Integrating Instruments with Your STARLIMS System
Integrating laboratory instruments with a LIMS (laboratory information management system) such as STARLIMS is one of the best ways to improve data integrity and drive operational efficiency in the laboratory. Instrument integration helps to facilitate significantly increased sample throughput and a reduction of data transcription errors. Instrument integration also tends to increase scientist job satisfaction by reducing tedious tasks like writing down results and manual data entry. This allows scientists to spend more time doing the actual science that helps drive innovation for your organization.
Instrument integration with LIMS is one of the keys to transforming your laboratory operations, improving product quality, and turning your data into knowledge. Some of the most common instruments that are integrated with LIMS include GC, GCMS, HPLC, LCMS, ICP, Particle Counters, DNA Sequencers, Balances, AA Analyzers, Titrators.
STARLIMS provides a comprehensive LIMS solution that improves quality and safety throughout the entire product lifecycle. STARLIMS allows for multiple methods of interfacing directly with the lab instrumentation. In this blog, we’ll discuss two common approaches for integrating instruments with STARLIMS, along with their advantages and disadvantages.
