Therapeutic antibodies are a revolutionary drug class that can treat a wide range of diseases. Secondary screens characterize the functional properties of candidate antibodies, narrowing the pool to those most likely to succeed in clinical trials. The wide range of micro-plate based assays that can test hundreds of variables at once requires accurate and complex plate maps that capture a variety of plate re-array options. Using
LIMSense™, a modern LIMS from AduroSys, can ensure you keep track of all of your samples and identify the best antibodies for further development.

In this 2023 paper published in the journal
Scientific Data, Ghiringhelli
et al. present the results of an international workshop of materials scientists who came together to discuss metadata and data formats as they relate to data sharing in materials science. With a focus on the FAIR principles (findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable), the authors introduce the concept of materials science data management needs, and the value of metadata towards making shareable data FAIR. They then go into specific use cases, such as electronic-structure calculations, potential-energy sampling, and managing metadata for computational workflows. They also address the nuances of file formats and metadata schemas as they relate to those file formats. They clise with an outlook on the use of ontologies in materials science, followed by conclusions, with a heavy emphasis on "the importance of developing a hierarchical and modular metadata schema in order to represent the complexity of materials science data and allow for access, reproduction, and repurposing of data, from single-structure calculations to complex workflows." They add: "the biggest benefit of meeting the interoperability challenge will be to allow for routine comparisons between computational evaluations and experimental observations."

There comes a point in every lab where data gets scattered across paper files, spreadsheets, and a patchwork of laboratory systems. Manual processes can’t keep up with rising demand. Ultimately, customer satisfaction plummets with profound implications for the lab. All these challenges stem from the way labs manage information. If these 28 signs of laboratory information management challenges look familiar, your lab is ready for a LIMS.

In today’s corporate landscape, Learning Management Systems (LMS) play a pivotal role in delivering, tracking, and managing training programs. The LMS supports an organization’s overall regulatory compliance by tracking the needed certifications of all employees and ensuring that records are centralized. Ensuring the dependability, security, accessibility, and adherence to regulations of an LMS is crucial for regulated businesses, and shouldn’t be neglected. This blog post explores the significance of validating LMS software, given various hypothetical use cases.

Laboratory information management system (LIMS) licenses are expensive, and when you work in a distributed organization with a central lab and many collection points, it isn’t feasible to provide all potential submitters with their own LIMS license. We’re here to tell you that there is an easier way. It is possible, and even easy, to submit samples for testing without a LIMS license using SampleVision.

Therapeutic antibodies are
now the predominant class of new drugs. Advancing safe, effective antibodies to the clinic requires narrowing a pool of thousands of candidates using igh-throughput microplate-based assays. Designing plate maps for these assays using Excel or outdated digital tools is a time-consuming task prone to error, slowing the screening process and leading to critical errors in data analysis. Using LIMSense, a modern LIMS from AduroSys, can improve data quality, reduce costs, and ensure the most effective antibodies reach patients.

In this 2023 journal article published in
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, Jadhav
et al. recommend a more comprehensive approach to analyzing the
Cannabis plant, its extracts, and its constituents, turning to the still-evolving concept of authentomics—"which involves combining the non-targeted analysis of new samples with big data comparisons to authenticated historic datasets"—of the food industry as a paradigm worth shifting towards. After an introduction on metabolomics and a review of its various technologies, the authors examine the current state of cannabis laboratory testing, how its regulated and standardized, and a variety of issues that make cannabis testing less consistent, as well as how cannabis can become adulterated in the grow chain. They then discuss authentomics and apply it to the cannabis industry, as well address what considerations need to be made in the future to make the most of authentomics. The author conclude that an authentomics approach "provides a robust method for verifying the quality of cannabis products."
