During the first week of August 2022, the Houston Astros played the Red Sox in Fenway Park. Christian Vazquez had been a catcher playing on that field since 2014. On August 1, he found himself playing on the same field but in a different uniform, that of the Astros. He had been traded just as the series was going to start; this change elicited a reaction of “baseball is a business”. Change is one of those things we all have to deal with, and a good approach to it requires constant preparation.

Structured Content Authoring (SCA) is a standardized method where technical content is controlled by pre-defined guidelines. The technical writer marks up the content according to what it semantically represents and agreed guidelines. The writer is not concerned with editing styling or formatting. The idea is to develop discoverable, reusable, adaptable, reconfigurable templates for storing, tagging, standardizing, and translating critical content.

September 14, 2022 Laboratory Informatics Weekly Update Volume 20, Issue 37 In This Issue Featured Content 09/14/2022 - The Growing Importance of Wastewater Surveillance | ApolloLIMSWastewater surveillance is becoming an increasingly important component of human health monitoring. In 1854, wastewater testing in London revealed the source of the city’s cholera outbreak. Nearly a century later, scientists used wastewater as part of the detection and eradication strategy against polio. Over time, pathogen testing of wastewater has expanded from a handful of analytes to a complete compendium of chemistries, microbiology, and most recently, virology.

In this 2022 journal article published in
Separations, Cicaloni
et al. present their finding from applying advanced analysis techniques and statistical survey methods to five different
Cannabis sativa cultivars grown in Italy. After providing an introduction on the chemical characteristics of cannabis, the authors describe their materials and methods used, including solid-phase microextraction and ultra-performance liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry, as well as statistical methods such as partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) and heat mapping with principal component analysis (PCA). After thoroughly presenting their results, the authors discuss their findings, concluding that given the vital importance of understanding the chemical composition of cannabis "for the development of new products for pharmaceutical, medical, and other uses," their results should "provide more information on
C. sativa inflorescences from five different cultivars, which may be useful for further investigations of metabolite applications in scientific research."

Melanitis
et al. present a materials informatics approach applied by the Hellenic Naval Academy in this 2021 paper published in
MATEC Web of Conferences. Their approach resulted in NAVMAT, developed "by integrating materials engineering and informatics under a platform of knowledge management." After providing some background on the topic of materials informatics and the management of research information associated with it, the authors describe their system architecture and key features, along with its potential applications. They conclude by providing six expected outcomes associated with the platform, adding that NAVMAT "aims to optimize naval materials failure analysis management and support decision making in maintenance and repair operations (MRO), materials supply management, and staff training."

Many research and development centers increasingly generate and process massive amounts of data. As such, because of the volume and processing of data, in addition to the advancement of technology, laboratories need to upgrade their laboratory management and technology strategies to improve operations and minimize costs.
Within regulated labs, there has been a significant emphasis on data protection in recent years. Many of the control systems put in place to ensure safety or minimize concerns, however, are not real-time.

Data integrity refers to the overall completeness, accuracy and consistency of data during its entire life cycle. Though seems simple, the whole process of genuinely generating, maintaining & transforming data with completeness and accuracy is a challenging task for any organization. This white paper discusses the issues faced by organizations in achieving data integrity and briefly describes how and what technology can be effectively used to achieve better data integrity.

The history of laboratory informatics began in earnest with the commercialization of instrument data systems and
LIMS software, the latter having the larger impact since it could affect the entire lab’s productivity and benefit the organization it supports. That software found a home in both industrial Research & Development,
Manufacturing, and
Healthcare (clinical laboratories). In each of these situations, LIMS provided a means of organizing and managing testing workflows and streamlining operations.

Automatically recording the Chain of Custody (CoC) for an item is essential when it is necessary to track an item throughout its lifetime. A CoC will, for example record the location of an item, showing where it is now as well as where it has been. A comprehensive CoC, however, must record more than just the location history of an item; for example, it can be important to know who is, and who has been, responsible for an item during its lifetime.
