Many laboratories face this same issue. A dated, legacy LIMS exist. It lacks needed capabilities. It cannot be remotely accessed. No client portal exists. It does not integrate with all of the newer instruments. It cannot produce new, needed reports. It cannot effectively update QC reports. Its query functions are extremely limited. It is failing under the higher workload. It cannot operate on the “new” computers. Yet, it, that old LIMS, is vital to the day to day operation of the laboratory. “If we could just get by this one more year… We’ll replace it next year!” And that has been said for five years straight.

et al. of the University of South Australia and James Cook University needed a system that provides data management functionality for the specific needs of a public health research organization, including data sharing and reuse. They needed a system that would "ensure that: data that are unmanaged be managed, data that are disconnected be connected, data that are invisible be findable, [and] data that are single use be reusable, within a structured collection." In this journal article, the group documents the development of their answer: the Public Health Data Management System (PHRDMS).

Modern specialty diagnostic laboratories need an integrated LIMS that can handle molecular diagnostics, cytology, histopathology, NGS, FLOW, biochemistry, genetic cytology (Cyto / FISH)and microbiology related processes in a single system. Advanced detection of mutations, abnormalities in cells, chromosomes, karyotypes, DNA, gene, enzymes studies and biomarkers are very helpful in identification of potential source of disease and better patient care.

In almost every laboratory, a group of standard queries are developed within the LIMS. This prearranged group of queries covers 80-90% of the queries most laboratories and analysts will ever need. It is that “other” 10-20% of unique queries that can and will be the sticking point. It is often the lack of quick, customizable queries that can trip up productivity or limit quality control checks. Khemia’s Omega 11 offers an ad hoc query writer to overcome this.
