Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS)
A laboratory information management system manages sample and laboratory workflow information. Its configuration can cover registration, test assignment, results, review and reporting.
Product & engineering
Understand the product.
A LIMS is a software-based system with features that support a modern laboratory's operations. Key features include workflow and data tracking support, flexible architecture, and smart data exchange interfaces and more. The features and uses of a LIMS have evolved over the years from simple sample tracking to an enterprise resource-planning tool that manages multiple aspects of laboratory informatics. The LIMS is an evolving concept, with new features and functionality being added often.
Sample identifiers, methods and chain-of-custody events determine record relationships. Instrument interfaces reduce manual entry only when results map to the correct sample and method.
Audit trails, permissions and review workflows depend on configured practice. LIMS, instrument data systems and electronic notebooks have related but different responsibilities.
What turns activity into demand
Demand follows laboratories, methods and the operating records they must control. Software, configuration, instrument integration and validation services are distinct scope.
The commercial boundary
Software, configuration, instrument integration and validation services are distinct scope.
