Most end users want to integrate their LIMS with external systems, such as other applications or instruments. Although this process can be challenging, it’s critical for streamlining data management and ensuring seamless laboratory operations. Unfortunately, many LIMS implementations ultimately haven’t included instrument interfaces for a variety of reasons. Common obstacles include time and budget limits, proprietary instrument formats, and available resources. In some cases, stakeholders even question the benefits of interfacing with instruments altogether! Although each laboratory must ass ..read more

The entire purpose – or at least a primary purpose – of a LIMS is the ability to rely on it as a central repository for ‘all things lab.’ However, the LIMS’ ability to serve as a lab’s informatics hub is only as good as its ability to speak with other instruments and systems. There are many different types of instruments a lab manager might want to connect to the LIMS, and these are categorized as either ‘simple instruments’ or ‘complex instruments.’   Simple Versus Complex Instruments What’s the difference? A “simple” instrument is defined as one that uses a protocol such as RS ..read more

Today’s laboratories are at the forefront of innovation and testing, often producing vast amounts of valuable data. To effectively manage this data and optimize laboratory processes, scientists and technicians have traditionally relied on Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS). Although traditional LIMS have provided indispensable tools for sample tracking, data organization, and compliance management, they have historically relied on rule-based approvals, tracking, data organization and searching. They’ve lacked the capacity to adapt to complex patterns or the ability to predict ou ..read more

  In February 2022, former Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun made baseball history by becoming the first major-league player to have a positive drug test overturned on appeal. How? It came down to the samples’ chain of custody. The National League’s most valuable player dodged a 50-game suspension when it was shown that his urine sample had not been handled in accordance with Major League Baseball’s chain-of-custody policy for drug testing. The policy required specimens to be sent to the laboratory on the same day they are collected or to be appropriately safeguarded in a cool and ..read more
