Using Automated Tools to Regression Test LIMS
Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS) are an important part of any modern laboratory. It is vitally important that any LIMS in operation function properly and reliably to ensure both data integrity and regulatory compliance. As such, a thorough computer system validation (CSV) plan should be developed and executed as part of any LIMS implementation project to confirm that the system is functioning as expected.

Of course, keeping personal health information protected is important, but what challenges exist to this point in the highly busy and time-sensitive setting of the emergency medical setting? At the end of 2017 Mahlaola and van Dyk published an article on this topic in the South African Journal of Bioethics and Law that "argues that the minimum standards of effective password use prescribed by the information security sector are not suitable to the emergency-driven medical environment, and that their application as required by law raises new and unforeseen ethical dilemmas. " Using the picture archiving and communication system (PACS) as the primary focus, the authors collected survey responses from Johannesburg-based hospital and radiology departments. After analysis and discussion, they conclude that indeed some ethical quandary exists in the fight to protect patient data using passwords while also trying to save lives, particularly in settings where "seconds count."

Using ETL Tools for LIMS Data Migration
For today’s scientific organizations, a laboratory information management system (LIMS) is necessary tool for effective data management in the laboratory. For many reasons, companies often find themselves in a situation where it is advantageous to upgrade the laboratory environment by migrating data from legacy systems into a new or even existing LIMS. A LIMS data migration project will often involve the use of ETL technology to assist.
Migrating data to a LIMS can be a challenging endeavor, however. Companies often have years of historical data and knowledge stored in their existing LIMS that must be migrated over to the chosen system. Depending on the amount and complexity of the data sources in the legacy system(s), as well as the complexity of the new LIMS, the data migration can require much time and labor. Unless the project team does proper planning and execution, the migration process can end up being the cause of major project delays.
