LIMS + LES: A Winning Combination

Over the last several years a new trend has begun to take shape in the laboratory informatics market.  I’m talking about the emergence and rapid acceptance of Laboratory Executions Systems (LES) for use in quality control labs and other standardized testing environments like contract or environmental testing labs.  Interestingly, LES solutions are often integrated to a Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) as opposed to being implemented as a standalone solution.  Why is this the case?  What makes the LIMS/LES solution so powerful?  But before going too far down the path of exploring the LIMS/LES solution, let’s take a step back and explore LES and LIMS solutions, individually.
