In this 2022 journal article published in Applied Sciences, Mustapää et al. turn to the calibration process of the pharmaceutical industry—as well as their regulatory- and standards-based requirements—as inspiration for building a proof-of-concept software platform that better ensures "the preservation of traceability and data integrity" of calibration data. After a lengthy and thorough background to the topic of laboratory calibrations and calibration data management, the authors present their proof of concept software platform, designed "to harmonize the data exchange between the parties of a calibration chain to enable automation of the data management processes in the receiving end." They then discuss the results of their efforts, challenges in advancing such metrology infrastructure, and topics that require further research. They conclude that the real use cases tested on their proof of concept "proved that the multitenant platform is an efficient means of organizing the exchange of [digital calibration certificates]," and that "the system would suit the requirements of other industries as well, providing cost-efficiency through economies of scale."

LIMS – 10 key features to boost your lab
In our new four-part blog series, we explore why you should implement a laboratory information management system (LIMS) in your lab, what factors you need to consider in the selection process, and how to plan your implementation.
Implementing a LIMS in your lab can be hugely beneficial to your workflow, helping track, store, and analyze the data generated by every process. Beyond data, it can also help you manage your lab processes efficiently, enabling greater productivity. But there are many LIMS solutions available, and with so many capabilities on offer, it can be daunting to figure out what your lab needs to thrive. [Read More]

Decentralized Clinical Trials: Measuring the Impact and Gaining Adoption
The drive to establish capabilities cannot come at the expense of measuring meaningful impact. Establishing criteria for success will help guide sponsors in selecting the appropriate decentralized clinical trials (DCT) elements for a given trial to best meet goals for patient recruitment, diversity, and retention, along with the site and sponsor benefits. As sponsors carefully consider different DCT elements and as the industry progresses through to the point of increasing adoption, it’s important to measure both short and long-term value and to determine how to best interpret that value for future decision-making.
