Should You Integrate LIMS Data with a Data Warehouse or Use Data Federation?
Every lab manager knows that good data is essential for advancing science — whether it’s to track trends, confirm or disprove hypotheses, or compare results across experiments. But what’s the best way to ensure decisions are based on good data in your lab environment? Modern clinical diagnostic labs generate a wealth of valuable data through the use of numerous tools and applications. All this data can end up stored in multiple locations or silos, including the laboratory information management system (LIMS). [Read More]
The Future of Used Oil Analysis Labs
While there are approximately 200 used oil analysis laboratories (sometimes called “oil condition monitoring” (OCM) labs) in North America alone, with the industry expected to grow to $1.4B by 2026, some believe used oil analysis may be one of those things we never see again, like eight-track tapes and disposable cameras. With the advancement of sensor technology, electrification replacing internal combustion engines, and the trend for in-house oil analysis laboratories, the market may diminish for the traditional, large, commercial OCMs. [Read More]
Therapeutic Antibody Development: The Importance of Plate Map Design
Therapeutic antibodies are now the predominant class of new drugs. Advancing safe, effective antibodies to the clinic requires narrowing a pool of thousands of candidates using high-throughput microplate-based assays. Designing plate aps for these assays using Excel or outdated digital tools is a time-consuming task prone to error, slowing the screening process and leading to critical errors in data analysis. Using LIMSense, a modern LIMS from AduroSys, can improve data quality, reduce costs, and ensure the most effective antibodies reach patients. [Read More]

The modeling of laboratory information systems in higher education based on enterprise architecture planning (EAP) for optimizing monitoring and equipment maintenance
In this 2023 article published in the Indonesian journal Matrix: Jurnal Manajemen Teknologi Dan Informatika, Ifriza et al. present their approach to developing a laboratory-based information system for monitoring the condition and maintenance of instruments at the laboratories of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, State University of Semarang (FMIPA UNNES). After providing a brief introduction, the authors discuss their methodology to developing such a software system, as well as the results, which are explained in terms of the five enterprise architecture planning (EAP) steps used to develop it. The authors conclude that "[b]ased on the results of the study, it can be concluded that the use of laboratory systems for monitoring and maintenance in laboratory management has proven to be very valid."
