If you are running a busy lab, there are many benefits to a digital sample management solution. Biobanking refers to collecting, storing, and managing biological samples. It also involves the systematic storage and organisation of various types of biological materials, such as tissues, cells, DNA, blood, and body fluids, along with associated data.

Blood banks have been an essential part of our country’s healthcare system since the first one was established in Chicago in 1937. Since then, blood banks have helped save thousands of lives by ensuring communities are covered in the event of disasters and patients in need of blood have fast and safe access. In this article, we’ll explore how today’s cloud-based blood bank management systems are improving workflows to ensure better tracking with safe and accurate blood products.

Regulatory compliance, such as adherence to
21 CFR Part 11 compliance, is of utmost importance for companies operating in regulated industries. The US Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) is renowned for its rigorous and unwavering stance on manufacturing standards. One prominent aspect of regulatory compliance is
21 CFR Part 11, which specifically applies to electronic records and signatures used in FDA-regulated industries.

Pharma products are produced under strictly controlled conditions. Processing areas must be free from contamination. Microbial data collection and analysis play a critical role in ensuring the quality of such conditions. This data comes from samples of surfaces, air, water, and personnel in a clean space. Environmental monitoring (EM) is a process that helps monitor sterile and non-sterile drug products. EM provides data on the quality of the environment during batch manufacturing.

Journal articles
In this 2023 journal article published in the
Journal of Chemical Information and Modeling, Boobier
et al. of University of Nottingham discuss their free, open-source electronic laboratory notebook (ELN) for green and sustainable chemistry practice, AI4Green. The authors state their ELN also "automatically presents the hazards and sustainability of an inputted reaction by calculating sustainability metrics and a color-coded assessment of solvents and reaction conditions." After briefly discussing how it's implemented, the authors discuss the various functions of AI4Green, including its support for workgroups, workbooks, user roles, reaction building, reaction sketching, reaction analysis, exporting, and add-on functionality, such as the Solvent Guide. The authors also discuss how feedback was used during application development. They conclude that AI4Green "combines the practical benefits of an ELN alongside a framework for encouraging green and sustainable chemistry," though more work is to be done to extend its functionality. Regardless, even as-is, "AI4Green provides an exciting initial framework to unite an ELN with sustainable chemistry."

Every lab manager knows that good data is essential for advancing science — whether it’s to track trends, confirm or disprove hypotheses, or compare results across experiments. But what’s the best way to ensure decisions are based on good data in your lab environment? Modern clinical diagnostic labs generate a wealth of valuable data through the use of numerous tools and applications. All this data can end up stored in multiple locations or silos, including the laboratory information management system (LIMS).

While there are approximately 200 used oil analysis laboratories (sometimes called “oil condition monitoring” (OCM) labs) in North America alone, with the industry expected to grow to $1.4B by 2026, some believe used oil analysis may be one of those things we never see again, like eight-track tapes and disposable cameras. With the advancement of sensor technology, electrification replacing internal combustion engines, and the trend for in-house oil analysis laboratories, the market may diminish for the traditional, large, commercial OCMs.

Therapeutic antibodies are now the predominant class of new drugs. Advancing safe, effective antibodies to the clinic requires narrowing a pool of thousands of candidates using high-throughput microplate-based assays. Designing plate aps for these assays using Excel or outdated digital tools is a time-consuming task prone to error, slowing the screening process and leading to critical errors in data analysis. Using LIMSense, a modern LIMS from AduroSys, can improve data quality, reduce costs, and ensure the most effective antibodies reach patients.
