Day-to-day lab operations rely on workflows to manage people, tasks, and systems so that work follows a consistent process every time. Defined workflows help ensure that all the steps are done in the correct order, are free from errors, and meet regulatory requirements.
But, representing lab workflows can be difficult.

From a customer’s order to the final report, laboratory errors can appear at any time in the total testing process. As our in-depth guide “
Improve Laboratory Accuracy and Reporting Quality with a LIMS” explains, you can prevent these types of laboratory errors by digitizing laboratory processes. Many sources of error are human, and it’s only a matter of when, and how often, people make mistakes. Let’s look at how a
laboratory information management system (LIMS) from LabLynx reduces human error by automating manual activity throughout the total testing process.

An effective data migration plan ensures your data is accurate and thorough during the critical transfer phase from the source platform to the destination platform. Once your team is assembled, it is crucial that they focus first on mapping, selecting, preparing, extracting, transforming, and transferring to the new system data that’s of the proper form and quality.

Does your LabWare implementation connect to external applications, such as SAP, another LIMS solution, or an external database? Are there multiple interfaces between LabWare and those external applications? If so, your
LabWare implementation will greatly benefit from the Message Engine Template, as it is LabWare’s standardized and validated way to connect with external systems. In this post, we’ll learn about how LabWare’s Message Engine works...

Following up on
2021 research on heavy metal contaminants in the South African cannabis market, Viviers
et al. similarly describe solvent residue contaminant found in the same market in this 2022 paper published in
Journal of Cannabis Research. Noting a dearth of such research in the South African market, the authors acquired 279 samples and had them analyzed in duplicate for a specific set of Class 1–3 solvents. The authors turned to headspace gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (HS-GC-MS) analysis , the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) <467>, and the International Council for Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH) Q3C to guide their analyses. After a brief discussion of materials and methods, the authors present their results and conclusions. They found among its analyzed 279 samples, "a total of 111 samples had at least one solvent analyte that failed the
USP and ICH specification limit (37% failure rate)," with the failure rate increasing 2% for summed solvent concentrations. They conclude that "when assessing solvent residues present in samples against a set of pharmacopeial safety limits, it is evident that a large fraction of cannabis-based products in South Africa exceeds these limits."

Errors may appear at any point in the laboratory workflow, from sample preparation and test setup to instrument calibration and report creation. Inaccuracies lengthen turnaround times, reduce efficiency, and potentially lead customers to poor decisions based on incorrect or missing data. Using a laboratory information management system (LIMS) to constrain sources of pre-analytical, analytical, and post-analytical errors offers benefits beyond just improving test accuracy.

I love the work of change management because it is messy, unpredictable, and deeply personal. Humans, when taken individually, are complex and full of surprises. But aggregate the expected behavior of 10, 50, or even 10,000 humans and the possible outcomes are practically limitless. I have yet to experience a boring day on a change management project and I don’t expect to live through one any time soon.

Data integrity, an area of increasing priority in today’s laboratory world and “The focus area” when it comes to regulatory compliance such as 21 CFR Part 11 and Eudralex Annex 11. Considering the number of warning letters from US FDA and other such regulatory bodies issued to pharmaceutical and medical devices manufacturers across the globe, Data integrity is the “Buzz word” in today’s audit.
