A Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) plays a crucial role in increasing the operational efficiency of laboratories. As a key lab automation technology, LIMS streamlines workflows and automates work processes, eliminating the need for manual information maintenance. It also facilitates hardware integration, including lab robotics and automated instruments.

How Good Informatics Helps Increase Productivity in Labs

LabVantage’s Bob Voelkner speaks with Rita Peters of PharmTech at CPhI NA 2019 on the impact of good informatics on productivity.

  • Automation: Eliminate non-value added activities by automating rote tasks that were traditionally done on paper. This includes hooking up lab instruments directly to LIMS to get results faster and eliminate errors, and using electronic worksheets to interface with other business applications.
  • Improved Data Integrity and Availability: Having results automatically driven into LIMS improves data integrity and makes results available faster with more confidence.
  • Work Assignment and Planning: The addition of a work assignment and planning tool allows labs to plan and optimize their workflow process, which helps to better utilize on-hand inventory sources and release finished product (information) back to the company quicker.

What is LIMS

LIMS, initially referred to as Laboratory Information Management System, has evolved to describe various management activities related to laboratory automation. As laboratory operations become more standardized and complex, there is an increased demand for diverse functionalities in LIMS.​

LIMS systems can be utilized for managing samples, instruments, inventory, providing quotes, invoicing, security management, audit trails, document creation, scheduling, replacing lab notebooks, ensuring regulatory compliance, and featuring management modules tailored for specific industry research needs (e.g., biobanking).
