Ocimum Biosolutions launches Pharmatracker™, a LIMS targeted towards Pharma Industry
Ocimum Biosolutions announces the launch of Pharmatracker™, a LIMS (Laboratory Information Management system) for the Pharma industry.
A pharmaceutical lab has its own specialized requirements, which cannot be taken care of by a generic LIMS. For instance quality assurance at each stage of drug development, stability analysis, trend analysis etc are very important for these labs. Pharmatracker™, next generation pharmaceutical LIMS promises to be flexible, extensible and scalable enough to cope with the rapid progress in pharmaceutical research and information technology. This solution will improve overall integrity of information and reduce the cost of building and maintaining interfaces between applications.
Ms Anuradha Acharya, CEO, Ocimum Biosolutions said, “Selecting the right LIMS may be a crucial decision that a company or lab has to make. Buying a LIMS required a buy in from all users of the lab as it is going to be committed to the chosen product for several years. The LIMS should easily morph into the labs requirement. We have been working very closely with a few pharmaceutical companies to understand their workflow and give this industry a LIMS, which caters to their specific needs and also to the various regulatory bodies. We expect that our cost effective Pharmatracker™ will meet each and every pharmaceutical lab’s expectations of an ideal LIMS. For a smaller lab using Pharmatracker, there would be no need to get an additional ERP package as Pharmatracker takes care of most of the functions performed in a lab.”
