LIMS ( Lab Information Management System )

LIMS ( Lab Information Management System )

By automating lab procedures, a LIMS enables a laboratory to completely eliminate paper use, thereby boosting throughput and ensuring data accuracy. It reduces turnaround times by eliminating manual procedures entirely. A LIMS allows regulatory auditors to swiftly obtain data, minimizes human error, and eliminates the risk of data loss or fraudulent reporting. Additionally, a LIMS prohibits the use of outdated or mis-calibrated equipment for analytical testing, ensuring precision and the quality of test results.

Healthspace Solution understands that unprecedented amounts of data are produced by modern genomics. The management, tracking, and centralization of genomics data requires labs to update their methods in light of rising data volumes, sample throughput, and frequent technological advancements.

Our software can be utilized in a wide range of lab facilities, varying in size and scope, due to its adaptability and the numerous LIMS modules it includes. Continue reading to learn further about LIMS, how it'll benefit you, and which option is appropriate for your lab's requirements.

Here are some examples of how labs have utilized a LIMS to their advantage:

• As soon as the sample enters the lab, it is accounted for.
• Keeping track of samples across their life cycle.
• Managing the processes for quality control (QC) and quality assurance (QA), and recording the data related to such activities.
• Prompt identification of aberrant observed values requires effective management of tests, lab results, and flagging of out-of-specified outcomes.
• Tracking inventory for restocking lab equipment and supplies necessary for conducting tests or producing sample preservation kits. Also, generating custom findings or Certificates of Analysis (CoA).
• Avoiding transcribing errors by automating data transfer through interaction with analytical tools.
• Monitoring the lab environment and logging customer details, non-conforming activities, employee training and competency records, instrument calibration and maintenance, and customer issue resolutions.
• Managing documents, like Standard operating procedures, monitoring their history of revisions, and restricting user access to documents to prevent illegal access.
• Without barcodes, it is challenging to trace samples because each step of the analysis requires manual entry of the sample information. The vital details about a sample, including its source, the time, date, and place of collection, as well as the sample's processing information, can be entered using a LIMS.
