Learn the Do's and Don'ts of Waters Empower 3 implementation to ensure successful implementation, deployment, and validation.The need for informatics to support forensic pathology and death investigation
Forensic science researcher Bruce Levy of the University of Illinois at Chicago presents his ideas about how forensic pathologists and clinical informaticians can address the historical and current shortcomings of putting sudden and violent death data to better use. Levy argues that improved collaborations and data standards "will enable forensic pathology to maximize its effectiveness by providing timely and actionable information to public health and public safety agencies."2016 Edition of the Complete Guide to LIMS & Laboratory Informatics released and ready for download

Nanomedicine researchers at the University of Southern Denmark required a "dedicated LIMS for the management of large vector construct and cell line libraries." With no other open-source options available, the team developed their own, OpenLabFramework. Documenting their process, List et al. conclude "OLF can be deployed using different database management systems either locally, to a server, or to the cloud," and "[t]he incorporation of modern technologies, such as mobile devices and printing of barcode labels may increase productivity even further."

In this research paper, Nguyen et al. of Monash University in Australia "describes the design, implementation and operation of a multi-modality research imaging data management system that manages imaging data obtained from biomedical imaging scanners" at their facility. Faced with limitations of existing image management software and frameworks, the group custom built a system "based on DaRIS and XNAT has been designed and implemented to enable researchers to acquire, manage and analyse large, longitudinal biomedical imaging datasets."
Djeen (Database for Joomla!’s Extensible Engine): A research information management system for flexible multi-technology project administration
Stahl et al. and Universités de Montpellier needed a system that could "streamline [biological] data storage and annotation collaboratively." Not finding a system to their liking, the group developed a Joomla!-based LIMS called Djeen and published their research on the development process in 2013. The group concludes: "Djeen allows managing project associated with heterogeneous data types while enforcing annotation integrity and minimum information. Projects are managed within a hierarchy and user permissions are finely-grained for each project, user and group."
