Laboratory management
system
A laboratory information management system (LIMS), sometimes
referred to as a laboratory information system (LIS) or laboratory management
system (LMS), is a software-based solution with features that support a modern
laboratory's operations. Key features include—but are not limited to—workflow
and data tracking support, flexible architecture, and data exchange interfaces,
which fully "support its use in regulated environments". The features
and uses of a LIMS have evolved over the years from simple sample tracking to
an enterprise resource planning tool that manages multiple aspects of
laboratory informatics. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laboratory_information_management_system]
Key Benefits of a
LIMS
Although the primary purpose of a LIMS is to track and
manage samples, it can do so much more. It can:
·
Enable workflow automation which can in turn
reduce human error
·
Centralize access and storage of quality control
data
·
Support compliance efforts
·
Track reagents and lots
·
Perform instrument run monitoring
·
Initiate downstream data analysis
·
Integrate with instruments or other in-lab
systems to improve lab efficiency
