was developed by Roger S. Graham of Graham Laboratories with collaboration by the principals of Druquest.  Following the death of Mr. Graham, Druquest is continuing the development, marketing and maintenance of this remarkable software.

The Graham StarTox™ Suite is comprised of StarTox™, StarLife™, NecStar™ and Starpath™, systems.  These database programs are used to collect data from preclinical toxicology studies and produce detailed as well as summary reports.  StarTox™ is the administrative unit, StarLife™ collects in-life observations, including body weights, NecStar™ records necropsy data and StarPath™ records histopathology observations. An add-on slide labeling module is available as well as bespoke clinical pathology software (Clinstar™).

The StarTox suite operates on PCs running Windows XP professional operating system.  The software is written in Visual Basic 6.0 using Microsoft Access as the data base.  A separate license for Microsoft Access 2003 or 2007 is required.  StarTox will run on a standalone PC or on multimple PCs accessing a network database.

The first module, StarPath™, was originally developed in 1983, by Toad Hall Systems, Inc. (now reorganized as Druquest International).   It was developed in Dartmouth Basic language running on a CP/M operating system.  Graham laboratories in collaboration with Druquest continued development of StarPath™ on IBM compatible PCs with the MS- DOS operating system.  Starpath was rewritten in Microsoft QuickBasic and the first DOS system was released in 1985.  Since that time the system has been continuously upgraded and a Windows version was released in 2002.  During its development history, the system has been in use by more than 20 laboratories.  It has survived the test of time and service.
