| | Articles | Electronic lab notebooks: Can they replace paper? Despite the increasingly digital nature of society, there are some areas of research that remain firmly rooted in the past; in this case the laboratory notebook, the last remaining paper component of an experiment. Countless electronic laboratory notebooks (ELNs) have been created in an attempt to digitize record keeping processes in the lab, but none of them have become a "key player" in the ELN market, due to the many adoption barriers that have been identified in previous research and further explored in the user studies presented here.
Manage Testing and Laboratory Workflows with LIMS CloudLIMS recenty hosted a live complimentary webinar on "Manage Testing and Laboratory Workflows with LIMS", presented by Mr. Rakhil Akkali, Product Analyst at CloudLIMS.com. The webinar provided insights on how a LIMS plays a pivotal role in automatic sample accessioning, sample tracking using barcodes, managing multi-analyte tests and test Chain of Custody (CoC), automated report generation, besides helping testing laboratories follow regulatory guidelines seamlessly.
What the FDA’s Quality Metrics Reporting Program Means for Your Lab Interfacing instruments, data systems, and information systems to LIMS: It can wait! The benefits are clear, but why is it that interfacing systems and instruments to a LIMS tends to be one of the last things done during a LIMS implementation if it is done at all?
