Laboratory Information Management System FAQs
What are the main features to assess when considering a new LIMS platform for my laboratory?
Leading LIMS platforms have a broad range of functions and advanced features. The best advice is to work with a vendor-neutral partner with LIMS platform, laboratory process, and technical expertise as an experienced partner will be able to match a solution to your current and future requirements.
Some of the main features to consider when assessing LIMS platforms include sample management capabilities and how the platform allows you to track and manage samples across their lifecycle. Other features to assess include test, instrument, workflow, and data management capabilities, as well as reporting and performance metrics.
The ability to integrate the LIMS platform with your other systems is also important, as is security and scalability.
Will a modern LIMS platform improve laboratory performance?
The simple answer is yes, although the reality lies in how the LIMS platform is implemented, managed, used, and supported. For example, many laboratories only use a percentage of the capabilities that are available because workflows haven't been adjusted and staff haven't been sufficiently trained. Your LIMS platform also needs to be properly configured to match your workflows and laboratory requirements.
Even at a basic level, implementing a modern LIMS platform in your laboratory will improve performance. However, you will maximise ROI by ensuring the implementation is properly managed and users have access to high-quality ongoing support.
Does my laboratory need a LIMS?
Most laboratories, including small laboratories, can benefit from implementing a LIMS platform. A LIMS platform reduces the risk of human error, streamlines processes, and improves productivity. The key is getting a LIMS solution that can be adapted to your requirements. This involves selecting the right LIMS vendor and working with an integration and support partner who can configure and validate the LIMS installation and then provide your team with ongoing support.
