The fictional pirate Captain Jack Sparrow once said,
“Wherever we want to go, we go. That’s what a ship is, you know. It’s not just a keel and a hull and a deck and sails. That’s what a ship needs. But what a ship is…what the Black Pearl
really is…is freedom.” Similar sentiments can be expressed about LIMS. A LIMS is not just a piece of software with features, functions, specifications, and tests.

FDA warning letters issued between January and May 2024 continue to highlight the issue of ensuring data integrity within laboratories. Managing laboratory data in a way that demonstrates it is not altered, or manipulated, remains a keen concern, especially with electronic records, files, and databases. Many instruments include an audit trail within their own database that captures changes to the data but how do you ensure that a ‘super-admin’ cannot go in the backend and manipulate that data.
