How the LabLynx LIMS Helps Labs Achieve Good Laboratory Practice
Good laboratory practice, or GLP, is a quality system of management concerned with the organizational process and conditions of non-clinical laboratory testing. The most central elements of GLP are record-keeping and the maintenance of attributable, original, accurate, and traceable reports and critical documents. Adding a laboratory information management system (LIMS) to any lab can help easily meet the requirements to ensure GLP adherence. [Read More]

QLIMS Business Intelligence – Part 1
Data has become an invaluable asset for organisations, including laboratory data. However, accessing laboratory data has been a challenge, as many LIMS applications rely on outdated technologies and systems. But with the advent of modern data analysis tools like Business Intelligence (BI) and Artificial Intelligence (AI), the field of data science has become more accessible. In this blog article, we will explore QLIMS Business Intelligence which helps organisations to visualise the data and convert it into knowledge. This is the first part of our series on QLIMS BI. Stay tuned for the second part. [Read More]

An overview of data warehouse and data lake in modern enterprise data management
Noting only one known work comparing data warehouses (DWs) with data lakes (DLs), with that article failing to fully address "a comprehensive analysis of both data management schemes by addressing various aspects" in detail, Nambiar and Mundra take to that task in this 2022 article published in Big Data and Cognitive Computing. After an introduction to the state of DWs and DLs, the authors then discuss the finer points of both data management schemes, while also conducting a literature review on the topic. They then discuss the specifics of architecture regarding DWs and DLs, as well as the data management aspects and useful tools that enhance them. After discussing various challenges and opportunities for the two schemes, the authors conclude that "[d]espite being used interchangeably, they are two distinct storage forms with unique characteristics that serve different purposes."
