LIMS is the abbreviation of Laboratory Information Management System. LIMS is software that helps laboratories collect, organize, and track their data. Such systems can improve laboratory efficiency while ensuring data accuracy and consistency.
LIMS can handle a variety of laboratory data, including sample tracking, test data management, quality control, equipment management, and data reporting. It also helps laboratories comply with various regulations and standards such as GLP, GMP and ISO 17025.
Selecting and using a LIMS needs to be customized based on the laboratory's specific needs and business processes. When selecting a LIMS system, you should consider the system's stability, ease of use, scalability, and whether it can be integrated with commonly used laboratory equipment and software.
Basic functions of LIMS
01. Laboratory resource management
Manage resource information such as laboratory equipment, instruments, and consumables, including operations such as borrowing, returning, and repairing equipment.
02. Test project management
Manage test project information, including project name, person in charge, test plan, test report, etc.
It can help test laboratory managers better understand test progress and quality.
03. Test data management
Can help test laboratory managers better understand test results and problems.
04. Test report management
Ability to generate test reports, including test results, problem lists, suggestions, etc.
It can help test laboratory managers better report testing status to project teams and management.
05. Statistical analysis function
Able to perform statistical analysis on laboratory resources, test projects, test data, etc., including visual display of data.
It can help test laboratory managers better understand laboratory operations and problems.
Problems with LIMS
1. Trial work is the core work content of the test laboratory, but various test systems, such as CNAS, 2725A, etc., require a lot of documents.
Every step needs to be recorded, every process needs to be recorded, and there is not enough time for evaluation and testing: because the time is taken up by documentation work.
2. Laboratory personnel need a lot of training to establish systems and become familiar with various processes and document templates.
Training costs are high and the training cycle is long. Any person's resignation or job change can easily have disastrous consequences...
3. The complex documentation system affects the normal operation of the laboratory.
It is difficult to carry out projects and difficult to implement projects...
Documentation automatically generated
Test process data collection and test document automatic generation solution
Define data items: filter data sources from process database
Data item type: database, text, table image
Data items: data extraction from process database
New report: drawing
Assign reports to projects
Report output to template
