Make Your Laboratory Results Report Unique
Our last blog talked about making your laboratory results report readable and informative, but how do you make sure it is still unique to your laboratory?Using Third Party Applications to Enhance Your LIMS Data Visualization and Analytics Capabilities
The digital revolution is rapidly changing the landscape for scientific laboratories. Digital technologies like the internet of things (IoT) and cloud storage are allowing companies to generate and store more data than ever before. Yet, with the arrival of big data, the volume and complexity of data in modern laboratories can make managing this critical asset extremely challenging. Towards this end, Laboratory information management systems (LIMS) have become an invaluable tool in modern scientific laboratories for effective data management.
The Best Reasons to Use SLIMS for NGS
In the last few years, Next Generation Sequencing instruments and bioinformatics software have undergone tremendous progress. However, to get the most out of those revolutionary advances, NGS labs need one more tool. A LIMS automates lab work to maximize efficiency and minimize errors, ensures the quality of each sample’s metadata for secondary and tertiary analysis, is flexible enough to cope with the constant evolutions of lab workflows, and finally, allows the user to monitor and improve the quality and efficiency of the lab process.New ELN Template and Mobile Apps in the STARLIMS Content Library

Biosero, a premiere developer of software and integrated solutions to automate laboratory workflows, announced today completion of FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliance certification for their Laboratory Automation Software package, Green Button Go.systemPipeR: NGS workflow and report generation environment
In this 2016 paper published in BMC Bioinformatics, Backman and Girke discuss the R/Bioconductor package systemPipeR. Recognizing that the analysis of next-generation sequencing (NGS) data remains a significant challange, the authors turned to the R programming language and the Bioconductor environment to make workflows that were "time-efficient and reproducible." After giving some background and then discussing the development and implementation, they conclude that systemPipeR helps researchers "reduce the complexity and time required to translate NGS data into interpretable research results, while a built-in reporting feature improves reproducibility."
5 More LIMS Myths – Busted!
Our previous blog on debunking LIMS and LIMS consulting myths proved to be a very popular blog. With that in mind, we have gathered here five more prevalent LIMS myths to be discussed. As before, while there may be a small kernel of truth to some of these, for the most part these statements do not hold water. So, without further ado, let’s take a look at these LIMS myths and get to the busting!

A data quality strategy to enable FAIR, programmatic access across large, diverse data collections for high performance data analysis
A data quality strategy (DQS) is useful for researchers, organizations, and others, primarily because it allows them "to establish a level of assurance, and hence confidence, for [their] user community and key stakeholders as an integral part of service provision." Evans et al. of the Australian National University, recognizing this importance, discuss the implementation of their DQS at the Australian National Computational Infrastructure (NCI), detailing their strategy and providing examples in this 2017 paper. They conclude that "[a]pplying the DQS means that scientists spend less time reformatting and wrangling the data to make it suitable for use by their applications and workflows—especially if their applications can read standardized interfaces."
