Adding a LIMS can save your lab time and money. Two of the biggest time drains in the laboratory are workflow inefficiency and disorganization. If your lab team is constantly hunting for paper records, scrolling through spreadsheets, or manually transcribing data, it takes away time from performing more tests or taking on additional business with a new customer.

Laboratory informatics is the use of information technology to support a lab’s testing mission, which goes beyond data management to support all aspects of lab operations. Implementing an informatics solution helps laboratories adapt and enables benefits such as lab management, productivity, quality control, process improvement, data integrity, security and privacy, industry and regulatory compliance, and customer service.

In this 2023 paper published in the
Journal of Cannabis Research, Johnson
et al. examine the current state of hemp-derived delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ
9-THC) products on the U.S. market after the passage of the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018. Noting discrepancies and loopholes in the legislation, the authors performed laboratory analyses on 53 hemp-derived Δ
9-THC products from 48 brands, while also examining aspects such as age verification, labeling consistency, and comparison of reported company values vs. analyzed values. After describing their methodology and results, the authors conclude that "the legal status of hemp-derived Δ
9-THC products in America essentially permits their open sale while placing very few requirements on the companies selling them." The end result includes finding, for example, products "that have 3.7 times the THC content of edibles in adult-use states," as well as inaccurately labeled products.

"Artificial intelligence" (AI) may seem like a buzzword akin to the "nanotechnology" craze of the 2000s, but it is inevitably finding its way into scientific applications, including in the materials sciences. In this December 2022 article published in
npj Computational Materials, Sbailò
et al. present their AI-driven Novel Materials Discovery (NOMAD) toolkit as an extension of their NOMAD Repository & Archive, focused on making materials science data FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable), as well as AI-ready. After introducing the details of their workspace and goals towards adding notebook-based tools to the NOMAD Repository & Archive, the authors dive into the details of NOMAD AI Toolkit. They close by noting their toolkit "offers a selection of notebooks demonstrating such [AI-based] workflows, so that users can understand step by step what was done in publications and readily modify and adapt the workflows to their own needs." They add that the system "will allow for enhanced reproducibility of data-driven materials science papers and dampen the learning curve for newcomers to the field."

While ISO 17025 accreditation can be achieved using manual, paper-based processes and documentation, it is extremely time consuming. It can be difficult to locate specific data, SOPs, instrument calibration histories, staff qualifications, certifications, or other necessary documents or files, and doubly so under the pressure of ISO audits – all while trying to maintain regular daily operations and meet TAT deadlines. That's where LIMS technology can make a real difference.
