With technological advancement, accelerated product upgrades, technical standards upgrades, and the rapid advancement of globalization, foreign-invested testing companies have developed rapidly in China, and competition in the domestic testing industry has become increasingly fierce. All testing institutions are pursuing more efficient and convenient working modes. Under the pressure of improving efficiency and reducing costs, many third-party laboratories have begun to seek to introduce laboratory information management systems. Domestic LIMS software companies and products have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. For those testing companies/institutions that have not yet implemented LIMS, especially for those small and medium-sized testing companies that cannot spend such a large amount of money, how to spend the least money (preferably at no cost) and use a set of suitable testing information The system is what they care about most. So, is the price of the detection information system the more expensive the better?
The testing agency should choose the most suitable product according to its own situation, not the more expensive the better. In the informationization of testing institutions, there is no best, only the most suitable.
1. Clearly sort out the needs of your own laboratory: Before choosing the laboratory information management system LIMS, you should do a comprehensive investigation and analysis. It is an understanding of the basic data of the LIMS system, and then combine the needs of laboratory management personnel to find out that meets the industry A personalized laboratory management platform for routine processes.
2. Do more research, analysis, and comparison, try to try products on the market first. Only after you really understand the analysis and try it out can you know whether this product is suitable for you, and how suitable it is.
3. To understand the flexibility and adaptability of the product, if the cost of adaptation is high, it means that the product is not flexible enough, and future upgrades and maintenance may be in a high cost situation. Choosing products with high flexibility is crucial to the long-term benefits of informatization.
4. The LIMS system has many functions, and the price varies greatly according to the needs of different functional modules. Each laboratory has its own business fields and characteristics, so you must choose the LIMS system that suits you. Generally, LIMS software developers will have their own LIMS system core modules, but different LIMS system core modules target different business areas. For example, for the same business management module, different manufacturers provide different services.
When purchasing a LIMS system, you must first understand the business scope of the LIMS system and whether it meets the business needs of your own laboratory. Secondly, through communication and trial, you can further understand the matching relationship between the LIMS system and your own laboratory, and then communicate and negotiate with the manufacturer. Specific layout, customization and other requirements.
The LIMS system adopts modern information technology, and has developed a LIMS management software with a good user interface, easy to learn, easy to use, convenient to maintain, and flexible to quickly and accurately complete all kinds of detection, analysis and data collection, processing and storage, and realize full experiments. Computerized management of laboratories and full-services, networked operation of customer laboratory testing data processing systems, helping customers change the previous operation and management mode, and realizing testing business processes and resources (including testing data, personnel, equipment, standard materials, Information management of reagent materials, technology and quality documents, testing funds, etc.) provides scientific, standardized and efficient management methods for laboratories.
