Why a LIMS implementation must use a product approach instead of a project one.
LIMS implementations are often under discussion and get deemed as long term expensive projects with high costs.
But why are these implementations so expensive? Do they really have to take many months or years of time? Can we still call it a product if it needs so many additional services?
We’ll explain why they don’t need to be so.

What Is Computer System Validation, and How Do I Do It Right?
The process of software validation ensures that the system fits its intended use and functions as it should. Computer system validation (CSV) for laboratory informatics is essential because regulated businesses must ensure the safety of their products for consumers, and their laboratory informatics systems (LIMS, ELN, CDS) are an integral part of that. Given its… Read MoreTips for SampleManager LIMS Instrument Integration

Interoperability challenges in the cybersecurity information sharing ecosystem
Cybersecurity and how it's handled by an organization has many facets, from examining existing systems, setting organizational goals, and investing in training, to probing for weaknesses, monitoring access, and containing breaches. An additional and vital element an organization must consider is how to conduct "effective and interoperable cybersecurity information sharing." As Rantos et al. note, while the adoption of standards, best practices, and policies prove useful to incorporating shared cybersecurity threat information, "a holistic approach to the interoperability problem" of sharing cyber threat information and intelligence (CTII) is required. The authors lay out their case for this approach in their 2020 paper published in Computers, concluding that their method effectively "addresses all those factors that can affect the exchange of cybersecurity information among stakeholders."
Summer May Have Ended, but it’s Time to Head to the Pool(ed Testing)
With the end of summer came the return of fall favorites – turning leaves, cooler weather, pumpkin spice, and much more – but also with the fall came flu season, which is particularly worrisome as we battle the COVID-19 pandemic. In Sunquest’s latest blog post, learn how labs can quickly put pooled testing in place to help manage through a fall or winter surge of COVID-19.

Five Steps to Successfully Convert Your Classroom Training to ELearning
Nearly 70 million strong, Millennials are now the largest generation in the American workforce. This generation is tech savvy and, having grown up with 24/7 internet access, sees the world as being connected through technology. Millennials often prefer to interact with others via e-mails and text messaging as opposed to face-to-face communication. As such, corporate training for the Millennial generation may best be accomplished through internet-based delivery systems.

SaaS in the laboratory- Special Times ask for Special Solutions
With the restrictions caused by COVID-19 , the way we work and organise our family lives has changed. We keep social distance, plan our outdoors activities to meet local regulations and we work as much as possible from home. Laboratories are no exceptions, but in practice difficult to structure for remote working. There is a need for tools to help the lab personnel to, partly, work remotely and at the same time to maintain the expected level of accuracy and quality in secure environment.

LIMS Implementations – Important Lessons Learned
Gain insight into past LIMS implementation projects to learn from their failures and successes so that your deployment can be done right, the first time.LIMS implementation projects can be highly complex IT projects and, therefore, carry the same risks to success as other projects (and not just IT projects). Wouldn’t it be great to have inside knowledge on how other projects have gone, learn from their mistakes, and capitalize on their successes?

In this "short communication" from the International Journal of Infectious Diseases, Xu et al. provide a succinct review of the currently available laboratory testing technologies used to verify COVID-19 infection in patients. The authors review viral cultures, whole genome sequencing, real-time RT-PCR, isothermal amplification, and serological testing, as well as point-of-care testing utilizing one of those methods. They also discuss the sample types that should be collected, and at what stage they are most effective. They close by noting that choosing "a diagnostic assay for COVID-19 should take the characteristics and advantages of various technologies, as well as different clinical scenarios and requirements, into full consideration."
