LIMS and ELNs – News and Features

A LIMS, WinPath Enterprise, will replace ageing IT at three trusts, support the development of a pathology hub, improve the availability of test results for clinicians and patients, and lay the foundations for a wider pathology network.

Thermo Fisher Scientific and Agilent Technologies have announced they are continuing their agreement to the Instrument Control Exchange Program, fostering compatibility among key vendors' instrumentation and chromatography data systems (CDS).

New LIMS software provides new features that are now included in the runsheet, graphical configuration tools and substance management functionality.

Martin and Tom discuss the evolution of drug discovery, the challenges faced by those working in the field, and share how AI, machine learning and robotics are impacting the discovery and clinical success of drugs.

Over the past 10-15 years, chromatography data systems (CDS) have been at the center of data integrity issues involving data falsification, resulting in numerous FDA warning letters. In this article, we investigate the main violations cited in FDA warning letters and discuss how to avoid them.

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guidance on data integrity has challenged firms to "implement meaningful and effective strategies to manage their data integrity risks" to maintain integrity. In this article, BioData's Steve Yemm explains how Electronic Lab Notebooks (ELNs) help to meet these standards.

La Trobe University researchers have revealed for the first time how white blood cells control the final moments of their death, helping their own removal from the human body.

More efficient data management is the top priority for numerous soil analysis facilities and many of them look to laboratory information management systems (LIMS) to achieve this. In this article, we describe how Agrosavia improved the efficiency and capacity of their soil analysis workflow by implementing a LIMS with a centralized results portal and integrated business tools.

Mazes are an integral part of rodent behavioral research. In recent years, scientific data collected from maze studies have moved towards more cloud-based and electronic storage as opposed to traditional paper-based storage. In this article, we discuss modern mazes with Shuhan He, founder of maze developer MazeEngineers.com.

How can vendors ensure their technologies are less complex, and therefore available to a wider range of users, without compromising on the quality of data?
