Results You Can Rely On: How LIMS Software Helps Laboratories Comply with ISO 17025

Speaking in July 2021 at the online symposium, Advances in Food & Beverage Analysis, Jeff Collins, Senior Engineer of Field Applications at Thermo Fisher Scientific, presented his talk on LIMS software for the food testing lab.

Abstract: The importance for manufacturers to monitor food safety throughout all processes has increased as global supply chains become more complex and laboratory standards advance. Food safety requires extensive scheduled testing of facilities to monitor for the presence of potential contamination, the identification of critical control points for the testing process, and the adherence to changing
regulations. As laboratories ensure their workflows and processes meet a certain quality standard, they must make sure their testing processes are reliable and repeatable and their instruments and equipment are calibrated and in good repair. Leveraging the latest technological advancements and the access to
high quality data will increase the productivity and compliance of food safety laboratories. Please join Thermo Fisher Scientific as our industry expert, Jeff Collins, discusses the latest FDA mandates and ISO 17025 guidelines, what those standards mean for your food & beverage laboratory, and how innovative
software solutions can ease compliance.

This presentation will discuss:

• The latest FDA and ISO 22000 and ISO 17025 guidelines related to the food & beverage industry regulations
• How a LIMS can address industry related trends and challenges and help laboratories comply with ISO 17025
• Using a LIMS to manage your environmental monitoring program
