In the process of investigating LIMS, one question that always arises is this “Does your LIMS support notifications?” Clearly prompt awareness by the right people of key events in the processing of laboratory workflow is a vital element in improved performance metrics, primarily turn-around time. Unnecessary and sometimes costly delays are a constant hazard when communication depends upon a manual process. Fortunately in today’s marketplace of mature LIMS, the answer will inevitably be “Yes.” However, as with most LIMS features, there is a world of significant detail hidden in that seemingly simple question and answer.
