Investing in a new Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) — or even your lab’s first LIMS — is a big step. The team who runs the day-to-day business of the lab may know just how beneficial such a change can be, especially [...]
“We reduced the number of expired chemicals in our labs from 4,000 to 45. We also started saving $2 million a year.” What is the cost of wasted chemicals, reagents, standards and other consumables such as agar plates, gloves and [...]
Modern labs enabled by LabVantage Enterprise run very efficiently, with multiple workstations providing convenient access to all of the data any given user needs to perform their tasks. Look closer, however, and you’ll probably find situations where both efficiency and [...]
updated: November 12, 2022 The LIMS world uses what could be called a language of its own. For anyone exploring a new Laboratory Information Management System, this glossary of LIMS-related terms may be of assistance in your journey. # 21 [...]
The first use of a laboratory information management system (LIMS) for forensic investigation is a significant milestone in the history of LIMS. Unfortunately, it came in the wake of a terrible tragedy — the crash of TAM Airlines flight 3054 in [...]
This post continues our series on molecular biology, which began with a discussion on informatics in biopharma R&D. In this installment, we’ll provide an overview of some exciting trends in precision medicine – especially as it relates to targeted cancer [...]
Digitization of your lab’s data is increasingly vital to performance and profitability. Today, that data represents a business advantage. Tomorrow, it’s likely to be mission-critical – or even existential. Digital transformation (DT) is more than a buzzword – it has [...]
In today’s world, you are facing ever-increasing caseloads and higher-than-ever demands for full traceability. Forensic organizations need tools that expedite and streamline processes while rigorously documenting chain-of-custody, analytical activities, and quality assurance traceability. A Growing ‘Reliance on Science’ Ever since [...]
We often field questions about the LabVantage Pharma Accelerator, which is described as a ‘pre-validated’ platform. But what does ‘pre-validation’ actually mean? Quality and computer system validation professionals understand that formal validation can only take place on the production system, [...]
In this first installment of our molecular biology series, we’ll discuss the importance of scientific and technological evolution in the R&D space. A new era of breakthrough science is reshaping the healthcare, biotech, and agricultural industries. The scientific approach to [...]
