Clinical diagnostic laboratories can gain a significant advantage by ensuring their data conforms to FAIR principles - that is, data is easily
findable,
accessible,
interoperable, and
reusable. But many labs don’t recognize the importance of FAIR data or they find that implementing these principles is challenging. At Semaphore, we believe FAIR data sets forward-looking labs apart from their peers, giving them advantages when it comes to collaborating with other organizations and integrating new tools into their existing lab systems.

"Islands" of information and data that are dispersed across an organization irregularly can lead to inefficiencies in workflows and missed opportunities to improve or expand the organization. This statement also holds true for college and university laboratories, who equally must face down issues with untimely data, lackadaisical data security, and ownership-related issues. Zheng
et al. tackle this issue with their data-ownership-based security architecture, presented in this journal article published in
Electronics. After providing an introduction and related work, the authors provide in-depth details of the methodology used to develop their secure lab data management architecture, followed by example cases using four different algorithms to find the most suitable solution for authorized encryption and decryption of shared data across the proposed system., which allows "relevant units, universities, and laboratories to encrypt data with public keys and upload them to the data register center to form a data directory." They conclude "that the proposed strategy is secure and efficient for lab data sharing across [multiple] domains."

Laboratory information management systems (LIMS) are essential for managing data and information in modern laboratories. However, LIMS doesn't work in isolation, it needs to communicate with other systems, such as laboratory instruments, manufacturing and production systems, electronic health records (EHRs), and other software applications. The LabLynx LabVia family of products provides a pathway for LIMS integrations and connectivity, both physical and programming.

If you’re reading this blog post, you’ve already reached the conclusion that you need to simplify your informatics footprint. We know that maintenance of the different systems and instances can grow out of control and be a logistical nightmare. Not to mention the siloed information within those systems that hold your organization back from making the best business decisions. So, consolidation of your laboratory information management system (LIMS) technologies seems like the best solution.

A secure sample collection process is essential for accurate results and maintaining quality control in any lab. Implementing a secure chain of custody features can have a wide range of benefits for laboratories and research institutions. Chains of custody are intended to document the steps that samples are subjected to, and who performed those steps, from the start of a project through the development and reporting of the findings related to that sample.
