Key LIMS Features that Increase the Return on Your Investment
Forensic science marries a number of diverse disciplines including biological and DNA analysis, trace and chemical analysis of non-organics, pathology, and toxicology. As such, forensic science utilizes a myriad of techniques and equipment in an attempt to collect, preserve, and identify crime-scene evidence. Recently, advances in biotechnology and instrumentation have revolutionized the modern forensics lab, presenting a host of new challenges and opportunities for the forensic scientist. Join Lab Manager’s free educational webinar where our panel of experts will discuss the latest trends and tools in forensic science today.
Multi-site LIMS Harmonization Webinar
Ensuring that a centrally-served, browser-accessed LIMS is used to its fullest potential in a multi-site deployment requires a systematic harmonization across all laboratory enterprise sites. This webinar will explore the process for capturing current state workflows and projecting future state improvements and harmonization across distributed locations and work groups.

A pocket guide to electronic laboratory notebooks in the academic life sciences
In this "opinion article" published in the open-access journal F1000Research, Dirnagl and Przesdzing argue for the benefits of — and recognize the occasional problems with — electronic laboratory notebooks (ELNs). The duo attempts to answer the questions "What does it afford you, what does it require, and how should you go about implementing it?" They conclude that ELNs improve workflow and collaboration, allow for greater data integration, reduce transcription errors, improve data quality, and promote compliance with a variety of practices and regulations. "We have no doubt that ELNs will become standard in most life science laboratories in the near future," they state at the end.

Sample Receipt Checklist
When logging in samples, laboratories must verify the conditions under which the samples were received. The most efficient way to do this is a checklist within the LIMS. This not only helps automate the process, it also records the checklist automatically, adding to the necessary paper trail for audits.

Diagnostic time in digital pathology: A comparative study on 400 cases
Is digital diagnostic determination of pathology images quicker than microscopic? It depends on who you ask. Vodovnik published results of his comparative study in early 2016, comparing digital and microscopic diagnostic times using tools such as digital pathology workstations and laboratory information management systems. His conclusion: "A shorter diagnostic time in digital pathology comparing with traditional microscopy can be achieved in the routine diagnostic setting with adequate and stable network speeds, fully integrated LIMS and double displays as default parameters, in addition to better ergonomics, larger viewing field, and absence of physical slide handling, with effects on the both diagnostic and nondiagnostic time."
