Depending on your organization’s role in either biotechnology or drug discovery research, Good Laboratory Practices (GLPs) are the minimum standards used for benchmarking the proper conduct of animal safety studies, in a nonclinical environment, applying both in vivo and in vitro testing. GLPs provide a foundation for conducting well-controlled studies that can assure the quality and integrity of any data generated in the laboratory that may be used for future research studies or regulatory submissions. Not only do GLP regulations help ensure the quality of data, but they can also help to form a framework for facilitating study reconstruction when data is found favorable to moving forward with research on a new drug substance or product.

Grouping Tests to Minimize Test Maintenance Admin Overheads in a LIMS. In this case we talk about grouping tests within QC testing for furniture, but this same grouping methodology can be applied to any industry. Analytical testing plays a key role in ensuring the safety of consumer and other products and is therefore vital for both the manufacturers and users of those products. The need for testing is often mandated by governments or regulatory bodies, who may also define the standards that the products must meet. The testing involved may be complex with many different components or parts of the product requiring testing.

Sample management and inventory management are two essential but distinct processes that labs use to stay organized. Most labs make sample management a priority, using a laboratory information management system (LIMS) or other software to simplify the process. However, monitoring and managing consumable inventory is equally important for efficient operations, especially for labs planning to increase throughput or scale up their business. Despite the importance of inventory management, many labs use a piecemeal approach that could be improved with an all-in-one solution.

Data migration, at its core, appears deceptively simple—a process aimed at transferring data from an old system to a new one. When performed well, labs are better positioned to derive more value from their laboratory information management systems (LIMS) and their data. However, LIMS data migration can be quite complex and risky if not executed correctly. Between lost data, data format conversion complexities, data security concerns, and increased costs, LIMS data migration failures can threaten business continuity and push labs past the point of no return.
