Configuring LIMS Software for NGS
When selecting and configuring LIMS software, five major areas of functionality define the biggest differences between potential options. A lab’s requirements within each area will depend on the nature of the work they do. This article explores what those requirements typically look like for a lab focused on next-generation sequencing (NGS).
The work of an NGS lab is characterized by complex, highly varied workflows involving expensive, single-use components and failure rates as high as 20%. So LIMS software for NGS must be designed to manage this complexity while minimizing the risk of failure and providing the flexibility to adapt to different workflows.
