Data migration can be a
daunting task for laboratories looking to transition to a new
Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS). The process of transferring data from one system to another requires careful planning, execution, and validation to ensure that all data is accurately transferred and accessible in the new system. In this blog post, we will dive into the
data migration for LIMS.

Data entry in laboratories was previously performed using physical notebooks. Not only was this tedious, but it also resulted in errors and inefficiency in operations. With the advent of Electronic Lab Notebook (ELN) software, traditional notebooks became obsolete. While this led to improved efficiency and collaboration, a wide variety of ELNs started appearing on the market, making it difficult for labs to find the right solution. If you are in a similar situation, here’s a comprehensive guide to the different types of electronic lab notebooks available.

Journal articles
In this 2023 article published in the
Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Kapoor
et al. of Virginia Commonwealth University present their approach to managing radiation oncology research data in a FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable) way. The authors focus on the advantages of a knowledge graph-based database combined with ontology-based keyword search, synonym-based term matching, and a variety of visualization tools. After presenting background on the topic, Kapoor
et al. describe their approach using 1,660 patient clinical and dosimetry records, standardize terminologies, data dictionaries, and Semantic Web technologies. They then discussed the results of their mapping efforts, as well as the discovered benefits of a knowledge graph-based solution over a traditional relational database approach. They conclude that their approach "successfully demonstrates the procedures of gathering data from multiple clinical systems and using ontology-based data integration," with the radiation oncology datasets being more FAIR "using open semantic ontology-based formats," which in turn helps "facilitate interoperability and execution of large scientific studies."

Quality control (QC) testing is paramount in ensuring the efficacy and safety of therapeutic biologics. These complex molecules, derived from living organisms, require stringent testing to meet regulatory standards and ensure patient safety. While state-of-the-art molecular methods have been established, many laboratories still rely heavily on animal testing, using protocols developed in the 1970s. In November 2023, the International Council for Harmonisation (ICH) announced the adoption of guidelines encouraging the biopharmaceutical industry to adopt new standards in biologics QC, including next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based assays.
