Processes, Frede
et al. of TU Dortmund University work with analytical consultancy d-fine GmbH to demonstrate experimental workflows of a microscale reaction calorimeter over d-fine's open-source internet of things (IoT) software platform. Their goal: provide an example of how data collection and capture methods can and should be standardized across an automated laboratory. After a brief introduction, the authors present their materials and methods, along with a case study of hydrolysis of acetic anhydride. After presenting the results of their case study, they conclude that "[t]he modular data platform complements the reaction calorimeter very well with additional functionalities," and by adding even more instruments, "[t]his approach will further harmonize data management within our laboratory while better applying FAIR Guiding Principles."

According to Merriam-Webster, efficiency is defined as “effective operation as measured by a comparison of production with cost (as in energy, time, and money).” Thus, efficiency gains save time, money, and resources, and are the crux of the adage “work smarter, not harder.” With increases in efficiency, come increases in productivity, leading to more rapid turnaround of actionable scientific results or clinical diagnoses.

There are many benefits of implementing an end-to-end Regulatory Information Management (RIM) system including the impact on regulatory compliance, speed to market, and revenue. A robust RIM solution can optimize collaboration and streamline processes driving higher quality work, faster. However, to reap these benefits, organizations need to ensure they have a strategy in place as they embark on this journey.

Advanced stability management plays a crucial role in LIMS by ensuring product quality and safety. Companies in industries such as food and beverage and pharmaceuticals must conduct thorough stability studies to determine the shelf life and optimal storage conditions of their products. However, managing these studies can be a complex and time-consuming process, requiring a high level of organization and attention to detail.

In this 2023 paper published in the journal
Frontiers in Plant Science, Fernández
et al. propose that
Cannabis should be characterized "according to its chemical composition (i.e., its metabolome) and not only its botanical traits," while conducting a series of experiments to back their claim. After an introduction to cannabis and its chemical characterization, the authors describe the materials, methods, and results of their experimentation using metabolomics on high-THCA and high-CBDA
C. sativa chemovars with medicinal potential. They conclude that many "differences between the two varieties beyond their cannabinoid composition" could be found through this experimentation, and that these differences could be "instrumental to breeders in the development of plant varieties agronomically adapted to specific environmental conditions." They also noted that fungal infections changed the metabolome of tested plants, which can better aid in the "classification of healthy and diseased plants."

Off-the-shelf applications seem like easy, low-cost ways to replace laboratory paperwork, if you’re willing to accept their limitations. Rather than trying to meet your lab’s unique needs with a generic laboratory information management system, adopt a tailored LabLynx LIMS software solution that offers user-controlled configuration combined with extensions, integrations, and customizations.
