In the absence of a cohesive, centralized system, the process of monitoring changes and obtaining the latest information within multi-lab environments becomes an intricate and prone-to-error undertaking. Laboratory information management systems (LIMS) can significantly improve efficiency and quality in multi-lab organizations.

Most of us in the laboratory community have heard the term “LIMS,” though in the healthcare arena, it’s probably “LIS.” Both terms refer to software that is at the very heart of the modern laboratory. Essentially, both are the same: the main data management software for a laboratory. But the differences revolve around the fact that a LIMS is sample-centric and an LIS is patient-centric.

Journal articles
In this 2023 article published in
Science and Technology of Advanced Materials: Methods, Ishii
et al. describe their cross-institutional efforts towards integrating X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) spectra and associated metadata across multiple databases to improve materials informatics processes and research methods of materials discovery and analysis. Their new public database, MDR XAFS DB, was developed towards this goal, while addressing two main issues with unifying such data: the difficulties of "designing and collecting metadata describing spectra and sample details, and unifying the vocabulary used in the metadata, including not only metadata items (keys) but also descriptions (values)." After discussing the system's construction and contents, the authors conclude their system "has achieved seamless cross searchability with the use of sample nomenclature so that database users do not have to be aware of the differences in the local metadata of the facilities that provide the data." Though still with some challenges to address, the authors add that while the culture of open data hasn't truly taken hold in materials science, they hope "that this initiative will be a trigger to promote the utilization of materials data."

Does your environmental lab use a 30-year-old laboratory information management system (LIMS) that is slow and not user friendly, but still works? Have you ever considered the real cost of maintaining that system or the limitations it has? How do you figure that out and make the case to upgrade? Modernizing your LIMS could be a big investment of time and resources and can add a layer of complexity when managing legacy data, but modernizing may also significantly improve the efficiency and accuracy of your environmental lab.

Pharmaceutical and medical device companies benefit from using a structured approach to data items, connections between data items, and data containers. Working with data that is internally structured reduces the time needed to create submission reports, eliminates the manual verification of large data tables, and ensures the creation of submission deliverables with no technical errors.
