Report Designs in LIMS do matter in today’s “visible” world

Most of us are not accomplished graphic designers - or photographers for that matter. But our clients still expect that we will produce easy-to-follow reports that can help them to communicate with other stakeholders how your laboratory is performing. One of the best ways to ensure that your reports have the information and look you want is to utilize the features inherent with report templates within a LIMS.
