Implementing a new LIMS can be a huge challenge. There are so many aspects to consider and moving parts to manage that LIMS implementations can and sometimes do fail.

CloudLIMS announced that it has bagged the prestigious “Employer of Choice”, HR Tech Leader award 2016 for its excellence in HR practices and fostering a culture that practices work life balance and attracts the best talent.

Forensic scientists whose efficiency is thwarted by decentralized case files and complex analysis now have access to a new platform designed to help them streamline the management of casework data. Thermo Fisher Scientific’s Applied Biosystems Converge Software is a one-of-a-kind integrated system designed to centralize all forensic, paternity and kinship data under one powerful solution.

IDBS today unveiled E‑WorkBook Inventory, a new module for streamlining lab inventory management. The off-the-shelf tool enables E‑WorkBook users to garner a clear, real-time picture of lab stock, so that they can better manage resources, saving cash and time, as well as boosting compliance and safety.

QuaLIS Inventory is a web based Inventory management system designed based on guidelines for GLP and FDA. Designed to meet the regulated laboratory handling a wide range of Inventory materials used in regulated labs. Items including but not limited to standards like reference material, primary standards, working standards, reagents (solid/Liquid) consumable etc.

In many laboratory environments it is essential to ensure that staff are trained to use specific instruments and/or to conduct specific tests before the work is scheduled. Competency Tracker is a module that integrates seamlessly into the Matrix Gemini LIMS (Laboratory Information Management System) from Autoscribe Informatics to allow monitoring of the training status and needs of staff

Many laboratory directors from different disciplines have asked this one question regarding LIMS: “Should we buy a LIMS or build our own?” In the early 90s and into the mid-2000s, it was not uncommon for a laboratory to create their own LIMS from scratch rather than using the commercially available options. Upon occasion, those laboratories would purchase an open source code LIMS and then hire programmers to make that LIMS their own.
