How to Develop an Effective Data Governance Strategy in the Pharma and Biotech Industry – Part 1 More so than with other industries, developing an effective data governance strategy is critical for Pharma and biotech companies. It’s imperative that data is accurate, complete, reusable, and secure. Without proper governance, compliance could be at risk with agency regulations and data quality, accuracy, user access, reuse, and reliability may be jeopardized, and this could impact the organization’s data-driven decisions across drug development, clinical operations, and commercial.

Laboratory Informatics Systems Help Eliminate Data Entry Errors While data entry is a normal part of laboratory work, how you do it matters in terms of overall operational performance. Labs may begin with manual data entry, but they will quickly discover that the cost of that process is going to be excessive in the long run. This is another example where automation using systems like an electronic laboratory notebook (ELN) or a LIMS, like LabLynx’s ELab LIMS, can streamline lab operations, reduce overall operating costs, and better use people's skills and capabilities.

Why is Digital Environmental Monitoring Important for Pharma Labs Pharma products are produced under strictly controlled conditions. Processing areas must be free from contamination. Microbial data collection and analysis play a critical role in ensuring the quality of such conditions. This data comes from samples of surfaces, air, water, and personnel in a clean space. Environmental monitoring (EM) is a process that helps monitor sterile and non-sterile drug products. EM provides data on the quality of the environment during batch manufacturing. [Read More]
What Is LIMS? Everything You Need to Know A Laboratory Information Management System, otherwise known as LIMS, is a comprehensive, software-based solution to maximize a laboratory’s efficiencies through centralized workflow. From specimen preparation to final report release, a LIMS is designed to simplify a lab’s day-to-day operations while reducing the risk of mistakes through paperless operations. [Read More]
