Case Study: BIOVIA Experiment as a Service (EaaS)
A multinational oil and gas company was utilizing BIOVIA Experiment software to support the day-to-day operations of scientists running experiments in the company’s chemical operations division. These experiments were being conducted in three different laboratory locations worldwide, one of which had four servers on-premise that were being used to house the BIOVIA application and data center.
What is Data Provenance & Why is it Important in the Clinical Diagnostics Space?
Data in laboratories is often produced by separate information systems, which can make it difficult to trace. When the systems aren’t connected, it can be even more challenging to maintain the data’s chain of custody and the metadata records.
The result? Stakeholders can’t generate a report that describes exactly what happened to a sample. Learn more about why clinical laboratories should care about data provenance within software. [Read More]

In this mini review published in Frontiers in Water, Carriço and Ferreira draw from their personal experiences in the Portuguese water industry to present a case for better data and information management in assessing the condition of existing urban water infrastructure. The authors turn to a collection of 16 performance indicators for assessing water supply systems (WSS) or district metering areas (DMA), as well as the poor state of data management overall in water utilities, as a an impetus for improving the information systems that handle those indicators and related data. They further explain the data requirements for condition assessment of water utility assets, the importance of data integration and interoperability, and the existing barriers to getting those things correct. They close by suggesting future trends, noting however that "many small and medium size utilities worldwide are yet resistant" to such trends, while recommending that "utilities should start to investigate the data they collect and to rethink existing data models."
Case Study: Sourcing a Highly Specialized LIMS Resource for a Major Biopharma Company
A major research-based biopharmaceutical company was working with a commercial LIMS vendor to implement a LIMS for the Biometrics department. Both the biopharmaceutical company and the LIMS vendor had project teams which interfaced closely to move the project forward.

This mini review article published in the journal Frontiers in Digital Health outlines the field of "diagnostic informatics," one that uses "digital health tools to facilitate the accuracy and timeliness of health information transfer and enhance the effectiveness of the decision-making processes." Georgiou et al. focus on three primary aspects of diagnostic informatics: diagnostic errors and associated research, safety and efficacy of test result and follow-up management, and the enhancement of clinical decision support systems. The authors succinctly discuss these three aspects and then provide brief discussion about their findings. They close by noting that for the digital health tools of diagnostic informatics to prove most useful, they must consider the importance of patient-centered care, existing diagnostic processes in use, and of course the critical organizational communication processes in use.
What is a LIMS and Why Should You Invest in One?
A LIMS is a software-based solution that supports productivity and efficiency in modern labs in research and development, analytical research, quality assurance, quality control, technical services, manufacturing, contract research and other environments, across a wide range of industries.

COVID-19 Diagnostic Testing — Moving to the Point-of-Care: Part 2 in a Series
In our Part 1 of this blog series, we discussed the changes we are anticipating in the centralized testing model for COVID-19. There are some changes in store for the COVID-19 diagnostics market driven by the increase in the number of recent authorizations by the FDA for point-of-care (and point of need) testing.
