The GnosisLIMS Project: Creating an Open Source Next-Generation LIMS

The GnosisLIMS was started be a small cadre of experienced LIMS designers and implementers after years of frustrating temporary successes and near misses. Their vision for GnosisLIMS was an Open Source LIMS framework using web-enabled software tools that are relatively easy to program and administer and that will provide the flexibility for LIMS to evolve gracefully and to interact with other LIMS implementations. Under the Open Source philosophy improvements to the framework would be shared throughout the community.

Developments & Trends in LIMS – A ‘Coming of Age’?

Over the last 10 years, laboratory information management systems (LIMS) have changed beyond recognition. Increased regulatory requirements have meant that much more data is now being recorded; data that must be turned into useful information that is immediately available across the enterprise.

Datastream 7i: 21 CFR 11 Compliance – Features that Meet and Exceed Requirements

In August 1997, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a set of regulations entitled 21 CFR 11 (Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 11). “These regulations, which apply to all FDA program areas, are intended to permit the widest possible use of electronic technology, compatible with the FDA’s responsibility to promote and protect public health.” The regulations set standards for systems containing electronic records and electronic signatures and standards for the use of such systems with respect to the release of safe consumables into the marketplace.
